M&A MID-MARKET FORUM

To date, nine M&A Mid-Market Forums have been held on an annual basis in leading cities across Europe.

The concept of the M&A Mid-Market Forum arose from the fact that merger and acquisition professionals want to meet a range of peers to discuss doing business around the world. The last Forum, held in Stockholm, attracted over 220 M&A professionals from more than 40 countries despite travel difficulties due to the eruption of the volcano in Iceland.

"During the Gala Dinner at the Dublin M&A Mid-Market Forum, I sat between a specialist from Belgium and one from China — in both cases we were able to discuss situations and companies of direct relevance to my businesses; the strength of the event is meeting local advisors from all parts of the globe.”

"I was impressed by the depth of knowledge of all the M&A professionals with whom I had the pleasure of ‘speed dating’.”

The high level of interaction between M&A professionals at each event has been remarkable. At the first Forum held in Rome in 2001, over 400 private meetings were held. Subsequent Forums have grown each year, with attendees from Barcelona to Boston and Sydney to Stockholm.
