The two-day event culminates with the presentation during lunch Wednesday of The Deal's Most Admired Corporate Dealmaker Awards. The winners were selected by members of the deal community who filled out surveys aimed at identifying corporations that have been exceptional dealmakers in their respective industries of information technology, industrials and healthcare.
