BlackmoreConnects™ Conference Q & A
Educational Networking for Private-Equity-Minded Executives
What is a Guest Slot?
A Guest Slot is a professional-level invitation to experience the Blackmore Connects™ ecosystem. It’s free but performance-based. Our mission is educational networking—you learn by engaging. Participation confirms your seat; non-participation triggers the standard $1,499 non-attendance fee.
Why is live, camera-on attendance required?
Because this is peer-to-peer learning, not a lecture. Each session includes private-equity partners, operators, and sponsor executives. When attendance drops, momentum dies. Sponsors expect engagement from real decision-makers.
Who attends?
Private-equity firms, portfolio-company leaders, and operating executives managing P&Ls from $1 million to $200 million. Some have exits behind them; others are learning the PE language. All share one goal—building trust and signaling value to investors.
What do executives gain?
- Fluency — understand how PE capital thinks and measures.
- Network — connect with active investors and deal leaders.
- Respect for capital — align decisions with investor logic.
How long are sessions?
Pre- & Post-Workshops: 11:00 – 12:30 p.m. CT
Main Conference (Dec 17): 8:00 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. CT
Are workshops included?
Yes — they’re part of the Guest Slot. No per-session fees.
What if I miss sessions or cancel?
Attendance is automatically tracked. Guest participants must attend 4 of 6 pre- and 2 post-sessions with camera on. If you cancel or fall short, the $1,499 non-attendance fee applies—similar to a non-refundable project retainer.
Want more flexibility? Register under the $1,499 Guest Lite option. You’ll receive:
- A full SignalMate™ license for the conference (AI contextual-intelligence system).
- One hour of personalized onboarding or coaching with the developer or trained specialist.
Can someone else attend for me?
No. Guest Slots are personal and tied to your learning profile.
Do I get SignalMate™ with the Guest Slot?
Not with the free seat. Blackmore Connects™ pays over $30,000/year to license SignalMate™, an AI contextual-intelligence system. Conference registrants at the $1,499 level receive SignalMate™ at no extra cost (software value ≈ $5,000 per license).
If you’re in the free Guest Slot: You’re expected to attend 4 of 6 pre- and 2 post-conference sessions with camera on. If you cancel or fall short, the $1,499 non-attendance fee applies. This is similar to a non-refundable project retainer—resources and sponsorship are committed whether or not you attend.
Who underwrites the conferences?
Bailey Law Firm, GlobalAutoIndustry.com, and New York Life—our panel partners and educational sponsors.
What does “upgrade” mean?
Upgrading means moving from Guest Slot Lite to the Full Conference (virtual or in-person).
Upgrade fee: $1,499.
Includes direct PE meetings, transcripts, and SignalMate™ onboarding.
Are there exceptions or delegates?
No. Standard terms keep the system fair for all.
