The premier community — and gathering — for Great Lakes deal professionals. Capital providers, advisors, and operating companies in the room together.
Curated. Regional. High-signal. No badge-scanning.
Get Early AccessGreat Lakes CapCon is the community and gathering platform for deal professionals across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. More than a conference, more than a directory — CapCon is where the region's most active middle market dealmakers convene to build the relationships that drive the next deal.
The events are intentionally smaller and more curated than the national circuit. The format is designed for real conversation, not a packed ballroom. The attendee list is qualified by practice, not registration. If you're active in the Great Lakes middle market, this is where your counterparties will be.
Great Lakes CapCon hosts an annual gathering for the region's dealmakers — a curated, single-day event bringing together capital providers, M&A advisors, and operating company executives from across the five-state Great Lakes corridor.
The format is deliberate: a limited number of attendees, structured around facilitated introductions, working sessions, and extended networking time. No keynote speakers filling a ballroom. No vendor hall. Just the right people, in the right room, with enough time to have real conversations.
