2024 Spring IPO Bootcamp

Affiliated Programs

Wednesday, April 17, 2024

Virtual

Wilson Sonsini will join the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center with KPMG, BMO, and Microsoft Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact for a virtual IPO Bootcamp. The event will provide an overview on how to help private companies better understand the process behind an initial public offering. The market volatility seen in early 2024 has slowed the IPO market down, giving companies thinking about listing more time to prepare and strategize.

Expert partners will share insights on the current IPO climate.

This IPO bootcamp is intended for any executive who is involved in devising and/or executing an IPO – from CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, Chief Counsel, General Counsel – to leaders and the teams who are responsible for identifying and managing an IPO.

Topics to include:

IPO Market Update & Analysis by BMO
Preparing for and staying on track for your IPO
Executing your IPO
Fireside Chat with Bobby Bartlet, Stanford Law School and Steve Bochner, Partner, Wilson Sonsini
Achieving Success as a New Public Company
