The Owners Summit: Opportunity. Unlocked.
November 2025 | News & PressApril 7-8, 2026 | Atlanta, GA
TM Capital, a division of Janney, in partnership with King & Spalding, is excited to host our Second Annual Owners Summit. The Owners Summit offers privately-held businesses the opportunity to meet with investor groups in an exclusive, one-on-one setting. This includes private equity firms, family offices, growth equity firms, and sovereign wealth funds investing across all industries. The focus of this event is learning and networking. Along with the one-on-one meetings, we offer a number of panel discussions addressing key topics relevant to private business owners. Following the event, we collect feedback from the investors you met with, present this feedback to you, and coordinate follow-up dialogue if desired. All investors sign a non-disclosure agreement that restricts post-conference contact without an invitation from you to do so. This is your chance to make new connections and gather insights from operators who have successfully grown businesses like yours.
If you are a private company interested in learning more about The Owners Summit and if participation is right for you, please reach out to ownerssummit@tmcapital.com.
