UCM Brings the Music to ABS East

United Capital Markets (UCM) is hosting tonight’s concert and cocktail party that headlines Big Head Todd and the Monsters at Information Management Network’s (IMN) ABS East conference.

UCM has been behind some of the big-name entertainment at the securitization industry’s conferences over the years, featuring names like ZZ Top and the Blue Man Group.

Tonight’s cocktails and music means finding a balance between work and play won’t nearly be as hard as the balancing act that is required of the other negotiations between securitization market players happening at this year’s IMN’s event.
