A review of the REACH Spring Conference 2025

Last week the REACH Spring Conference 2025 took place in Milan - an international gathering of more than 90 M&A professionals from over 20 countries. Our Italian partner Broletto Corporate Advisory organized the event to perfection, with a program full of knowledge sharing, strategic deepening and personal meetings.

Present on behalf of JBR were Charlotte Zoller, Frank Hermans, Jelmer Haites, Ronald van Rijn, Thomas van Amerongen and Niklas Kaiser. Together with Sam Brozynski (IOM Advisory), Niklas gave a presentation on behalf of the Deal Tracking Working Group (DTWG) on the latest insights from the training tracks and deal statistics within the REACH network.

Niklas Kaiser:
"Since everyone is busy throughout the year, the REACH conference is the ideal time to share experiences. Thanks to local expertise worldwide, a high transaction volume and broad sector knowledge, we put our international network to optimum use for our clients."

Other JBR colleagues also look back on the event with great appreciation:

Charlotte Zoller:
"The REACH conference was a valuable mix of international knowledge sharing and personal interaction. The open, social and enthusiastic atmosphere made it easy to connect with colleagues from our network."

Thomas van Amerongen:
"It was a unique opportunity to discuss strategic and macro-economic developments from an international perspective. Insights that we can directly take into account in our advisory work."

Jelmer Haites:
"We return with new perspectives and valuable insights. The warm hospitality of our Italian partners - as well as the energy of Milan - made this an inspiring trip."

Ronald van Rijn:
"It was inspiring to further strengthen our relationships within REACH together with the new generation of colleagues. This is how we ensure continuity as well as renewal."
