Activists and private equity: a conversation

Thursday 21 November (1150 - 1230)

Description

Activism and private equity have traditionally been thought of as wholly different strategies and communities: • However, particularly recently, how have the tactics of each influenced each other? • Is there common ground and has there been collaboration and potential convergence? • Where do the tensions lie, and what does the future hold?
