Forbes M&A Conference

April 26, 2007 8:00 - 3:00 ET
From Forbes

Getting the most from a merger or acquisition is not a simple task. You’ve got to be able to identify and value synergies, make sure you don’t over pay, do really great due diligence, address culture clashes before they happen, and start planning for Day One at the beginning of the deal, rather than waiting until it closes. If done right, M&A is an important strategic tool that can create significant value, but it’s not easy. What’s the difference between a good deal and a bad one? Knowing the answer can help your company avoid the pitfalls and reap substantial rewards. What do you need to know to mitigate the risks?

We’ll look at what works, and what doesn’t. We’ll hear from experts who’ve built M&A machines in their organizations and made inorganic growth a true core competency. We’ll examine the drivers of success in cross-border M&A, and the unique mix of opportunities and challenges inherent in gaining entrée into the BRIC countries. We’ll hear from a CEO with a great M&A track record of innovation and growth and we’ll explore the role of private equity in transforming M&A. Finally, Steve Forbes will give his eagerly anticipated annual economic forecast. We hope you’ll join us at the New York Stock Exchange for an in-depth look at leading-edge M&A strategy and execution.
