Join us in Orange County

Some big names in the world of public companies have agreed to share their insights at two fall conferences at which PondelWilkinson is among the sponsors: UCI’s Audit Committee 2015 Summit and the Orange County Public Company Forum.

UCI Audit Committee Summit 2015, October 23

James Schnurr, SEC Chief Accountant, will be flying in from Washington, D.C. to discuss the confluence of significant changes being contemplated or enacted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies that significantly impact audit committee responsibilities. Following Schnurr’s keynote address will be two interactive panel discussions.

The event will take place Friday, October 23, 8 a.m. to noon, at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach, 4110 MacArthur Boulevard. To register, visit merage.uci.edu/RegisterEvent/2015Audit.

Orange County Public Company Forum, November 18

David E. I. Pyott, former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Allergan, will provide his insight into the world of M&A, gained in part, from one of the highest profile M&A deals of the year, when Actavis acquired Allergan, and then changed its corporate name to Allergan. Pyott’s keynote address will be followed by an expert panel from all walks of the M&A spectrum.

The Forum will take place Wednesday, November 18, 7:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel, 686 Anton Boulevard, in Costa Mesa. To register, please follow this link.
