Exec Session

Community is the new luxury. Treat yourself.

Exec Session is an invitation-only community of lower middle market private equity leaders. Built by and for peers. We gather to share what we know and strengthen connections across the industry.

You’re busy. How much time do you spend fostering a community of peers across the industry? That’s where Exec Session comes in. We build the community. You make connections.

What is Exec Session

Reunion, not conference.

No expo hall, no PowerPoint. The day is built around conversation.

You set the agenda.

The community decides the topics that are most interesting for each gathering.

Off the record.

Chatham House Rules. No recordings. Open and honest discussion in a high-trust room.

Small.

Big enough to make new friends, small enough to reconnect with old ones.

The best conversation you’ll have all year is with a peer going through the same thing as you, but with a different perspective.
