Closing Session: Tying It All Together
The closing session takes listeners through a typical bond issue - from the initial client call to closing - using an interactive, informal platform that incorporates concepts from across the General Sessions and breakout sessions. Each panelist plays a different role (issuer, underwriter, bond attorney, and tax attorney), and they navigate through a bond transaction from start to finish. Along the way, they encounter, explain, and resolve issues that typically happen in public finance transactions.
