The Private Company Stock Conference 2010
Decreased activity in the IPO and M&A markets over the last several years has left many private company stakeholders without a path to liquidity. This demand for liquidity has created a growing secondary market for private company stock.
While the emergence of a market for private company stock is welcomed, it comes with a host of legal, investment and tax considerations. These issues are explored at The Private Company Stock Conference taking place September 27, 2010 in Palo Alto, California.
