2026 Spring Dealmakers Connection

Mayer Brown is proud to sponsor the 2026 Spring Dealmakers Connection, one of ’s premier middle-market networking events bringing together leading private equity investors, family offices, and investment bankers from across the country.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural program, the 2026 event introduces an expanded DealSource component designed to facilitate more targeted and productive dealmaking conversations. Through structured meeting matching, private equity professionals and investment bankers will participate in a series of pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings aimed at fostering new relationships and identifying transaction opportunities across the middle market.

The program will conclude with a networking reception at the Willis Tower, offering attendees the opportunity to continue conversations and strengthen connections while enjoying panoramic views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.

Mayer Brown’s Private Equity and M&A teams regularly advise private equity sponsors, portfolio companies, strategic investors, and financial institutions on sophisticated domestic and cross-border transactions across a broad range of industries. We look forward to connecting with fellow dealmakers and supporting meaningful relationship-building within the middle-market community.
