AXIS Leaders Summit

I am honored to be co-chairing the AXIS (Acquisition & eXpansion in Information Services) Leaders Summit, a curated gathering of executives, founders, investors, and advisors shaping the future of the information services sector. It will bring together leaders from across the data analytics ecosystem to cut through the hype and define the real opportunities, strategies and economics of the AI era.

A pre-event kick-off networking session will take place on June 3rd, 2026, followed by the main event on June 4th, 2026 in Manhattan. The venue (it’s a great spot) will be announced with the sponsorship launch.

This event fills a void in the sector. We’ve all been to industry banking conferences, PE firm investor days, and corporate-specific events. But a neutral forum that brings together dealmakers, bankers, and info services companies of all shapes and sizes - it’s something we ourselves have been wanting and have heard from the market is a gap.
