Description

This panel of savvy buyers and sellers will offer provocative views on such issues as:
• Is this the ideal stage in the economic and technology cycle to be an aggressive buyer?
• Despite tough competitors, how do leaders get the deals they really want?
• Which tech sectors are hot? Which ones are not? Why?
• M&A and investing in technology is now clearly global. How does this challenge the acquisition efforts of these buyers and the investing process of a top tier VC?
• Do the recent broad stock market gains and modest signs of life in the IPO market change anything for buyers and investors? How do you see equity and IPO markets in 2010 affecting your M&A programs and investors willingness to sell vs. go public?
• Are VC investors a help or hindrance to getting a great M&A outcome?
