For over a decade ‘Euromoney Seminars’ ‘Syndicated Loans Conference’ has been the most dynamic forum for the loans industry in Europe. With the global financial markets at their most unstable and erratic the event in 2009 is sure to be the most insightful to date.
In recent months, ever more unpredictable financial market conditions have prompted a changing list of priorities for professionals involved in syndicated lending; a market which, until recently, was considered immune to the turmoil sweeping through the global capital markets. Strategies to minimise risk (credit, underwriting, refinancing and currency risk among others) are top of the agenda and in a continually changing financial landscape, no one can afford to miss ‘The 11th Annual Syndicated Loans Conference’.
The conference will attract the most senior representatives from lenders, F.I and corporate borrowers, private equity representatives, investors, risk analysts and legal experts to their views on the most pertinent issues impacting the industry including:
· Evolution of strategies in sourcing liquidity and the role of central bank funding
· Pan European perspectives on the European economy and the impact on the syndicated loan market
· Annual Head of Syndication Round Table
· Seconds out – The next round of refinancing
· Restructuring & workouts: How is the syndicated loan fairing in the credit crunch?
· Treasury operations and corporate funding: How can the bank – borrower interface help facilitate market recovery?
· Loans in a wider context
· What’s next in the life of leverage?
· Changing role and strategy of private equity in the face of a credit drought
· Plus, new for 2009, separately bookable post conference masterclass: Managing Complex Creditor Relations in the Event of a Restructuring
