3 TRACKS, 1 UNIQUE DIGITAL EVENT
JOIN OUR PANEL DEBATE
We kick off the afternoon conference with a panel debate on how COVID-19 is affecting deal-making. Since the summer, M&A volume has started to recover from the full lockdown in the second quarter of the year – but significant changes in M&A motives, transaction processes and deal structures could be observed. The panel will discuss these effects from various angles and shed light on the anticipated long-term impact of the pandemic.
