18th Private Equity Summit

Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- The global recession brought about unprecedented times in the private equity industry. Deal-making hit an all-time low and fund raising presented greater obstacles than ever. However, after a few years the industry would rather forget, private equity has started down the road to recovery and progress continues today, unabated. The ability to make new deals and raise capital has seen vast improvement and private equity is redefining itself in the new financial and regulatory environment.

However, in the current landscape, the business and legal sides of the market are colliding like never before. Deal-makers must uncover where new opportunities are coming from, and how to deal with investors’ changing demands, while attorneys are searching for the best compliance programs to deal with the new regulations facing the market. Additionally, with lots of unspent capital lying around, private equity fund managers find themselves facing a much more competitive market.

As a result, American Conference Institute is proud to bring you its 18th Private Equity Summit, which will assemble the most influential fund managers, attorneys, deal facilitators and service providers in the industry to take part in market defining discussions on issues such as:

   * The new dynamic of LP/GP relationships and best practices in aligning interests
   * What registration, SEC oversight and the other provisions of Dodd-Frank mean to the private equity world
   * Ideas for putting dry powder to work and maximizing managerial fees
   * Best practices for managing portfolio companies in distress with a focus on the fiduciary responsibilities of equity investors
   * Identifying promising investment companies still at recessionary prices
   * The effect of the Volcker rule on banks as both investors and investments
   * Investment opportunities in infrastructure
   * Identifying profitable exit strategies, with a look at secondary sales and IPOs

…and so much more

With 2010’s year end data at their finger tips, the best and the brightest will come together to shape the strategies that will lead the industry in 2011. Take advantage of this opportunity to network with industry leaders and learn from others facing the same challenges in this turbulent environment.
