October 28-30, 2012 | The Breakers | Palm Beach, FL The Premier Networking Event for Managers of Middle Market Funds, Institutional Investors, and Limited Partners.                "The Summit is an excellent opportunity for us to connect with other managers of middle market funds, and to discuss deals, trends in the market place and best practices with other fund managers. Because the Summit draws mostly GPs and LPs, and only a small number of service providers, my partners and I feel we accomplish more at this conference than we do at any other.” Tom Hiatt, Founding Partner, Centerfield Capital Partners The National Summit for Middle Market Funds is the premier national conference for practitioners in the middle market of the private equity industry.  The Summit offers a unique environment to network with 300+ private equity fund managers, investment bankers, institutional investors, limited partners, and service providers, over the course of three days.
