"It was one of the best conferences I've attended!" said Darrell Arne with Arne and Company from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Marla Merhab Robinson an M&A attorney from California said; "As a first time attendee I found the conference both educational and entertaining".

This year's Spring Conference workshops and panel discussions covered the most important topics for M&A Intermediaries. Topics such as: - How to Mitigate your Liability, The Latest Compliance Issues, Upcoming Tax Changes, Valuation Trends, Marketing Tactics, Triangular Mergers, Negotiating through Deadlocks. These and other topics were introduced as some of the best M&A tools of the trade. Many case studies were given and generated healthy Q&A sessions.

"Congratulations to you and your team on a fabulous conference!" said Ron Stacy, Legacy Advisors from Plano, Texas.

There were also several education courses for CE credit that covered valuable topics including Managing the Legal Issues (and Lawyers) in the M&A Process, Fundamentals of Service Business in M&A, Essentials for Managing an M&A Auction, Understanding the Pro Forma and Cash Flow Statement - A Negotiating Tool for More Deal Closings, Navigating Transaction Roadblocks, and The Subtle Art of Educating the Client.
