In light of a new economic and regulatory backdrop, 2011 is likely to be a pivotal year for shareholder activism. Dodd-Frank, say-on-pay requirements, looming proxy access, and a rising M&A environment are just some of the many factors that--in regards to what we have seen in the past--will set a profoundly new stage for activist investing.
Join top hedge funds, corporate law firms, private equity firms, corporate governance specialists, proxy advisors, as well as the activists themselves in DealFlow Media's The Activist Investor Conference 2011. All stakeholders should attend this conference for exclusive information surrounding shareholder activism. In addition to disclosing strategies and insights, the conference also provides an opportunity for networking among experts in the field.
