SMBash is a live meetup of folks who love all things SMB, Micro-PE, and ETA (entrepreneurship-through-acquisition). This could include owners, operators, investors, lenders, advisors, brokers, etc. Are you actively searching for a business to buy? Are you seeking opportunities to invest in SMB? Do you want to build relationships with others who are as excited about this space as you are? Then you should attend.

Our main goal is to foster one-on-one interactions between attendees. To that end, there is a focus on fantastic meals, happy hours, and authentic group conversations. In addition to this, daily programming consists of live presentations, discussions, podcast recordings, and Q&A. 

SMBash kicks-off on the evening of Thursday April 27^th with a welcome event for everyone arriving in-town. Friday the 28^th and Saturday the 29^th include daily programming, meals, happy hours, and social events. Sunday the 30^th features breakfast and a final farewell for anyone waiting on flights and transportation.
