About this Event
Dealmaker LIVE – The #1 M&A Event for Small Business Acquirers
May 15-17, 2026 | Renaissance Dallas Addison Hotel
If you're serious about buying businesses, building cash flow, and taking control of your financial future - this is the room you need to be in.
Acquisition Entrepreneur LIVE is a private, high-impact event designed for entrepreneurs, investors, and operators who are ready to stop watching and start closing deals.
Hosted by Carl Allen and Chris Moore, this is not a beginner seminar or a pitch fest.
This is where real deals get done.
What You’ll Experience
- Proven acquisition strategies from real dealmakers
- Step-by-step breakdowns of 6 & 7-figure deals
- Capital-raising frameworks used by top performers
- Live panels with lenders, investors, and operators
- Tactical breakout sessions to accelerate your progress
- High-level networking with buyers, funders, and partners
- Real conversations that lead to real opportunities
Why This Event Is Different
Most business events are built around hype and upsells.
This isn’t.
This is a private room of serious operators - people actively buying, funding, and scaling businesses.
No theory overload. No wasted time.
You won’t leave with ideas.
You’ll leave with:
- Clarity
- Connections
- Momentum
And potentially your next deal.
Who Should Attend
- First-time buyers ready to acquire their first business
- Entrepreneurs scaling through acquisitions
- Real estate investors looking to transition into business ownership
- Capital partners seeking deal flow
- Business owners exploring exits or growth through acquisition
- Advisors, brokers, and M&A professionals
If you're tired of sitting on the sidelines - this is your moment.
