SOLIDIFY YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Join The Funding Strategies Conference’s next roundtable discussion, 2024: The Year of M&A. In this panel our experts will discuss the post-pandemic market shift and delve into the projected increase in M&A activities for 2024. We’ll explore the markets where we expect to see movement and the trends driving corporate consolidations. As the financial markets stabilize, we see a strong upward correlation with M&A activity.
Since 2021, The Funding Strategies Conference has been a trusted resource by business leaders to gain financial and funding insight. Our viewers benefit from those in the know.
Whether you work for a small business, medium-size venture, or a large company, the information discussed at the Funding Strategies Conference is designed to be useful and relevant as you plan your company’s path to financial success.
Our panels are comprised of industry experts from major lending institutions, including banks, SBA specialists, alternative lenders, venture capital, as well as angel and private equity investors. The Funding Strategies conference brings together lending experts so you can learn from their insight and tips.
The Funding Strategies Conference hosts a panel of industry experts to address what we expect to be a significant increase in M&A activities in the new year. This is projected in part to the S&P 500 Index, which ended 2023 with record highs. Finance markets are improving, and this correlates strongly with M&A activity. Smaller businesses will be seeking to scale, which leads to more partnerships and acquisitions.
