Has anyone visited any in- person conferences for the Searchfund/ LMM Private Equity community?
Which one(s) did you enjoy the most and why?

Thanks ^redacted‌. There are a lot of conferences, depending on where you want to travel. SIG hosts great in-person events (one this weekend), and there are others at b-schools and cities with active ETA communities (Rice has one coming up in Oct). Often investors, advisors, brokers, and other intermediaries attend or have strong connections to the searchers that attend. I'd suggest targeting conferences that have strong attendance searchers and intermediaries, as well as in cities that you could potentially see yourself acquiring a business.

Thanks for the mention ^redacted‌ :) Community and education are a massive part of BuyAndSellABusiness.com. We've organized 4 sold out events so far: #BossUp, SMB Social and 2 SMB Private Dinners. We have another social (^redacted‌) and 1 day conference in the pipeline. Our waiting list is here: https://buyandsellabusiness.com/events
