InvestmentContracts.com to Host the Freeing Howey Investment Contract Summit

InvestmentContracts.com is set to host a groundbreaking summit titled the "Freeing Howey Investment Contract Summit", scheduled for March 6th and 7th, 2025, in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. This two-day event marks a historic moment in financial law, as it aims to dissect and resolve nearly eight decades of debate surrounding the infamous Howey Test.

The Howey Test, established in 1946, has been a long-standing benchmark in determining what constitutes an investment contract under U.S. securities law. Justin W. Keener, the president of InvestmentContracts.com and the driving force behind this summit, believes that it is time to bring closure to the controversies surrounding this test. He states, "On Thursday March 6th and Friday March 7th, we will make history and end the 80-year debate over the 'Howey Test' once and for all."

Held in the place where the Howey Test originated, this summit is a full-circle moment for the investment community. Keener explains, "The Howey name is a good name, and it will be cleared once and for all. Accordingly, the 'Howey Test' will be officially renamed, though we haven’t yet finalized the new name because we invite interested parties to submit naming ideas." This highlights the initiative's forward-looking perspective and fosters community involvement in redefining significant terms in investment law.

The summit is expected to attract influential figures within the financial and cryptocurrency sectors, including SEC Commissioners and high-profile executives from crypto companies. Invitations, dubbed “Golden Orange,” have already been sent to key officials such as SEC's Commissioners Uyeda, Peirce, and Crenshaw, alongside prominent members of Congress and Senate. The event aims to unite these stakeholders in a collaborative effort to tackle the complexities of the Howey Test and introduce groundbreaking insights that promise to shape the future of investment contracts.

In Keener's words, this event is designed to be “an epic, once-in-a-lifetime historically significant event not to be missed.” The summit's agenda will likely revolve around presenting new research and data that challenge the previously held interpretations of the Howey Test. This includes discussions on potential reforms in how investment contracts are viewed legally, especially in the context of the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency landscape.

Participants will have the unique opportunity to engage with legal experts, policymakers, and cryptocurrency executives, fostering a rich dialogue around potential changes and innovations. This summit provides a backdrop for exploring the intersections of technology and securities law, especially as new financial instruments and platforms emerge.

Those interested in attending are encouraged to apply for a Golden Orange invitation as this summit marks not only the conclusion of a long-standing debate but also the dawning of new perspectives in investment law.

As the summit approaches, anticipation builds in the investment community. Stakeholders are eager to learn how the breakthroughs presented at this summit could alter the landscape of investment contracts and usher in a new era of clarity and fairness in the market.

Stay tuned for updates as more information about speakers and the event's schedule is released. This could very well be the turning point that investment professionals have been waiting for, making it essential for anyone involved in investments to be part of this remarkable event.
