CVBBA Conferences & Events

Thrive in ’25: A Record-Setting CVBBA Conference
The CVBBA’s Thrive in ’25 Conference, held September 23–25, 2025, delivered one of our most successful events to date. With record-breaking attendance, exceptional sponsor participation, and an expanded lineup of 28+ educational sessions and IBBA courses, the conference offered unmatched value for business brokers and deal partners across the Carolinas and Virginia
Our keynote speakers provided fresh inspiration – Sonya Waddell offered sharp economic insights, and Larry Long Jr. delivered the motivational spark to “Jolt!” our members into action.
Trivia Night brought a fun sense of camaraderie, and comedian Andy Forrester kept the momentum high with plenty of laughter. It all came together to create a conference that educated, inspired, and connected our members for success.
We extend our gratitude to our sponsors, Board of Directors, committees, and attendees – your dedication made this event a success.
Building on the success of the 2025 conference, we’re excited to bring everyone together again in 2026 for another exceptional conference experience. Save the date: September 22–24, 2026, at the same great location – Embassy Suites, Cary, North Carolina.
