Webinar: Tech M&A trends, valuations and more

Contact: Brenon Daly

For those of you not too busy trading freshly printed Twitter shares on Thursday, we invite you to join 451 Research and Morrison & Foerster for a webinar on the results of our semiannual M&A Leaders’ Survey. (451 Research clients can access our full report on the survey.) The webinar will be held at 10:00am PST (1:00pm EST), and you can register here.

Among other topics, we’ll be discussing both the near-term and longer-range M&A plans for many of the tech market’s top dealmakers. (For instance, we have views on whether or not we’ll see another boom in tech M&A – and what it would take to get there.) Additionally, Morrison & Foerster’s Co-Chair of Global M&A Practice, Rob Townsend, will offer insight from our survey topics around the growing trend of ‘acq-hires’ and, more broadly, HR issues that can come up in M&A.

And finally, going back to IPOs, we’ll have the forecast from our senior dealmakers about whether or not they expect to have to outbid the public market for the companies they want to buy over the next year. (Hint: The IPO market has never been more competitive, in their view.) Again, we’d love to have you join us tomorrow for what promises to be an insightful and useful webinar, which you can register for here.
