São Paulo 2026: M&A Worldwide Heads to Latin America for a Landmark Convention

This November, M&A Worldwide will reach an important milestone as the network holds its first-ever Convention in Latin America. Hosted by Galápagos Capital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 4–7 November 2026, the event marks a significant step in strengthening the network’s presence across one of the world’s most dynamic M&A regions.

For more than 20 years, M&A Worldwide has connected independent M&A advisors through its commitment to combining global reach with local expertise. Bringing the Convention to Brazil reflects the growing importance of Latin America in cross-border transactions and the increasing opportunities for collaboration between members worldwide.

The 2026 Convention has been designed with a strong focus on creating new business opportunities. Over four days, members will have the chance to strengthen existing relationships, build new connections, exchange market intelligence, and identify cross-border co-mandates with colleagues from across the network.

One of the key highlights of this year’s programme will be the participation of several leading Brazilian companies with established international operations. These companies are actively exploring acquisition opportunities abroad as part of their global expansion strategies, allowing members to meet potential acquirers, understand their investment objectives, and discuss future collaboration on international transactions.

The Convention will also bring together the largest gathering of Latin American M&A advisors ever assembled within the M&A Worldwide network. With representatives from across the region expected to attend, participants will have a unique opportunity to establish trusted relationships with local advisors in multiple markets, creating a strong foundation for future cross-border mandates throughout Latin America.

In addition to structured networking sessions and business meetings, the programme will include presentations on the Latin American economy, regional M&A activity, and sector trends, offering valuable insights into one of the world’s most promising investment regions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience Sao Paulo, the financial and business centre of Latin America, and gain a deeper understanding of its vibrant corporate landscape.

As always, the Convention agenda is being carefully designed to maximise meaningful interaction between members while providing valuable market perspectives and practical opportunities to generate new business.

The 2026 M&A Worldwide Convention promises to be much more than an annual gathering. It represents an opportunity to strengthen international partnerships, expand access to new markets, and create the relationships that lead to future cross-border transactions.

We look forward to welcoming our members to Sao Paulo this November for what promises to be a truly memorable edition of the M&A Worldwide Convention.
