We'll build
relationships through ExecConnect and DealConnect:

The ExecConnect Private Meeting program actively arranges one-on-one meetings between Investors and Fund Managers so you'll have time to meet with firms you choose, in a private setting. The 20-minute meetings are pre-scheduled by conference directors ensuring you meet with executives who best match your fundraising and investment goals.
- DealConnect: DealConnect is the private meeting program for GPs, lenders and bankers running throughout the Buyouts West conference. As a participant you'll receive the list of attendees involved in DealConnect two weeks out from the conference to arrange your own meetings at the event.
