Event Details
The 2016 Booth-Kellogg ETA Conference is set for November 9th at the Chicago Cultural Center, in what is expected to be the largest turnout in the series. The 2015 conference attracted over 200 attendees, making it the country's largest conference for search funds and the field of entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA), as a whole. This year, organizers are expecting over 300 attendees, including top investors, lenders, academics, and aspiring search fund entrepreneurs.
Kellogg and Booth will co-host the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Conference again, with the goal of making Chicago a hub for ETA. The event will include several panels, covering everything from fundraising options to what it's like being a young CEO, as well as multiple opportunities for networking.
