October 5-7 | Birmingham, AL

Join Waitlist

Silicon Y’all is an invitation-only gathering of 90 leading technology and software CEOs alongside a select group of 25 private equity and capital providers. We’re heading into our 12th year, and we still carry a 100% Net Promoter Score — which tells you something about what happens when you get the right people together.

What makes Silicon Y’all unique?

  • No pitching. No speed dating. No vendor booths. Just curated content and peer-to-peer interaction in a relaxed and open environment
  • Capital providers who engage as peers – sharing a behind-the-curtain look at their playbook to help owners understand what is really important to buyers
  • An experience created for entrepreneurs, owners, and founders who want to run a better company – Whether they want to sell, partner, or hold
  • Who is in the room – each year, participants are curated to ensure there is a cross-section of founders and operators who’ve actually done what you’re doing and hope to accomplish.
  • Decades of Collective Experience – From scaling a business to accomplishing a billion-dollar exit – You’re in good company
  • Relationships beyond the event itself
