Who Will Your Audience be?

Our membership and EXIT XPO audience are professional advisors to business owners.

What Kind of Content Are We Looking For?

We will present three tracks of content throughout the day. Each topic will be presented twice (although we may add additional topics that are presented only once).

The format will be a panel discussion or a single presenter.

Track 1
What’s going on in the World of Exit?

What is happening outside the walls of our client companies, yet impacting their business exit planning, value and more. This may be the state of the economy, the state of M&A activity at the time, company value issues, legislative, latest M&A trends.

Track 2
Value Building and Successful Exits

These sessions will address specific areas of the company and how they can be improved to positively impact the day-to-day as well as to prepare for exit and value growth. This is a wide-open list of everything a company should be addressing: marketing, financial management, human capital, technology, insurance, etc.

Track 3
Best Practices for the Professional Advisor

This track covers subject areas that are critical to the success of advisory and professional service firms in their growth and for the success of their clients. Again, a broad category that may include marketing and business development, practice development, building collaborative advisory teams, speaking, etc.
