Food and Beverage M&A and Private Equity Trends
We’re continuing our half‑day Hot Topics series this spring with a dynamic program featuring a new panel on emerging companies, an investment showcase, a roundtable discussion on M&A and private equity in the food and beverage sector, and dedicated networking time.
Start the day learning from a panel of emerging food and beverage companies and investors as they explore the core principles of scaling a brand and the qualities investors prioritize when evaluating growth opportunities. You’ll then have the opportunity to connect with growth‑stage companies seeking capital through our NP Capital Connector® program.
Following these presentations, we invite you to join a complimentary roundtable and networking session focused on Private Equity and M&A activity in the sector, bringing together senior leaders and active investors engaged in middle‑market transactions.
We'd be delighted to have you with us. Explore the full AGENDA online.
Who should attend?
Corporate executives, founders, private equity and venture capital investors, family offices, independent sponsors, investment bankers, and professional advisors focused on food and beverage transactions.
