After The Crunch: The Return of Public Equity Markets

8/26/09
3 pm – 6 pm
Hilton Garden Inn, 3939 Ocean Bluff Ave., 92130

The credit crisis of 2008 and collapse of major investment banks shuttered the IPO window, and VC investments slowed to a trickle in the first half of 2009. Yet some observers are seeing strong signs of a rebound in the market and in liquidity opportunities for venture-backed startups. Connect has organized a panel of financial, industry, and legal experts to discuss data on recent public transactions, preparing for a public offering in a new economic climate, and the significance of liquidity and valuation in a successful offering.
