For over a decade, Mergermarket’s annual London forum has been a key fixture for European M&A professionals. In 2025, we bring a sharper focus, evolving into the Mergermarket M&A Forum UK—a dedicated platform for corporate acquirers, private equity investors, investment banks, and legal advisors to navigate the complexities of UK dealmaking.
UK M&A has shown resilience during recent geo-economic uncertainty with dealmakers remaining bullish on the UK market as deal volumes outperform the wider EMEA region. This year's agenda explores the outlook for dealmaking from private equity's role, to navigating the new UK regulatory environment and creative capital solutions. With insights from top dealmakers and advisors, this forum provides the strategic intelligence and connections needed to drive successful transactions in the year ahead.
Mergermarket and KPMG are pleased to present the Dealmakers and Trailblazers Networking Reception—a celebratory and inclusive reception open to all forum attendees. The reception is designed to spotlight women in M&A and corporate development, and to foster meaningful connections across the industry. Can’t attend the full forum? You can still join the reception by selecting the "Dealmakers and Trailblazers" ticket option.
