2:00pm – 3:00pm – Registration / Networking
3:00pm – 4:00pm – Keynote Speaker
4:00pm – 5:30pm – DealMakers Panel
As the year begins, the market continues to feel the effects of last year's sub-prime-driven credit crunch. The flow of large deals has slowed dramatically, and global economic activity seems to be slowing. For insight into this fast-changing marketplace and the risks and opportunities it presents, leaders in the deal community who will share their perspectives on topics including:
- What's ahead for the middle market?
- Will strategic acquirers dominate deal activity this year – or is it too soon to count private equity firms out?
- Are big deals dead or just on life support?
- Will a recession take hold – or will the economy come roaring back?
