BOSTON, March 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston
Private, a leading wealth management and private banking company,
announced today that Dr. Cynthia
Breazeal, founder and chief scientist of Jibo, Inc., will be
the keynote speaker at its second annual Private Partnership CFO
Conference. The conference is a three-day event tailored for CFOs
in private equity, venture capital, fund of funds, real estate
funds, and infrastructure funds. The conference will take place
June 10-12 at Cape Cod's Wequassett Resort and Golf Club.
Registration and session details are now available at
www.bostonprivatebank.com.
Described by the company as the "world's first family robot,"
Jibo may look like it's straight out of a Pixar film, but the plans
Dr. Breazeal has for the open social robotics platform are very
real. Jibo first appeared on the scene last summer via its
Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, bringing in $2.3 million. Early this year, the company
announced a $25.3 million in Series A
financing.
"Our goal in hosting the conference is to provide relevant,
timely sessions in a setting that encourages attendees to interact
and network with like-minded peers," said Mark Thompson, Boston Private CEO and president.
"We look forward to building on the success of last year's event to
provide an even more engaging, informative and actionable
experience."
The Private Partnership CFO Conference brings attendees from
across the country together to network in an intimate setting.
Guests can participate in both small-group roundtable discussions
and larger general sessions to discuss best practices, current
trends and issues affecting the industry. Select roundtable
discussions will qualify for CPE credit. Concurrent sessions will
be held throughout the conference, giving CFOs the opportunity to
participate in interactive discussions on a variety of topics. For

Returning sponsors of the event include Ernst & Young and
Standish Management.
"We are delighted to partner once again with Boston Private as
they host their second annual Private Partnership CFO Conference in
June," said Ernst & Young tax partner Blair Murphy. "Our sponsorship of the 2014
conference gave us a powerful opportunity to provide a timely and
informative perspective on the critical issues and regulations
facing our clients. It also gave us the opportunity to engage with
our peers in a very unique setting. We very much look forward to
participating as a sponsor again this year."
"After our highly successful sponsorship of Boston Private's
inaugural Private Partnership CFO conference last year, Standish is
honored to be involved again in 2015," said Susan Gillick, partner, Standish
Management. "The intimate roundtable sessions, as well as the
unparalleled networking opportunities and the beautiful
Cape Cod setting, add up to a
can't-miss event."
