TERMS & CONDITIONS.

Berkadia's Dealmakers Summit is a complimentary, application-only event. No tickets are sold, and there is no application fee.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the Event reaches capacity. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, an invitation, admission, or future participation.

Miami Dealmakers may accept, decline, or waitlist an application at its discretion, subject to applicable law. Decisions may be based on professional background, experience, relevance to the Event, community composition, available capacity, and other Event-related considerations.

An invitation is personal to the approved applicant and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, or used by another person without Miami Dealmakers’ prior written approval.

Applicants must provide accurate and complete information. Miami Dealmakers may withdraw an invitation or refuse admission if information provided in an application is false, misleading, incomplete, or submitted on behalf of another person.

Attendees may be required to present valid photo identification matching the name on their approved application.

Miami Dealmakers reserves the right to refuse admission or remove any person whose conduct is disruptive, unsafe, unlawful, inappropriate, or inconsistent with these Terms or the purpose of the Event.

The Event’s date, time, venue, schedule, speakers, participants, programming, format, and other details will be posted on the official website or communicated to approved applicants.

The website, application, social-media accounts, and other promotional materials may include photographs, videos, names, clips, or other content from the Miami Dealmakers podcast, previous events, and past Miami Dealmakers activities. Individuals appearing in those materials—including podcast guests, speakers, and prior attendees—are not necessarily invited, confirmed, or scheduled to participate in the upcoming Berkadia's Dealmakers Summit. Their appearance does not represent or imply their participation in, sponsorship of, or endorsement of the Event. Only individuals expressly identified by Miami Dealmakers as confirmed participants should be considered confirmed.

Images and recordings from previous events may be used to illustrate the general nature and atmosphere of Miami Dealmakers events and may not depict the venue, participants, programming, or experience of the upcoming Event.

Miami Dealmakers may change, postpone, relocate, shorten, reschedule, cancel, or modify the Event or any part of it at any time. Speakers, participants, programming, venue details, and other Event features are subject to change without notice.

Because the Event is complimentary, attendees are not entitled to refunds or compensation if the Event is changed, postponed, or canceled.

Miami Dealmakers is not responsible for travel, lodging, meals, transportation, lost wages, or other expenses incurred in connection with applying for or attending the Event.

Attendees must behave professionally and respectfully and comply with instructions from Miami Dealmakers, the venue, security personnel, and Event staff.

Miami Dealmakers may refuse admission or remove an attendee without compensation for violating these Terms or engaging in conduct that Miami Dealmakers reasonably considers unsafe, disruptive, inappropriate, or harmful to the Event or its participants.
