CEO Day Miami is an invitation-only event for financial sponsors and CEOs in the Essential Services sector. This event will include one-on-one scheduled meetings with selected sponsors, a panel discussion (How Sponsors and Executives Join Forces to Deploy Capital) and additional networking opportunities. There is no charge to attend the event.

Private equity is heavily investing in the essential services economy. From facility management and safety compliance to residential franchises and infrastructure-linked industrial services, these businesses generate sticky, recurring revenue and align with long-term growth trends. This event convenes executives and investors across Commercial, Industrial and Residential Services to explore opportunities to build and scale platforms in today’s evolving essential services landscape.

CEO Day Miami is sponsored by CEO Discovery and Akerman to help you expand your network of financial sponsors and industry peers in this sector.

CEO Discovery is an online platform that connects financial sponsors with senior operating executives. The platform was purpose-built for private equity.
