Westwicke Partners hosts events designed to educate the senior managements of both private and public companies on the equity markets. Our most recent event, held February 2, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto, was a Health Care IPO Boot Camp consisting of a series of panel discussions highlighting the IPO process. The boot camp provided unique and insightful perspectives from public company CEOs and CFOs, sell-side analysts, buy-side analysts and portfolio managers, as well as investment banking professionals.
We anticipate hosting similar events in the future on both the East and the West Coast.
