The Gathering
May 13, 2026 · Midland, TX
The Gathering is where the Crüe Club format scales up.
80 operators. Multiple simultaneous roundtables. A curated group of service partners sharing real stories of success and case studies — not pitches.
Same energy as the dinner table. Bigger room. Broader network.
Houston / DFW · Aug / Sep 2026
The Deal Room
The Deal Room is an operator-only event built for one purpose — connection and deal flow in the A&D space.
No service companies. No distractions. Just operators looking to open doors, explore opportunity, and move deals forward.
Tickets available. Space is limited.
Coming Soon
