Trade wars. Real wars. Inflation. Rising interest rates.

Today’s economic turbulence is pushing a growing number of small and mid-sized companies into financial distress. For private equity professionals, this creates a powerful opening—not just to preserve value, but to create it. By acquiring troubled companies, stabilizing operations, and leading turnarounds, you can save jobs and deliver strong returns for your investors.

Join us Thursday, August 21, from 1PM to 3PM ET, for an intensive two-hour crash course on the latest strategies for sourcing, acquiring, and revitalizing distressed businesses.

Led by four seasoned experts—a top bankruptcy attorney, investment banker, operating partner, and special-situations deal sponsor—this course will equip you with the tools to navigate every stage of the process:
