Save the Date -- Thursday March 20 MIT Enterprise Forum Dinner Program

LET’S MAKE A DEAL!

Key factors that Win (or Kill) Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions are in the news on a daily basis. From small strategic acquisitions to blockbuster deals, they can make or break a company's future and the fortunes of entrepreneurs.

Have you ever wondered what attracts buyers and what drives them away? What makes some companies acquisition targets while others never draw any interest?

Join us on Thursday, March 20, 2008 as the MIT Enterprise Forum of the Northwest hosts a panel of seasoned executives who will provide insight and lessons learned from both buying and selling companies.
