AC18 offers 4 days of in–depth educational sessions including two all–day seminars and 18 presentations on the latest issues and trends in Bankruptcy and Restructuring.
In addition to its outstanding educational program, AC18 offers a dynamic context to enjoy other benefits of the conference and its setting! Participants can connect with peers and make new contacts via many networking opportunities and 5 optional excursions showcasing the best of AC18’s exciting backdrop, Nashville, Tennessee.
Nashville’s history, diversity, ingenuity and prominence as Music city have propelled it to superstar status. In musical terms, the city has gone double–platinum. At the heart of Nashville’s popularity is the city’s willingness to march to its own tune. It’s a place where haute cuisine and down–home cooking are equally lauded, where urban offerings meet Southern charm, and where the craft of songwriting is as revered as the superstars who bring the music to life.
