Moderator Kate Kelly, Reporter, New York Times Speakers John Huwiler, Managing Director, Global Head of M&A, Jefferies Leon Kalvaria, Chairman, Institutional Clients Group, Citi Steve Krouskos, Global Vice Chair, Transaction Advisory Services, EY Virginie Morgon, Deputy CEO, Eurazeo; President and CEO, Eurazeo North America Greg Weinberger, Co-Head of Global Mergers and Acquisitions, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC No amount of uncertainty -- whether in the form of political shocks or roadblocks put up by governments -- seemed to stop 2016's boom in global takeover activity. By year-end, the value of M&A totaled $3.6 trillion, making 2016 the second-best year for dealmakers since the financial crisis after 2015. Leading market participants will share their M&A outlook for 2017. Potential questions: What impact will current corporate tax reform proposals have on M&A? Will European companies seek growth abroad? Are organic growth prospects and potential synergies strong enough to justify what many claim to be high valuations in US markets? With China trying to stem capital flows, where will new M&A take place? What will be the new administration's impact on cross-border M&A?
