Beyond the Numbers: Private Equity Firms Host 5th Annual Healthcare Mergers & Acquisitions Conference on the Future of the Healthcare Industry
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 31, 2014 -- The noise about how many people have enrolled in the healthcare exchanges will draw a lot of attention now that the deadline has passed but the real question is how will the Affordable Care Act (ACA) effect major changes in the healthcare industry, create new profit models, drive innovation in some areas and consolidation in others. Over 300 of the nations' leading private equity funds, investment bankers, lenders, corporate executives and other key advisers will gather on June 17 to share their thoughts and deal opportunities at the ACG Chicago Healthcare M&A Conference being held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
This conference opens with some of the nation's most prominent and strategic professionals addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by Medicaid. This keynote panel bridges experts from Marwood, Polsinelli, CF Health Advisors, Together4Health, and Health Management Associates to understand the realities of executing the ACA changes and state reforms.
The second keynote will move to the investment banking perspective of the most active healthcare deal makers including Sterling Partners, Robert W. Baird, Harris Williams, Piper Jaffray, and Jefferies. The investments these firms and their peers represent are key to the successful transition of the healthcare industry.
Breakout panels will delve into other key management and industry issues that will incent or stymie investment and growth in healthcare. How Do I See What's Coming will expose how to deal with lobbyists and political intelligence firms. A session on Hospital Systems and Physician Groups will explore whether that sector's consolidation trend will continue. Collaborative Innovation to Drive Growth looks at the changing face of corporate venture investing in healthcare and what that means to new opportunities, jobs and expansion. And finally, Evolution will look at the future of health insurers, benefit providers and payors.
Professionals sharing their experience and expertise in these sessions represent Advocare, Avalere Health, Baxter, Cressy & Company, Delta Dental of Missouri, Farragut Square, Franciscan Network, GTCR, Health Care Service Corporation, Humana, Juniper Advisory, LLC, MATTER, Patton Boggs, Presence Health, Sandbox Industries, United Healtcare, Walgreen's, Waud Capital Partners, and 11T Partners.
Craig Miller, CEO of ACG Chicago, notes "this is our 5th year and even more important. Beyond the enrollee numbers, the industry is changing more dramatically, investors and executives are adapting faster, and the future of healthcare is more dependent on where we invest our time, capital and expertise. If anyone understands how this will impact decision-making and the eventual structure of the healthcare industry it is this collection of experts."
