Wireless VC SIG
M&A in Mobile Location Aware Technologies
in 2007 and Beyond
March 4, 2008 | 6:00-8:30pm | 1100 Marsh Road, Menlo Park
Event Sponsor: Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

The renewed interest in wireless Location Aware Applications and the convergence of mobile and the internet has fueled a surge in M&A in the space in 2007.  These activities are enabling the acquiring companies to offer comprehensive solutions and are dramatically changing the competitive landscape.  M&A agreements are not an end in themselves -- there are challenges during and after. In this session, we expect to build a deeper understanding of the challenges involved in completing M&A transactions and the different organizational structures used to absorb these acquired entities.  We also look into the impact of these mergers on the stand-alone small companies and prognosticate on what is next.
