Venture lawyer Gary Benton will lead a panel of four leading experts who will provide an assessment of the international competition for IPOs, including discussion on the pros and cons of listing on NASDAQ, London/AIM, and the Asian stock exchanges.  The panelists will share their experience on taking technology companies public in the US and abroad, including discussion of valuations, fundraisings, market liquidity, exit opportunities, listing requirements, corporate governance, SOX compliance, post-IPO M&A and dual listings, and practical advice on selecting a stock exchange and preparing for an IPO.  This will be a valuable program for venture capital investors and senior level executives of later stage companies considering funding and IPO opportunities in the US or abroad.
