Hi there,

An IPO makes headlines the day a company hits the trading floor, but the work behind it starts months, sometimes years, earlier.

Join The Information and the New York Stock Exchange for The Long Road to an IPO, a panel discussion on what it takes to prepare a company to go public. We’ll discuss the relationships, trust and preparation companies need to build with advisers, investors and exchange executives, as well as the decisions founders and executives face along the way. The panel discussion will be followed by a cocktail reception.

On stage:

  • Kate Claassen, Chairman of Global Internet Banking, Morgan Stanley
  • Crystal Shen, Head of West Coast Capital Markets, New York Stock Exchange
  • Moderated by Dakin Campbell, Reporter, The Information

Date: November 10, 2026
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location: The Howard, 661 Howard St., San Francisco

The event is designed for decision-makers preparing their companies for an IPO in the next 18–24 months.


We hope to see you there.
