11:20 AM Truth or Hype Interactive Keynote - Predict, Pivot, or Pass: The Munis Future Game

What’s shaping the next decade of municipal finance - and what’s just noise? In this fast-paced, future-facing session, our speakers tackle a series of bold predictions about the muni bond market, from the impact of federal fiscal policy and demographic shifts to the rise of AI-driven credit surveillance, the outlook for retail demand and SMAs, and the future of tax-exempt issuance in a changing rate environment.

Each statement is revealed live for audience voting - “True,” “False,” or “Too Soon to Tell” - before our experts weigh in with data, context, and sharp storytelling on what’s really driving market transformation. Will ESG-linked issuance rebound? Could municipal defaults rise in the next cycle? Will technology finally make muni trading efficient? Come ready to vote, debate, and rethink what you thought you knew about the muni market.
