About the Event

Last year the market saw over 120 mergers and acquisitions close in the government market, down a bit from 2021 but still well above the historical average. Companies are making deals to add new capabilities, crack new markets and strengthen ties to current customers. Buyers include traditional strategic buyers but private equity driven platforms remain extremely active.
And size doesn’t seem to matter as large, small and mid-sized firms all are active as buyers and sellers.

In this Power Breakfast, we’ll tell the stories of some of the more significant transaction that occurred. We’ll dive into why they happened, what they meant to the companies involved, and what they say about trends in the market. Whether you are a buyer, seller or standing on the sidelines, these deals are changing the market and the competitive landscape where you work everyday.

Our Power Breakfasts are free for WT Insider Members. Click here to sign up for your Insider membership.
