While the markets continue to suffer, the relevance and importance of debt investors continues to grow.

It is in this setting that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2009 Leadership in the Distressed Markets event, which will take place in Manhattan. The forum will bring together approximately 135–150 senior members of the distressed, workout and bankruptcy deal community, CEOs & Board members of public and private large cap and mid cap corporations, complementary areas of executive leadership (CFOs & COOs), institutional investors, select advisory firms, and select founders/senior managing partners of private investment firms.  The forum will address a number of topics including, but not limited to: an examination of distressed investing and fundamental short-selling, the outlook on LBOs, the opportunities and challenges that exist in the distressed market and an analysis of the anatomy of a deal.

 Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. This event is by invitation only, and an invitation code is required. If you did not receive an invitation but would like to inquire about attendance, please click here
