ALUMNI ONLY – A Conversation with Bill Ackman, Pershing Square CEO (virtual)
Description
One year into the COVID-19 pandemic, with vaccinations accelerating and economic normality on the horizon, decision-makers have reason for optimism despite challenges the economy has faced and current economic markers. Additionally, the SPAC market continues to grow, as these special purpose acquisition companies raise capital through IPOs expressly to acquire a privately held company and take it public. Come listen to Bill Ackman in this Alumni only event as he talks about SPACs, the current market outlook and the post pandemic recovery.
Please join us for what promises to be a highly informative and fascinating conversation.
Although questions will be taken live during the event, attendees are encouraged to submit their questions in advance to programming@hbscny.org given the interest and turnout for this event is expected to be high.
Participants must register by April 21st to receive details on joining the discussion.
Please note that no refunds will be issued.
