London Acquisition Entrepreneurs Summit

Thursday 3 September ยท 17:00 · Howard Kennedy offices, London Bridge, London

An informative evening built around two panels: operators on their first 100 days as CEO after an acquisition, and the different paths into acquisition entrepreneurship โ€” from self-funded search to roll-ups and long-term holdcos. Food and drinks throughout, with plenty of time to meet fellow searchers, investors, and operators.
