CONFERENCE DAY ONE: 14TH OCTOBER

9:00 AM KEYNOTE PANEL: EXIT READINESS IN AN UNPREDICTABLE ENVIRONMENT

Volatile markets, shifting geopolitics, and inconsistent buyer sentiment have made exit timing more complex than ever. Funds are increasingly starting exit planning earlier, often as part of value creation, not the end of it. In this session, we bring an elite panel of speakers to share how they have and are preparing their businesses for exit.
• Embedding exit readiness as a continuous process, not an end of cycle scramble
• Determining the right exit timing when macro conditions are unclear
• Building a compelling equity story that resonates with increasingly sceptical buyers
• Early identification of red flags that can derail valuation

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Leo.
