The current downturned economy has caused an extreme drop in the amount of mergers and acquisitions activity this year.  The healthcare sector has not been spared as it has experienced a decline in the number of closed deals.

Is against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2008 Deal Making in Healthcare event, which will take place in Manhattan. The event brings together approximately 150 senior operating executives from public and private healthcare firms, select private equity and hedge funds, prominent research fellows and select members of the advisory community. The forum will address a number of topics including, but not limited to: integrated health management, the evolving capital markets, due diligence in complex life sciences and health regulatory compliance.

Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. Participation by partnership organizations (advisory firms, vendors, etc) is limited to clients of Argyle Executive Forum. Argyle meetings are by invitation only. If you did not receive an invitation but would like to inquire about attendance, please click here.

*Press policies for member meetings are set at the individual session level. Some sessions may be on the record, while others are off. Please consult the meeting agenda, which will indicate which sessions are off the record. To inquire about media presence, please click here.
