Public offerings on the stock market are complex exercises. They require months of preparation by skilled teams of commercial, financial and legal experts. The IPO Seminar is for company owners and executives seeking to take advantage of greater access to capital, enhancing their company profile and utilizing an opportunity to leverage their valuation. The Seminar will allow companies to meet key players who plan the IPO placement.

The Seminar will cover the criteria for selecting companies to go public, the action plan, and roadmap for all involved parties using the most recent successful IPOs on the African markets and running a successful public company. The IPO Seminar will provide attendees with a checklist of resources and requirements to help jump-start the IPO process and highlight necessary precautions.

Invite your clients and stakeholders to this illuminating morning and have an opportunity to put your question to the panel.
