ABOUT
Dealmakers’ Breakfasts are a series of curated briefings featuring expert panels delivering on-the-record assessments and commentary on market trends and deal-making opportunities. Chaired by Kenny Kemp, Editor of The Business, and supported by The Sunday Times Scotland. Speakers and delegates are drawn from senior M&A executives at Law Firms, Investment Banks, Financial Institutions, Intermediaries, Consultancies, Private Equity, and Audit & Accounting Firms.
Speakers: Our speakers focus on innovation, investment, technology, and the transition to net zero, sharing insights from both the UK and international markets. Each event has a sector theme.
Locations: We use the most prestigious venues in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Inverness, convening in a round-table format to ensure a comfortable exchange of ideas and to maximise networking opportunities.
Sponsorship: Each DealMakers’ Breakfast has one sponsored panel spot available, along with other related media opportunities in print, online, and at bespoke client events. If your organisation wants to reach these valuable audiences, please contact editor@thebusiness.scot.
Format: The morning begins at 8:00 am with breakfast and networking. The expert panel discussions commence at 8:45 am, with brief presentations followed by a question-and-answer session, concluding promptly at 11:30 am, allowing you to continue your daily business.
Must attend: Dealmakers’ Breakfasts are a must-attend for company leaders who want to learn from M&A experts in their sector and public-sector agencies whose job is to advise start-up and scale-up companies.
Media: A report on each event is featured in The Business Magazine, distributed with The Sunday Times Scotland, read by over 67,000 of Scotland’s business leaders and influencers. Each event is covered online, on our website and social media.
