M&A in the AEC industry has shifted from episodic bursts of deal-making to a disciplined, strategy-led engine for long-term value creation—and the newly-released AEC M&A Outlook Report captures this turning point in detail. During this webinar, Jeff Adams and Will Swearingen will break down the report’s most important insights, helping leaders understand how today’s trends in capital flow, cultural alignment, leadership continuity, and valuation are reshaping the deal landscape. They will help you connect the data to real-world implications, showing how these forces are defining the next cycle of opportunity and what readiness truly looks like for buyers, sellers, and firms planning internal transitions.
