Members: We are excited to announce two major new offerings for member networking in 2025: NE Chapter Symposium:?Look out for an invitation to our first ever NE Chapter Symposium – “The Year of the Deal” – to be held at a prestigious local venue in May. Years of difficult access to public markets and a record amount of dry powder in in private equity/venture capital funds suggest pent-up demand both on the supply side and the demand side for capital market transactions. Our Symposium will feature Keynote speakers to guide private companies accessing the capital markets, including: ~ State of the private capital markets in 2025 ~ How to prepare to access the public markets for the first time ~ Getting your governance house in order ~ Merger and acquisition essentials Member-only “Affinity groups”:?Based on feedback for more localized or thematic opportunities aiming at developing meaningful connections and potential business opportunities. Members that share a common interest or simply live or work close together will gather to share peer feedback and build deeper connections. Members can join any affinity groups and there will be no need to register and no event fee. Groups will be organized by one of our Executive Leadership team members. Watch out for individual invites to these. In addition, we are planning: Four Directors’ Table dinners:?Our popular members-only Directors Table dinners will continue quarterly at the Harvard Club. We are keeping the cost at $125 and limiting space to facilitate deeper connections and networking. Three “Third Tuesday” panel discussions hosted by sponsors:?Fewer panel sessions to create larger, more productive networking rather than spreading these thinly over the year. Save the dates now in the chart below. We appreciate members that have come forward with ideas for topics and speakers. Please keep these coming.
