The photo of M&A International��s MidMarket Forum best illustrates the format for DealSource at AFF

Among the key attractions at AFF 2009 were the networking opportunities that enabled participants to meet with potential business partners from different parts of the world to explore new possibilities.

A prime such opportunity was DealSource, a three-hour deal-making session at the AFF 2009 on 20 January. This unique networking event was jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) from the United States; and the Hong Kong Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (HKVCPEA).

DealSource allowed more than 30 private equity firms, intermediaries, and transaction support professionals to meet in a one-on-one format. The session consisted of six 20-minute periods for individual meetings between each of the participating companies. The invited participants made use of this exclusive platform to network, negotiate deals and complete transactions on-site.

The session also served as a platform for professionals from private equity and intermediary organisations (such as legal and accountancy firms) to brief each other on their priorities and areas of special interest.

Participation in DealSource is by invitation only. Please contact the organiser Mr. Kevin Chiu for more information of the event.

For inquiries, please contact Kevin Chiu at Tel: (852) 2584 4266 or
