About
M&A Forum Seattle was billed as bringing corporate deal teams together to work through the challenges of complex transactions and to refine how deals are run and performed. Discussion was scheduled to rest on a data-driven framework for judging how changing practice affects deal points and the methods used to close transactions. Session leaders were listed as coming from T-Mobile, Marsh and Microsoft, with William Jefferson Black of the Transaction Advisors Institute as chair. The afternoon format was scheduled to combine a networking welcome, the forum session and a closing reception.

Corporate M&A deal teams were the stated audience of M&A Forum Seattle.
It is most useful for corporate development and deal team members who want to compare integration and diligence practice with peers, since the session leaders were listed as including heads of M&A at T-Mobile and Microsoft and a Marsh partner, and the forum reported 50+ corporate M&A leaders. The late afternoon format, a session from 4:00 to 5:45 and then a reception, was a short time commitment, but bankers and advisors looking for new clients would have found a room made up of corporate buyers and less of a dealmaking crowd.
Corporate M&A professionals usually wear business formal or sharp business casual at events like this, and a jacket is common for men and women. The Rainier Club is a traditional private club in downtown Seattle, where smart attire is the norm.
The stated audience was corporate M&A deal teams.
