Beard Group and Renaissance American Management Present Distressed Investing Europe 2008

Frederick, MD, March 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- After a long drought in distressed opportunities, everything in the financial markets is different, not only from the way it was a year ago when the market was awash in liquidity, but from the way it has ever been. This is the first time since the emergence of Private Equity and Hedge Funds as major players in European finance that they will be active in a widely-spread distressed environment. This is the place to determine what to expect.

Distressed Investing - Europe is generally regarded as Europe's premier conference for restructuring professionals, advisors, and investors. It offers the opportunity to listen to, question and network with Europe's top restructuring professionals and distressed debt investors. The quality and breadth of speakers and subjects provide an excellent platform for discussion about current trends and coming opportunities.

CLE & CPD credits are available.

The conference will discuss:

* Market Overview
* European Restructuring Law Reforms
* Opportunities in Global Non-Performing Loan Portfolios
* New Litigation Strategies in European Restructurings
