PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iiBIG is holding the 2012 Investment and M&A Opportunities in Energy Conference, December 6, 2012 in Houston, Texas.
Most experts agree that energy development – from both traditional and alternative sources – will remain highly profitable in both the short- and long-term, resulting in increased M&A activity in 2013 and beyond. Moreover, when we meet in Houston for this year's conference the results of the November elections will be known and – and regardless of the outcome – the future will be more clear about where the best opportunities will exist for M&A activity in the energy sector.
Our executive speaking faculty for this conference – representing energy entrepreneurs, suppliers, investors & deal-makers – will discuss the current status of M&A in the energy industry and provide insight on where it is heading on both a national and international level.
A solid cross section of experts will share insights on where this sector is – and where it is going – in terms of investment and growth opportunities. Experienced executives will share innovative financing mechanisms and provide lessons learned from recent transactions, review the basics of due diligence issues that are unique to this sector, and provide expert intelligence on cross-border transaction opportunities.
Key issues to be addressed include:
-
State of the Industry: Which Sectors Will Lead the Pack in Terms of Deal-Making: Oil & Gas? Natural Resources? Renewable Resources?
-
Strategic Investor Roundtable: Who Will be Leading the Deal-Making Pace: Strategic or Financial Buyers? Hear from Both Private Equity and Other Financial Buyers, as well as From Firms Seeking to Grow Through Strategic Acquisitions
-
