The most consequential M&A decisions are rarely obvious—and they rarely begin in the deal room.?
Leaders must continually make choices about where their companies should compete, which capabilities they need, where capital and attention should be deployed, and which businesses no longer belong in the portfolio. An acquisition, divestiture, or partnership may be the answer, but each represents a different bet on the company’s future.?
The Conference Board M&A Summit brings together senior executives responsible for making those choices—and living with their consequences.?
The Summit covers the full lifecycle of M&A and related portfolio decisions, from setting strategy and evaluating alternatives to structuring and executing transactions, integrating or separating businesses, and assessing long-term results?

The full-day agenda and speakers will be announced soon.
