Applications

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 McGuireWoods Emerging Manager Conference (Buyouts), taking place April 14-15, 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. This event is dedicated exclusively to buyout strategies.

Due to overwhelming demand and limited venue capacity, the conference is currently at capacity and we have moved to a waitlist process.

All Emerging Managers and Limited Partners must submit an application to be considered. Applications are now being reviewed on a waitlist basis, and confirmations will be extended should space become available.

Please note:

  1. Submission of an application does not guarantee attendance.
  2. Waitlisted applicants will be notified on a rolling basis if space becomes available.
  3. If space becomes available and your application is moved off of the waitlist, registration invitations will be extended to one representative per firm.
