DeaLinx
A Unique Deal Sourcing Event
One of the highlights of the Deal Summit, DeaLinx is a deal sourcing event that facilitates pre-arranged, one-on-one meetings between investment bankers and fund managers. Using SBIA’s highly successful pre-screening model, both sell-side and buy-side-focused investment banks are welcome to participate in this efficient opportunity to meet with the funds best suited to review the deals currently available.
DeaLinx gives all eligible conference attendees the opportunity to fill out an online profile with firm information for other attendees to view, enabling both fund managers and investment bankers to pre-screen one another without relying in independent research. In advance of the Deal Summit, DeaLinx participants will then be able to send messages and request meetings at mutually available time slots during the DeaLinx event. Participants will be provided with an assigned table location for their meetings.
Investment bankers interested in participating may be eligible for special registration rates and additional benefits while at the Deal Summit. Please contact events@sbia.org for more information!
