The Deal Economy 2010
When: November 18 & 19, 2009 Over past decades, corporate and financial dealmakers have weathered difficult cycles only to emerge stronger once the storm has past. But this time, the economic challenges confronting investors are unlike any other era. Uncertainty is the new normal. Once this downturn has played itself out, all agree a very different deal-making world awaits us. Massive government bailouts and interventions in financial markets worldwide have levied major changes on Wall Street, but, so far, have provided limited stimuli to deal activity. Frozen credit markets have all but smothered any private equity deals, forcing the buyout industry to search for new models and approaches to generate returns. Cash-rich strategics are on the prowl but in many cases, remain reluctant to pounce. As the distressed cycle ticks up, businesses, assets and debt have kept opportunistic dealmakers with an appetite for risk active and in the spotlight. Over the course of The Deal's annual two-day outlook forecasting conference, respected corporate dealmakers, alternative investors and leading advisers and intermediaries to transactions will discuss and debate the new deal-making landscape and prospects for deal opportunities in 2010. Join us and them in New York for unrivalled perspective to help you plan.
