"Aerospace & Defense M&A Perspectives”
Panelists:
Moderator:  Steve Moon (Deputy Head of M&A, Americas, Co-Head Aerospace & Defense Investment Banking, Kroll Investment Banking)
Nic Janneck (Partner, Vance Street Capital)
Brian Zaumeyer (Founder, New Aero Capital)
Brian Williams (CEO, Frazier Aviation International)
Join the Aerospace & Defense Forum – Los Angeles Chapter for an engaging panel discussion on the current state of M&A in the Aerospace and Defense sector. Hear firsthand from some of the most active investment bankers, private equity investors, and industry executives as they share their perspectives on recent deals, current trends, and the outlook for A&D transactions.
The Aerospace and Defense industry continues to navigate a dynamic landscape shaped by supply chain disruptions, workforce and production challenges, and now the potential impact of tariffs. In commercial aerospace, demand for air travel remains strong, though the sector remains cautious amid tariff-related uncertainties under the Trump Administration. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions have global defense spending on the rise — even as the Trump administration proposes 8% annual budget cuts to the Department of Defense over the next five years.
When will the commercial aerospace industry finally recover and get back to pre-pandemic production levels?
Will A&D companies continue to drive deal activity and further consolidate the sector despite these headwinds?
What segments of A&D are actively being traded and which segments are on pause?
We’ll answer these questions and more as we focus on the latest trends in commercial aviation, defense, space and other emerging market opportunities, and how these developments are expected to influence mergers and acquisitions over the next 12-24 months.

好吧，這真是擁擠的一天。很多學校團體。另外，當我們到達時，下一張可用票的時間是 2 小時後。我們每人花了18美元，另外還有停車費15美元。我認為這次體驗非常好。這些事情我很感興趣，所以我根本不介意等待。但它確實變得擁擠。

日落大道是洛杉磯最具代表性的事物之一，但它最終只是一條路。毫無疑問，它涵蓋了一些亮點，例如花花公子大廈、奧本海姆集團直通好萊塢，但你最終只是路過而不是冒險去。
