M&A Dinner 2026-2027
About
The M&A Dinner brings students interested in Corporate Finance together with professionals from M&A firms.
Dates: 25 and 27 November 2026
Location: Pulitzer Amsterdam
Application deadline: 6 November 2026
This year, the FSA is organising a M&A Boutique Dinner on Wednesday 25 November and a M&A Banking Lunch on Friday 27 November, both at Pulitzer Amsterdam.
Each event opens with brief presentations introducing the participating companies. During dinner or lunch, students change tables between courses to get to know the different firms. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and learn first-hand what working in M&A involves.
Who are we looking for?
We welcome students from all academic backgrounds who are completing their Bachelor’s or pursuing a Master’s degree. If you are interested in M&A and would like to get to know the participating firms, you can apply through our website.
The M&A Boutique Dinner
The M&A Boutique Dinner on November 25 focuses on independent M&A advisory, with IMAP, Nielen Schuman, Livingstone and Clearwater joining us for a four-course dinner. If you’re considering a career at an M&A boutique, this is your chance to speak directly with the teams, hear about their transactions and get a feel for the different firms.
Time: 19:00–23:00
Programme: Welcome, company presentations and a four-course dinner with table rotations.
