Waldorf Astoria Beverly HillsQuestions people ask
5 answeredThe event starts November 10, 2026.
It takes place at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills, California.
The listed audience includes aerospace and defense suppliers, CEOs, private equity investors, corporate development executives, investment bankers, and legal advisors.
It is most useful for aerospace and defense suppliers weighing a sale, acquisition or investor, and for private equity and corporate development staff, since the speakers include deal people from Guggenheim Securities, Apollo Global Management, TransDigm Group and The Boeing Company. Engineers, program managers and others without a role in transactions would get little from a program centred on valuation, middle-market consolidation and regulatory oversight of deals.
Executives and investors at M&A conferences usually wear business formal or sharp business attire, and a Beverly Hills luxury hotel setting reinforces that norm.
