Mergers and acquisitions are powerful tools for growth—but they also carry risk, complexity, and organisational impact. This event provides leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers with a strategic, practical understanding of how to identify acquisition opportunities, evaluate the rationale behind them, and execute deals successfully.

By the end of the event, participants will understand:

• How to identify acquisition opportunities
• What strong acquisition planning looks like
• How to assess targets financially, operationally, and culturally
• Learn a structured planning framework for analysing targets and preparing internally.
• Explore the execution phase: due diligence, negotiation, integration, and post-deal value creation

As part of our business model, we have partners from the professional service sector (lawyers, accountants, recruiters, insurance, wealth management), who pay to have exclusivity in our group.

So unfortunately, as we already have partners in these sectors, if you are in the professional service sector, you will not be able to attend our events going forward.
