Pillsbury is proud to sponsor Mergermarket’s M&A Forum and its opening “Dealmaker Outlook” panel.

North American M&A continued its downward slide in the second quarter as the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes to curb inflation and the rising prospect of recession kept dealmakers on the sidelines. Private equity has plenty of dry powder, and many strategics have built strong balance sheets, promising fascinating battles for the new wave of opportunities that lie ahead. This panel of leading dealmakers will discuss the current trends, top transactions and deal flow in the year ahead.

  • Will the changing macro environment halt the M&A market or create new opportunities?
  • What are the current trends in North American M&A, and where are the deals coming from?
  • Which are the next big sectors, and how should investors approach these opportunities?
  • Who will win the next phase of the perennial battle between corporate and financial acquirers?
