LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aviation Week Network today announced the Aviation Week A&D Mergers & Acquisitions Conference.  The event, produced in partnership with Lazard, will be held November 6, 2019 at the Four Seasons Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, California.  For information about registering, contact Joanna Speed at jspeed@speednews.com

With the ongoing consolidation in aerospace and defense, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become a critical tool for establishing and maintaining competitive advantage in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry. This one-day event will focus on the latest trends in commercial aviation and defense and how they will shape the outlook for mergers and acquisitions in the 12-24 months ahead. 

“A&D industry CEOs, strategy consultants, investment gurus and diligence advisors all agree – this is the busiest buying and selling frenzy many have witnessed in their careers.  But what are the current and future implications, and how long will this robust deal-making climate last?” said Joanna Speed, Managing Director, A&D and SpeedNews Conferences.  “The conference will address these issues by delivering our unparalleled market intelligence and insight to representatives at all levels of A&D, from small companies to OEMs, private equity investors and government officials.”

“In the current strong environment for A&D transactions, both buyers and sellers need to have a clear understanding of the marketplace’s rapidly shifting dynamics,” Michael Richter, Managing Director and Global Head of the Aerospace & Defense Group. “We are pleased to contribute our deep global A&D sector knowledge and M&A expertise to the Aviation Week A&D Mergers & Acquisitions Conference.”

The event’s agenda will address challenges such as industry disruptors and market conditions that could affect future deal-making, new M&A tactics, regulatory challenges, and cyber threats.  Expert panelists from the ranks of active dealmakers and leading advisors will provide an insider’s perspective.

Sponsors for the Conference also include CSP Associates, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and Alderman & Company.
