Houlihan Lokey’s European Corporate Finance group, in alliance with Knight, is delighted to invite you to the 3rd Annual European Private Companies Conference on 13 May 2010, at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge.

Following the success of prior years’ events, this year’s conference will again feature senior executives from a variety of privately-owned U.K. and European companies, who will be showcasing their businesses to an audience of prospective financial and strategic partners. This event is an invaluable way to stimulate fresh thinking, keep abreast of business-critical issues, meet new contacts and strengthen existing relationships.

Conference Overview

This event, which is free of charge to attend, will feature eight presentations by senior executives of privately held companies in two different streams, who will be describing their business, markets, strategy and future outlook.

Also featured will be two topical, in-depth panel discussions, featuring industry specialists from a range of backgrounds.

An introduction or private meeting can be requested with a presenting company on the day of the conference. We would be happy to communicate the nature of your interest and coordinate your availability.
