Expanded. Elevated. More Opportunities to Close.

Historically, Deal Connect was designed as a structured networking forum where private equity professionals met exclusively with AM&AA member middle market intermediaries and investment bankers—each hosting a table with active transaction opportunities. These targeted, high-value meetings have led to numerous closed deals and lasting connections.

Given the continued success and momentum, it’s time to raise the bar. This year, Deal Connect has been expanded to open the marketplace even further—inviting a broader range of qualified professionals and increasing access for both members and non-members.

What’s New for 2025

Expanded Table Host Access 
For the first time, Deal Connect table hosting is open to both members and non-members and now includes:

• Corporate Development / M&A Executives

• Family Offices

• Independent Sponsors

• Private Equity Investors

• Private Credit Providers

• Investment Bankers / M&A Intermediaries

If you represent one of these roles, you qualify to host a Deal Connect table in the dedicated room—right in the center of the action.

Meetings That Work for You
As a table host, all of your Deal Connect and scheduled meetings throughout the conference will take place at your assigned table in the Deal Connect room (unless your meeting is with another table host, in which case it defaults to their table). Each table includes company-branded signage and a designated table number to make your location easy to find and elevate your presence.
