There is a lot of talk about how digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) are causing drastic changes in deal making processes. 

And indeed; a growing number of M&A advisors, banks, law firms and investment firms are onboarding smart technology to improve their business. But do we really need all these tools? And what have they really achieved so far? It is time for a practical and down to earth approach to the digital journey in M&A. We invite all M&A professionals to join us for a lively and interactive discussion with our expert panel led by Julien Cayet – Technology and Innovation director at Loyens & Loeff. 

After the debate we all join for drinks, snacks and networking with friends and peers.
