"After a year of rapid-fire political and economic developments,
The Deal Economy Event offers a venue for dealmakers and advisers
to take stock of where we've been, and – more important – chart
where we're going," said Michael
Crosby, President of The Deal. "The terrain for mergers and
acquisitions is shifting dramatically in both the U.S. and
Europe, while Asia continues to offer a difficult mix of
opportunity tinged with risk. We're convening at a critical time
and the discussions will cover a myriad pressing issues."
Sessions will include the following:
- "Sense of the Markets: Outlook for the Global Capital Markets
and Transactional Activity": A discussion of how seismic events,
like the Brexit vote, will alter the dealmaking environment around
the world.
- "Beyond the Election: Regulatory Outlook for Corporate America
and Wall Street": A forum for an exchange of ideas about how the
new administration and Congress might alter the legal and
regulatory framework for mergers and acquisitions.
- "Private Equity: Industries for Global Growth Investors in
2017": Participants will identify the sectors that hold out the
greatest prospects for gains over the next 12 months.
As always, TheStreet.com founder Jim
Cramer will offer his unique perspective on M&A.

Bauer, Berry Plastics Corporation; Marc Brown, Microsoft Corp.; William M. Casey, EY; Chip Chaikin, Blue Point Capital Partners;
