Here's what our attendees have to say about our Executive Conferences:

Extremely informative!! Learned a lot about things I had never even thought of!! Mike is a great speaker!! Every Business owner should attend one of these seminars!

I would recommend this conference to any business owners who are seriously thinking about selling their business. The information I learned was invaluable. The presenters are both very knowledgeable and professional.

Must attend seminar if you own a business. As a business owner it’s impossible to know all the ins and outs of this aspect of business. They do it well!!

Excellent production and very informative. Gave me hope that my company is worth far more than I thought. Answered more questions than I could even imagine. Great job!

Very informational for all business owners regardless of what you’re current plan is. All business owners should come to learn more about the aspects of business that the common owner doesn’t usually think about or know about.

This was the best educational experience for me. The speaker was an extremely well organized and well spoken individual. I learned so much and am now feeling better educated on handling some future business transactions.

That was the most amazing, important day I've spent in at least 10 years!

Great conference! The conference leader and managing director are very professional and are genuinely wanting what’s best for their clients.

I received so much information to either grow or sell a business without selling a product.

A must for every business owner. No hard-selling, and it was completely free including breakfast, lunch and valet parking. The information is essential for growing your business and more importantly when it comes time to exit.

This conference was by far one of the most informational experiences I have attended. I needed the information to better understand the proper steps to selling my business. I would highly recommend this to anyone when they are thinking of selling their business. Not attending is almost guaranteeing you sell your business for less.

This was a very informative day. As a business owner, it's good to receive quality information. Michael did an exceptional job.

The conference was insightful, eye-opening and brings a sense of comfort to know a company such as this exists to help me and my family make the best choice for the future of our business. Thank you so much.

Peter was an amazing public speaker and I walked out of this conference with exponentially more confidence in knowing how to grow and develop my business for investors. Ashok was also attentive and answered our technical questions regarding market value and different options we can take as business owners with consulting services. I definitely recommend coming here for at least getting some food for thought and a new way to look at how you should be presenting your business.

Incredible content. Excellent in terms of engagement. Very aggressive fees. Awesome reach. Will contract with Generational in a heartbeat. Market leader in deals to $25 million and nationally 2nd to $100 million. Growth agent. Very talented and driven team of straight shooters. Headquartered in Texas which is the land of the most friendly straight shooters.

Clear and well-organized information. Tremendous value on many levels.

The conference was filled with excellent information. It was worth spending the day.

Definitely a better way to think about your exit strategy! Powerful!

GREAT... Extremely professional and informative!!!

Great conference! Would recommend all day. Thank you!

Most informative and productive single day a small business could spend for their future.
