Expand Your Network

Here’s how to maximize your time at DealMAX

The DealMAX schedule is tailor-made to help you meet exactly who you want, when you want, in the most efficient way possible.

Longtime DealMAX attendees attest to the power of chance encounters, because you never know who you’ll meet. Alongside your one-on-one meetings, take advantage of the conference’s many organic networking opportunities.

Looking to expand your network? Cocktail receptions, networking lunches, and chance encounters in the Lounge allow for impromptu introductions—they may just lead to your next deal.

Schedule 1:1 Meetings

Already know who you want to meet?

It’s the most efficient way to plan your time at DealMAX and ensure you’re having the high-value conversations that move your business forward.

DealMAX Lounge

The central hub of DealMAX, the Lounge has it all: open tables for meetings, sponsor booths, investment banking deal tables, and expert-led sessions in the pavilion. Home to a shoeshine station, espresso service, the DealMAX Bar, a headshot lounge, and other surprises, the Lounge is a great place to run into old friends or spark up a conversation with someone new.
