CONFERENCE
OVERVIEW

iiBIG is proud to be returning to the “Music City” – Nashville, TN on November 13-14, 2023 with our 15th Annual ‘Investment and M&A Opportunities in HEALTHCARE + Life Sciences, Medical Devices & Distressed Situations.’ The event will be held at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel.

Where are the best deals? What constitutes a fair valuation multiple in this market? In the aftermath of the pandemic shutdowns, are more distressed opportunities coming to the table? There is no better place to gather this type of intelligence than at an in-person B2B conference like this one, where off-the-record conversations can take place among professionals who are knowledgeable about the true pulse of this market.

iiBIG’s Healthcare M&A series of conferences started in Nashville in 2007 and, have been held there annually (with the exception of 2020 and 2021). This event has become known as one of the ‘must-attend’ executive B2B healthcare events, where a 360 degree cross section of players in the Healthcare M&A ‘food chain’ gather to learn and network. (Click on ‘Past Attendees’ above to get an idea of the types of senior executives and organizations that attend).
