Deal Connect
What's new for deal connect at 2026 winter conference
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.
Given the continued success and momentum, it’s time to raise the bar. Deal Connect has now been expanded even further, inviting a broader range of qualified professionals and increasing access for both members and non-members.
Expanded Table Host Access
Exclusively for IB, PE, CP, IS, FO, or CD type firms – you qualify to host a Deal Connect table in the center of the action – in the ‘Deal Room’
Deal Connect table hosting is open to both members and non-members. All professions are now able to reserve a Deal Connect table.
Meetings That Work for You
As a table host, your Deal Connect and scheduled meetings throughout the conference will take place at your assigned table (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.
