High Yield Municipal Bond Conference 2026 took place October 19–21, 2026 at Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

High Yield Municipal Bond Conference 2026 was held at Hyatt Regency Greenwich in Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

The organizer listed high-yield municipal bond investors, issuers, and market professionals, including broker/dealers, underwriters, banks, advisors, and rating agencies.

It is most useful for high-yield muni investors, analysts, underwriters and credit specialists, since the panels were scheduled to cover charter school and higher-education distress, Brightline and Puerto Rico, and speakers were billed as coming from HilltopSecurities, Morgan Stanley Investment Management and ORIX. Generalist fixed-income investors or issuers of investment-grade debt would get less from such a niche program, and the $1,550 standard rate was steep for smaller firms, though the $850 investor rate lowered the cost for buy-side attendees.

Attendees at municipal bond and finance conferences usually wear business attire, with suits or jackets common and ties often optional, including at the Monday evening gathering.
