July Lunch and Learn at Engelman Berger
With the summer heat in full swing, XPX Phoenix members and guests attended an intimate Lunch and Learn presentation July 23rd at the law offices of Engelman Berger, one of our chapter’s Gold Sponsors. Presenters Shelley Detwiller DiGiacomo and Juliet Peters discussed the ABA Deal Points Study and how those deal points impact business exits in the private middle market.
Plenty of interaction as well as great education – the hallmarks of a successful XPX event!
July Coffee Meetup at Provision
On July 7th, XPX Phoenix members and guests met up for our second Coffee Meet-Up, this time at Provision – an easy, low-key morning built for real conversation, not another meeting-room presentation. Warm mornings, warmer conversation, and plenty of exit planning insight to go around.
June Coffee Meetup at Kookz
On June 9th, XPX Phoenix members and guests gathered for our inaugural Coffee Meet-Up at Zookz – a small-format, members-first morning designed for the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen in a golf club meeting room.
Coffee, networking, misters to keep us cool, and discussions around exit planning – the ingredients of a successful summer meet-up!
