Navigant Capital Advisors to Sponsor and Present at the "Investment and M&A Opportunities in Healthcare" Conference

NEW YORK, NEW YORK (December 2008) - Navigant Capital Advisors ("NCA") is pleased to announce that it will be a sponsor and presenter at the "Investment and M&A Opportunities in Healthcare" Conference at the Nashville Convention Center in Nashville on January 27-28, 2009. As 2008 comes to a close, strong activity in healthcare M&A continues, despite the crisis that plagued the capital markets in the third quarter. The historically low dollar, coupled with downward pressure on valuations, has created many attractive opportunities in the U.S. market.

Bradford Burkett, Head of Healthcare Investment Banking, will be part of the executive faculty and an expert panelist during the session, Private Equity's Increasing Role in Healthcare M&A? The panel will provide an in-depth discussion and analysis of questions surrounding the direction private equity firms have taken in 2008 and what is to be expected in 2009 in the healthcare M&A market.

The International Institute for Business Information & Growth LLC (iiBIG)'s "Investment and M&A Opportunities in Healthcare" will include strong representation from CEOs and corporate development leaders from the healthcare industry's most innovative organizations. This includes healthcare's key dealmakers from private equity firms, investment banking, legal and M&A sectors.
