Best-In-Class Private Events
Axial events are rated as some of the most productive networking events for middle market deal professionals in the industry. Through national, regional, and industry-specific events, we focus on having a calculated ratio of buyers, capital providers, intermediaries and companies, while curating meetings between attendees beforehand.
The statistics speak for themselves. Here are some numbers from our one-day Chicago event held in July.
- 750+ meetings held among 125 attendees
- 55% sell-side attendees, 45% buyside
- 160+ active deals in the room
- Check sizes ranging from $100K-$500M
- Average company size of $23M
The ROI of Professional Services
6 members reflect on Axial PRO
"The network, while valuable in itself, is not just the deal, it's the relationship and introduction to the person on the other side of the deal, which may result to 3 or 5 or 10 deals over the next year or two. A large contributor to our success is the relationship introduction and support that we receive through Axial's services team. We don't know everyone, and Axial's team is a great resource to help make those connections."

At Axial Concord, I had over 15 one-on-one meetings selected and set up for me by my consultant. It was the most productive event I have ever been to. We got multiple actionable leads, one of which has already closed and another is expected to close soon.![]()
