Information on scheduled conferences for 2023 or a list of ones from 2022 would be really helpful!

I'd also welcome any information on which events are the most highly regarded in terms of value for price of admission.

I'll give more context on SEETA: The South East ETA Conference rotates between UVA Darden, Duke Fuqua, and UNC Keenan-Flagler business schools. For 2023, I believe Keenan-Flagler is next up since 2021 was fuqua and 2022 was Darden.

Historically, SEETA caters content toward rising searchers. This year's panels surrounded the following: Current CEOs reflections, Searcher advice on how to prepare, Investor panel on different search models, and other panels with search resources (lenders, lawyers, etc). All speakers came from a wide variety of the search fund community, including self-funded, traditional, and accelerator/incubator/single sponsor models

With approx 300 attendees, SEETA typically sees lower attendance than other big conferences, meaning you can find more chill one-on-one interaction.

Personally, I attended 2 SEETA and 1 HBS conference and found value in all of them in different ways. Enjoy!
