Market analysts are predicting that 2010 will be the busiest year ever for municipal new-issue volume.  Why is the market surging and how are broker-dealers and other participants reacting?  How are incumbent broker-dealers, and growing upstarts reacting to the opportunities posed by consolidation and retrenchment by some Wall Street firms?  What will that mean for issuers and investors in 2010 and beyond?  We’ve convened a panel of leading professionals from all sectors of the marketplace to share their approaches and share predictions for what’s next.
