Dealmaking in Consumer Brands & Products

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

OVERVIEW:

This conference will explore M&A and private equity activity in consumer brands and products. Activity is running at record levels.  Deals are being driven by consolidation, shifting consumer preferences and habits, and the continued favorable markets. ACG and BDA Partners have assembled industry-leading operators, investors, and bankers to examine what determines success in the sector. What criteria are investors and operators using to make investment decisions in this dynamic, competitive space?

KEY TOPICS:

  • What ultimately drives brand growth in the increasingly frantic, ever-changing consumer environment?
  • What strategies and metrics are used by private equity and corporate players to create and realize value?
  • What is the outlook in the consumer arena today: valuation, market participants, most active categories, and debt leverage?
