	Acquisition Financing, a Banker's Perspective Presented by: RBC Royal Bank Acquisitions are a common means for businesses to grow revenues, as well as to diversify geographically, eliminate competitors, acquire new customers, add new products and services, and achieve economies of scale. However, sometimes acquisitions actually reduce shareholder value, and even successful mergers can take up to two years to fully integrate the new organization and realize the expected returns on invested capital. Consequently, many issues need to be considered by businesses and bankers when evaluating acquisition opportunities. During this session, an expert in bank acquisition financing will address these issues in detail.
4:15 - 5 pm	Concurrent Product and Information Sessions
4:15 - 5 pm	Next Generation of Software Solutions for First Nations Presented by: Abenaki Associates First Nations Management software has come a long way since the 1980’s and DOS.

These applications are hosted at secure sites (which can be your Tribal Council) and allow authorized users to access critical information from any location as long as they have access to a web browser – just like using Internet Banking! This session will demystify the concept of web-based software applications, and demonstrate the newest developments from Abenaki.
