About the Event

AI is giving M&A deal teams capabilities they didn't have before.

This is raising critical questions about the new M&A operating model.

  • What does the next generation of M&A deal process and due diligence actually look like when humans and machines work side by side?

  • What can — or should — deal teams handle in-house, and what still belongs with advisors?

  • Who bears the risk in a world where AI is doing more of the work?

  • And what role can insurance play?

This event brings together deal teams, M&A technologists, advisors and insurance professionals to explore how AI is changing the role of humans, machines and insurance in M&A.

It is an invitation-only breakfast and networking session for deal team members and in-house counsel working in private equity and in-house M&A teams.
