The 50th Workshop: Building Bonds for Our Future

For five decades, this conference has been the premier gathering for public finance professionals at every level, bringing together the nation’s leading municipal bond, tax, and securities attorneys to strengthen professional relationships, exchange ideas, and advance the practice of public finance law. We are excited to be back in Chicago, where it all began, for The Workshop 2026 on October 14 to 16.
