SoCal ETA Conference by UCLA Anderson

The SoCal ETA Conference is Southern California’s premier event for aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, operators, and students passionate about Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). Hosted in partnership by the UCLA Anderson ETA Club and the USC Marshall ETA Club, the 2025 conference brings together leading voices from across the search fund ecosystem for a full day of actionable insights, relationship-building, and community connection.

With participation from top schools including UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, Loyola Marymount, and Pepperdine, this event offers two parallel tracks designed to support both first-time searchers and experienced operators. Attendees will explore topics like sourcing strategies, deal structures, post-acquisition operations, value creation, and leadership in acquired businesses.

Whether you're preparing to launch a search fund, actively operating a small business, or seeking opportunities to invest in the next generation of CEOs, the SoCal ETA Conference is a must-attend event.
