Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
Topic: Markets & Investing 1:13 am EDT, Nov  6, 2010

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and Rutgers University
November 5–6, 2010, Jekyll Island Club Hotel, Jekyll Island, Georgia

This special conference marks the centenary of the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting that resulted in draft legislation for the creation of a U.S. central bank. Parts of this draft (the Aldrich plan) were incorporated into the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the drafting of the Aldrich plan, the conference will take place at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel on Jekyll Island, Georgia—the same building where the 1910 meeting occurred.

The conference's discussions focus on three themes: the origins of the Fed and lessons from the pre-1913 era, how closely the Fed's actual performance has adhered to the original vision expressed by the framers of the Aldrich plan, and what the Fed's almost 100-year track record teaches us about its role going forward.

The webcast from the conference, "A Return to Jekyll Island: The Origins, History, and Future of the Federal Reserve," is scheduled to be available at the date and time below. Featured panelists will include: Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and Gerald Corrigan.

Date: November 6, 2010
Time: 10:45 AM EST
