Self-Promotion Alert!

I’ll be on CNBC Squawk Box tomorrow morning, to discuss take-privates that may bite the dust. We were originally supposed to do this last week, and in the interim lost Reddy Ice. At least we still have Alliance Data to kick around…

Also, just a reminder that I’ll be participating in next Wednesday’s Dealmakers 2008 Outlook Conference in Boston, which is hosted by ACG Boston. The afternoon event kicks off with a keynote by Brian Brille, global head of investment banking for BoA. Next up is a panel I’m moderating, with: Josh Beckenstein of Bain Capital, Kevin Callaghan of Berkshire Partners, Jill Greenthal of Blackstone Group and Marty Mannion of Summit Partners. Hope to see some of you there…
