Hosted by Mass Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC)

8:15 AM–1:30 PM ET

About

Navigating a liquidity event in the technology sector requires disciplined preparation, strategic insight, and experienced guidance. As buyers grow more sophisticated and diligence requirements intensify, technology executives must be transaction-ready across financial, legal, operational, and strategic dimensions to achieve optimal outcomes. This executive-focused program brings together CFOs, General Counsels, investment bankers, private equity investors, and advisors to share practical perspectives on preparing for and executing a successful transaction. Through panels, presentations, and fireside chats, the program covers the full lifecycle of a liquidity event — from early readiness and financial preparedness to legal considerations, deal positioning, value maximization, and post-close value creation. Attendees will gain actionable insights into what buyers and sponsors look for in today's market, how to prepare management teams for diligence and negotiations, and how to position their companies for a successful transaction and future growth. Ticketing: free for MTLC members; $100 for future members. All registrations require approval. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the event, less the 3.2% payment platform fee.
