12:00 Lunch 
12:30 Featured panel: Value-Creation Opportunities in Dealmaking in an Unpredictable Economic Environment
 

The economic outlook for 2023 and beyond is uncertain with the impacts of both inflation and recession hard to predict. Whether buying or selling, dealmakers need to be alert to every opportunity to create and articulate value. Join three ACG communities - Strategic Acquirers, Private Equity Operating Partners, and PE-Backed Executives as well as go-to-market experts from fractional CMO firm Chief Outsiders for an interactive discussion of marketing strategies for value-creation. This session will address the following topics as well as your related questions:

  • A market-based approach to assessing growth opportunities pre-deal
  • Pricing strategies that go beyond cost-plus
  • Evaluating and projecting margins in an inflationary / recessionary environment
  • The importance of segmentation
  • Matching demand generation to operating capabilities
  • Building a scalable growth engine
  • Strategic go-to-market differences for sectors such as consumer, industrial, business services, technology, and others

Meet our featured speakers, representating an excellent cross section of industries and experience.
