About the Summit
Staggered by a flagging economy and plummeting consumer confidence, retailers find themselves on the ropes. Weakened by failed repositioning strategies and unprecedented levels of debt, retailers are finding it hard to get back on their feet and fight another day. Some have already had to throw in the towel and many more will have to do so.
Welcome to the Distressed Retail Summit, where leading members of the turnaround, restructuring, bankruptcy, liquidation, lending, and distressed investing communities will gather to explore how the distress in retail is playing out in the market and in the courts. They will discuss how this cycle of retail distress is being impacted by the credit crunch, the legacy of highly structured, highly leveraged debt, and the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). They will look into the new strategies and solutions being pursued in this new environment by retail businesses attempting a turnaround or undergoing Chapter 11 reorganization or liquidation. You will hear strategics and rescue capital share their perspectives on the current market. You will also hear about the opportunities being created for distressed investors in real estate leases, brands and intellectual property, debt, and vendor credit.
The Summit will provide a high-powered networking platform, where you can get the latest intelligence on the developments in the market and upcoming business opportunities. So, please join us for this timely event where you can build the all-important relationships and gain the invaluable insights that will enable you to successfully participate in today’s distressed retail market.
