Dear ABI New York City Bankruptcy Conference Attendees:

It is with great sadness that I must announce that ABI is canceling its annual New York City Bankruptcy Conference, which was to be held May 28 in New York City.

We understand the significance of this gathering and are currently exploring options to reschedule the Conference for later in the year. We will be sending more information in the next few days about the process for requesting a refund for those who would like to do so.

We extend a special thank you to our co-chairs, Hon. Sean H. Lane, Sandeep Qusba (Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP) and Leon Szlezinger (Jefferies), and the entire program advisory board for their hard work on this year's program and their support during this difficult time.

CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS: ABI's offices are on mandatory remote work through the end of April, but the entire staff is available to assist you as always. You can reach us by phone at 703-739-0800 or by email at [email protected].

We hope that each of you and your families, friends and colleagues remain healthy and safe. And as always, thank you for your support of ABI.

ABI’s Complex Financial Restructuring Program is back! With a timely case study and expert faculty, this year’s program is one you can’t afford to miss.

This program offers a unique approach to understanding the role of investment bankers and financial advisors in insolvency and restructuring. Through a case study format, faculty members play the role of major constituents and dramatize the various perspectives of parties-in-interest. Each session will provide insight, practical advice and proposed solutions on how to make a turnaround successful.

BONUS! Program participants will combine with VALCON 2020 attendees for a final workshop-style session on the day’s case study and a networking reception. Plus, CFRP attendees who wish to also attend VALCON 2020 can save with a special rate that includes both programs!

Competition, consolidation and collaboration in the health care industry is fostering disruption and innovation in the delivery of health care services. This disruption and innovation inevitably leads to opportunities for investors, lenders and professionals who can make sense of the chaos. It’s time to get smart: This day-long conference dives into today’s cutting-edge issues relating to the delivery of health care, private equity’s takeover of the industry, the rationing of health care services and reimbursements, and more. Conference attendees will take away a detailed understanding of the key issues that will plague the health care industry in the coming years, helping them identify opportunities within this ever-changing landscape.

ABI supports Puerto Rico, and looks forward to the upcoming Caribbean Insolvency Symposium at the El San Juan Hotel, February 3-5, 2020.

From the time that Hurricane Maria devastated the island in September 2017 — when the ABI Endowment Fund joined with the Mariano Rivera Foundation to raise desperately needed funds to help rebuild infrastructure — through the recent series of earthquakes that damaged Guánica, some two hours to the southwest of San Juan, ABI has remained committed to supporting its many friends and members on the island, as well as the wider Puerto Rico community affected by these natural disasters.

The Caribbean Insolvency Symposium will go on as planned and registration remains open and active. At a time when Puerto Rico faces many challenges, among them a fragile economic situation, one of the best ways to support the island is through events like our upcoming Symposium. They are vital to Puerto Rico’s recovery and future.

We look forward to offering attendees presentations on three tracks — for business and consumer practitioners and financial advisors — all while experiencing everything that Puerto Rico has to offer, from historic San Juan to idyllic Isla Verde Beach.

Bienvenido a Puerto Rico! Escape the winter blues and join ABI at the El San Juan Hotel, nestled between downtown San Juan and beautiful Isla Verde Beach, for this stellar educational program, designed to provide attendees with an interactive learning experience focused on insolvency issues in the Caribbean and beyond. A faculty of prominent bankruptcy judges and experienced practitioners will ensure a top-notch learning experience and ample networking opportunities, all in a beautiful setting. Up to 12.6/12.5 hours of CLE/CPE credit, including up to 1.8/1.5 hours of ethics, are available.
