September 2026 | The State of PE Deal Flow and Real-World AI Lessons Learned Private equity deal activity continues to change as firms hold investments longer and complete fewer exits. These shifts can affect how M&A professionals evaluate the market, advise clients, and plan for future opportunities. This webinar will review two decades of private equity market data, including changes in holding periods, differences across industries, and what investment-to-exit ratios can tell us about the current market. Andy Jones will also share an honest look at Private Equity Info’s experience using AI. He will discuss where it has been useful, where it has not worked as expected, and what firms should consider before using AI in their own work. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of current private equity market trends and practical lessons they can apply when considering AI for their firms. What You’ll Learn
