Join us at The Institute 2025, an exclusive in-person event designed for seasoned bond attorneys (10+ years’ experience). This conference, held at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina from Thursday, March 20 to Friday, March 21, 2025, breaks away from traditional lecture-based formats. Instead, it features dynamic, discussion-based forums that encourage active participation and foster a sense of community among attendees.

Expand your knowledge and expertise, contribute to meaningful discussions, and be part of a transformative learning experience.

  • Interactive Discussion Forums: Engage in topic-based forums led by experienced moderators, promoting open dialogue and the exchange of innovative ideas.
  • Chatham House Rule: Enjoy candid discussions with the assurance that all conversations are “off the record,” encouraging honest and open communication.
  • Diverse Topics: Explore both perennial issues and emerging trends in bond law and the municipal market, including ESG factors, changing market structures, and key implementation of the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA).
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with prominent bond attorneys from every corner of the country, share insights, and build lasting professional relationships.
  • Comprehensive CLE Sessions: Gain actionable takeaways and earn CLE credits through sessions designed to challenge assumptions and broaden perspectives.
