3rd Annual Private Equity Conference
Please join us for the Third Annual Private Equity Conference!
About the Program:
Equity and debt markets that have been substantially frozen since the fall of 2008 have begun to thaw. Valuations across asset classes have stabilized and started to rise. New funds are being raised and financial and strategic buyers are becoming more active again. Private equity deals may have changed shape from earlier years, but they are helping to drive the investment markets again.
Join your colleagues and the West's dealmakers - private equity executives, LPs, investment bankers, financial professionals and corporate dealmakers - to hear a wide-ranging interdisciplinary discussion of these and other topics. Register Today!
Learn More About:
Sectors - What industries are doing best, where are distressed deals still possible, what's hot/what's not?
Financing - How are deals being funded and how do you make deals work with less leverage? How can you use historically low rates?
Valuations - How are prices being negotiated and what to do when buyer and seller are at an impasse?
Funds - How are new funds being structured and what protective features are LPs demanding in the new climate?
After Reform - After Dodd-Frank, what are the new opportunities for private equity funds?
What's Next - After the midterm elections, what new taxes or regulatory developments can you expect?
