Dallas Petroleum Club
In-person sessions: January 15–16, 2026
Virtual Sessions:
January 22, January 29 & February 5, 2026
This certification kicks off with two immersive, in-person days at the Dallas Petroleum Club, a setting chosen intentionally to create a powerful launch to your learning experience. However, if for any reason you can't attend one or both days in person, the program will be live online and on demand following the live program.
M&A is a relationship-driven discipline — and real dealmaking requires interaction, trust and strategic dialogue. By beginning face-to-face, you will:
Build relationships with fellow professionals, attorneys and financial leaders
Engage directly with instructors in real-time case discussions
Participate in negotiation simulations and deal-scenario exercises
Learn in a dynamic environment designed for senior-level strategic thinking
Starting together in person lays the foundation for the advisory mindset, communication style and analytical rigor required in modern M&A engagements.
After establishing this foundation and peer community, the program transitions seamlessly into three live virtual sessions to deepen technical skills, frameworks and execution strategies — giving you flexibility without sacrificing depth.
This blended format ensures you walk away not only with advanced knowledge, but with real connections and practical experience you can apply immediately in your practice or organization.
