The 2024 Workshop will be a hybrid event, with in-person attendance at the Austin Proper Hotel and a livestream option. The in-person option represents an excellent opportunity for attendees to interact and socialize with other attendees, industry professionals, and the BLX and Orrick team. In addition, through the livestream option, we will make available all content on a virtual platform with the ability for participants to interact with the presenters and other attendees throughout the workshop.

Both the in-person and livestream options will allow participants to replay any of the recorded sessions for up to 30 days after the event.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Workshop offers timely discussions of topics related to post-issuance compliance for the public finance and 501(c)(3) communities who borrow on a tax-exempt basis. With open forums allowing for attendee participation, BLX and Orrick professionals will lead the program with curated and insightful content to assist participants with understanding the IRS and SEC regulations and requirements relating to tax-exempt debt. The sessions encourage audience participation and address questions from participants relating to real life situations. The BLX and Orrick team strives to make the discussion of tedious tax laws understandable and relatable.
