Is your board ready for the next wave of M&A?

After a cautious few years, deal activity is rebounding and boards must be prepared to ask sharper questions, oversee complex integrations, and align with shifting market signals. This NACD Philadelphia event will bring together the top voices in the M&A space and the perfect mix of perspectives:

  • A McKinsey M&A partner to frame the latest trends and data

  • A public company director sharing hard-earned lessons from the boardroom

  • A corporate dealmaker navigating M&A strategy in real time

  • A partner from an accounting firm that just completed its own merger

Moderated by Daria Torres, an independent director and experienced business strategist, this session will provide insight into what is driving the M&A cycle, what boards should be watching for, and how to build readiness for decisions that may come quickly.

Expect sharp insights, well-informed candor, and plenty of time for questions.
