The only thing that stays the same is change -- and that holds especially true for Wall Street. Buffeted by economic and regulatory head winds stirred up by the financial crisis, the banking industry is having to adapt....and fast. The profit motive remains paramount, but the path to that prize is evolving. But how? Which businesses, both traditional and new, promise most opportunity? How will the role of M&A advisory continue to shift? What structural changes will the investment banking industry and its institutions have to undertake in order to survive? Above all, what does it mean for the deal making professionals?

We'll focus on how financial firms are restructuring and modifying their strategies in response to the new marketplace. After just 60 minutes, you'll have a refreshed perspective on the possible directions the investment banking industry will take and be better placed to plot the course for you and your business.
