McGuireWoods is pleased to announce the return of the McGuireWoods Emerging Manager Conference — Buyouts, taking place April 6–7, 2027, in Dallas.

Now in its fifth year, the conference is dedicated exclusively to buyout strategies and will once again bring together emerging managers, institutional investors and family offices for two days of curated one-on-one meetings, meaningful networking and timely market insights focused on the evolving private equity buyout landscape.

In April 2026, we welcomed nearly 1,000 emerging managers and limited partners from around the world, with a near 1:1 ratio slightly weighted toward limited partners.

APPLICATIONS

All Emerging Managers and Limited Partners must submit an application to be considered. All applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis as part of a curated selection process. You can expect a response within 3–4 weeks of submission. Our objective is to assemble a balanced group of limited partners and emerging managers; accordingly, timing of submission does not influence review outcomes.

KEY DETAILS

1. Submitting an application does not guarantee attendance. All applications are carefully reviewed on an individual basis to determine alignment with the conference’s focus and objectives.
2. Applications are considered on an individual basis, not on behalf of a firm. Each prospective attendee must submit their own application for consideration.
3. A maximum of two individuals per firm may apply. For non-McGuireWoods clients, approval of a second attendee is not guaranteed and will be subject to overall event capacity.
4. If your application is approved, you will receive additional instructions to complete your registration and purchase your ticket.
5. Attendance is not confirmed until registration and payment are complete.
