VI CRIDO M&A Forum: How to become a leader in the Polish and European M&A market? Trends, analyses, finances, and success stories

We invite you to one of the largest events in the M&A market – the 6th edition of the CRIDO M&A Forum. This year, the Forum is part of the 20/20 project, in which we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the European Union throughout the year. Our event will be held under the theme: “How to become a leader in the Polish and European M&A market? – trends, analyses, finances, and success stories.” We look forward to seeing you on October 24th, from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, at Concept 13, DH Vitkac, Bracka 9, Warsaw.

Do you have mergers and acquisitions planned in Poland or abroad? Do you want to learn about the latest macroeconomic analyses affecting the M&A market? Are you curious about what expansion looks like from different European perspectives? Are you planning a merger/acquisition and want to know what financing options are available to you? Do you want to meet Polish entrepreneurs and hear their success stories?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, join our 200-person community from the M&A world.

As part of this year's edition, we have planned inspiring analyses, panel discussions, success stories, and invaluable networking opportunities.
