​Beyond the Numbers - Product’s Role in M&A Diligence

​M&A isn’t just about the deal terms, it’s about the products that fuel long-term value. In this session, corporate development leaders will share how product plays a critical role in diligence, from evaluating roadmaps and tech stacks to assessing market fit and integration risks. Product leaders will walk away with a clearer view of how to partner with Corp Dev and shape smarter, more successful acquisitions.

​So, mark your calendars and get ready to expand your network and have some fun with fellow product enthusiasts. We can't wait to see you there!
