SUMMARY:14th Annual Funding\, Exits and IPO's 2025 
DESCRIPTION:After two years of subdued activity the 2024 IPO market witnessed a gradual revival with 50% more IPOs in 2024 than in the prior year. And while Financials and Healthcare accounted for approximately 50% of those\, the two best performing IPOs of the year were technology companies\, Reddit and Astera Labs. \nWith a change of administration\, favorable policies\, relative economic stability and industry momentum 2025 looks like it should be a better year than 2024. And it seems that there is a backlog of both private equity sponsored companies as well as the usual Venture Capital funded companies seeking exit opportunities this year. Will tech IPOs pick up the pace in 2025? \nWhich tech companies appear most likely to go public this year? We know CoreWeave\, backed by Nvidia is planning a substantial public offering in 2025. SymphonyAI just added a seasoned CFO to their team who has taken multiple companies public. Stripe has been a hot contender to IPO for the past few years but will it be beaten to it by Klarna or Revolut? HingeHealth has signalled that it will go public this year. Will this inspire other health and biotech companies to do the same? \nJoin us for an evening of lively\, engaging and fun discussions and hear more about how things might work out for the technology community in 2025 and get a chance to ask questions our panel of Venture Capitalists. We will see how accurate their 2024 forecasts were and will see what their predictions are for 2025.

SUMMARY:Sustaining Infrastructure: Navigating the Evolving Aviation Ecosystem 
DESCRIPTION:Global aviation has made a swift recovery\, returning to pre-pandemic levels\, with air travel demand expected to double by 2040\, growing at an average annual rate of 4%. While this growth presents significant opportunities for profitability\, it also requires substantial investments in infrastructure\, workforce\, and technology. To ensure smooth integration across various modes of transportation—air\, rail\, buses\, taxis—and the necessary business support\, coordinated efforts are essential. \nWhile the aviation industry continues to focus on its top priority of decarbonization\, airlines are also electrifying their fleet of ground vehicles and airport authorities are building and retrofitting to make buildings more sustainable. This ecosystem also needs to consider national security and the impact of digitalization and risks of cyber attacks. \nJoin BAB’s experts and industry leaders for a roundtable lunch to explore the evolving infrastructure needs of the aviation industry and strategies businesses can adopt to support a fully integrated hub\, while mitigating internal and external risks.
