Dear AEC leaders and decision makers,
Welcome to Zweig Group’s M&A Next Symposium!
We are so glad you are joining us for this important event. Building on the success of our first M&A Next Symposium, this year’s agenda and topics are truly going to capture the “Next” part of the program design, as we have all had to develop and adapt quickly to a rapidly evolving deal-making climate. The last two years of AEC merger and acquisition activity have truly reinvented the transaction playbook. Everything from deal pacing to valuations to deal structuring has changed, not to mention the specific value drivers that buyers and sellers are highlighting in their target strategy development. With a record number of M&A transactions closing within the AEC industry last year, and an outlook that projects an even higher transaction volume in 2022, all parties involved in deal- making have to be fluent in the changes, as well as grounded in their fundamentals in order to be competitive and take advantage of the market conditions.
The next few days will be filled with lots of valuable information, important industry connections, and hopefully some new opportunities.
Sincerely,
Jamie Claire Kiser, Managing Principal and Director of Advisory Services
