Celebrating its 30th annual, the Power and Gas M&A Symposium continues to be the pre-eminent executive industry conference. Bringing utilities and Wall Street together, this executive conference has become the de facto opening bell for the M&A season. 2016 has been an active year, shaped by high valuations, regulatory scrutiny, and a bit of a paradigm shift in how executives view potential targets. As companies struggle with earnings pressure, decision-makers are weighing both opportunities and obstacles. Whether you are anticipating a growth strategy or are an acquisition target, this event is for you.
Each year the industry experts are gathered to provide key insights into the market. Backed by data and analytics you won't find at other events, you will receive essential intelligence necessary to make informed decisions. Past attendees praise the event for providing relevant, timely and usable intelligence delivered by high quality speakers. While the content is unparalleled, this executive conference also provides ample time to network with executives from across the industry, and across the country.
