Southeastern Private Equity Summit 2007 June 26, 2007

Prepare to Meet Upcoming Challenges

Private equity funds have the financial expertise and ability to handle complex transactions that can give them an edge over strategic buyers. In a “perfect storm” of increasingly onerous disclosure requirements for public companies, shareholder demands for earnings, and increased potential liability for directors, public companies and new start ups alike will continue to turn to the private market to fund their growth or exit strategies.

Presented by the same experts who brought you the leading annual Southeastern M&A Forum, this is one private equity conference you should not miss. An action-packed day of panel discussions with industry leaders is planned to equip you with the latest investment strategies and prepare you to face the challenges affecting deals going forward.
