DealFlow Events today announced the initial roster of speakers for the annual SPAC Conference 2021, to be held June 23-24 in New York City at the Westchester Country Club.
This must-attend outdoor event features best-in-class professionals delivering cutting-edge information in a luxurious setting. All safety protocols are in place to ensure the comfort and security of all our participants.
Why you should attend:
Special purpose acquisition companies have seen explosive growth over the last year, setting multiple records for deals and capital raises. M&A opportunities are being sought more assertively by SPAC management teams and private companies are increasingly looking at SPACs as a viable option to go public. In fact, 2021 has already seen the most SPACs going public in more than 10 years.
The SPAC Conference offers a forum for discussion about deal trends and why alternative IPO techniques such as SPACs and direct listings have gained favor with both companies and their investors. DealFlow Events has assembled a best-in-class program, where the brightest minds in the business will discuss market dynamics and the latest investment opportunities.
As blank-check companies face increasing competition for deals and new demands from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, staying abreast of the rapidly changing landscape is essential for every working professional involved with SPACs.
The 2021 SPAC Conference offers everything you’d expect from a first-class professional event, plus a few special surprises. Attendees called last year’s event, “The best SPAC Conference that’s ever been held.” We aim to top that in 2021 by offering a new, private networking opportunity for companies interested in SPACs. And much more.
