Celebrate the best deals and dealmakers of 2025
You will be surrounded by 1000 top-level dealmakers who all have had their successes and failures. This is the night to share, remember and of course celebrate together. Some dealmakers will pay little attention to what’s on their dinner plate during the show, because they are in the race for one of the M&A Awards that will be presented.
A festive evening to reflect the past year
You will meet with 1000 top-level dealmakers who all have had their successes and failures in the Beurs van Berlage. This is the night to share, remember and of course celebrate together. Get the party going with a glass of champagne and a spiced up cocktail.
Relax into the festive spirit and enjoy the dinner and ceremony.
Join the after party with a DJ and a special guest and network with your peers. The M&A Awards is a festive evening of fine dining, amazing highlights and the opportunity to congratulate the best dealmakers and investors. This is the perfect opportunity to thank your customers and employees.
The M&A Community Team is proud that 1000 professionals from the business sector, private equity, investment banking, corporate finance, consultancy and the legal profession come together each year during the M&A Awards.
