Convergence 2008-
M&A Summit in the Hamptons
June 16-17

The mergers and acquisition industry has just completed a four-year stretch of historic profitability, transforming the global economy with $14+ trillion in deals. Despite recent debt-market squeeze, established dealmakers and newcomers alike are intent on keeping the deal flow going. This means adapting to and anticipating changing market conditions. New rules prevail: big funds chase smaller deals, local players go global, overseas sellers become buyers, outsiders become insiders. Age-old distinctions between public and private sectors crumble. 

The new buzzword: Convergence

Be part of the action as top dealmakers and business visionaries go “Big Picture” in one of the world’s foremost oceanfront resort communities.

From June 16-17 a cross-section of the nation’s top deal-makers, industry insiders and influential thought-leaders convene to explore M&A’s present and future in the fertile, creative and collaborative environment favored by generations of artists, writers and empire builders.

Amidst the casual elegance and iconic seaside beauty for which Southampton is known, participants will exchange insights, forge lasting connections and explore how shifting economic, demographic and political realities shape how deals get done.
