The Art of M & A:
A Conference for Global Automotive Supply Executives
Tuesday, May 9 and Wednesday, May 10, 2000
Ann Arbor, MI
Focus: A Conference at which Executive Officers of Global Automotive
OEM Companies and their Contractors and Suppliers focused on
Mergers and Acquisitions in the Automotive Supply Sector
Speakers represented the automotive OEM, automotive suppliers, the
M&A, legal, accounting and financial communities. They addressed the
future of automotive consolidation and e-commerce integration in the
supply sector and the capital markets significance of it all. As Keith
Crain said in his Automotive News March 17, 2000 column: "Mergers
aren't over. It's just the middle of the backstretch". The push toward
global consolidation and integration of e-commerce is being driven by
the search for cost-cutting, management efficiencies and better links with
customers and suppliers. The Conference will brought the attendees current on these issues through presentations by industry and M&A professionals on the
topics shown below.
To assure interaction among peer management levels, attendance at the
Conference was limited to automotive OEM and supply sector
companies top executives who are directly involved in their company's
M&A activity. Attendees were those executives to whom current
information and professional insight about their markets was provided by
speakers and networking will have practical, immediate value.
Attendees took away from the Conference current awareness, contacts,
and knowledge about the strategic, business development and financing
aspects of M&A activity in today's automotive supply sector.
Here's what automotive expert Dr. David Cole, our keynote speaker, said about the Conference:
"Needless to say, the global automotive industry is in the
midst of one of the most dynamic periods in its history.
Massive restructuring is underway with mergers and
acquisitions, and the product and industry business models
are rapidly being redefined by the emerging e-culture, new
technology, challenging policy actions, demanding
customers, intensifying competition, and a growing
shortage of skilled human resources.
The not-invented-here syndrome of the past is being
quenched and replaced by a hunger for new combinations,
fresh ideas and technologies. The opportunities to bring
new thinking to this industry have never been greater, and
the University of Michigan Business School's Conference
'The Art of M&A: A Conference for Global Automotive
Supply Executives' is an effective mechanism to engage the
industry in this dialogue."
