Common questions about events

Do I need to be on Rejigg to meet the team at a conference?

No. Come as you are. Most of the people we meet at events aren't on the platform yet, and plenty never end up needing it.

Can Rejigg get me a discount on tickets?

Sometimes. When an organizer gives us a code for our community, it shows in the event’s details on this page. If there’s no code listed, we don’t have one.

Which events are best for owners versus buyers?

Most ETA and search-fund conferences are buyer-heavy: buyers, investors, and lenders. Owners get the most out of operator-focused gatherings. Use the audience filter above; every event is tagged.

I run an event. How do I get it listed here?

Email support@rejigg.com with the event name, dates, city, audience, and registration link. We list events relevant to people buying or selling businesses under about $10M in revenue, whether or not we attend.

Does Rejigg host its own events?

Occasionally we host owner dinners and buyer meetups in cities where the team travels. They are small and invite-based. Check this page for upcoming gatherings.
