Wofford Advisors
Dealmakers Conference
An invitation-only gathering of CEOs, CFOs and investors in transportation & logistics. Three days, one room, no sales pitches.
2026 Recap
The Dealmakers Conference brings together executives from across transportation and logistics: public, family-owned and private equity-backed companies, plus the PE firms themselves. They share war stories from buying and selling companies and the lessons they took from them: how they positioned a business for sale, chose a buyer, handled an offer they didn’t see coming, and decided when to walk away.
Alongside them, practitioners who work on deals day in and day out, across many clients and transactions, lead educational sessions on how the process works and how your advisors should be helping.
