Closely Held Companies Committee (Lead)

Description

This interactive session will explore the benefits (and costs) of remaining a privately held company as compared to embarking on a public offering. As we know, there can be considerable benefits, and hidden downsides, to having listed securities. We will explore what needs to be done to prepare for a successful public listing and the pitfalls to avoid. We will also explore the characteristics of those organisations that have successfully executed on their strategic objectives without going public.
