The Linville Gathering
■
In October 2026, Colville Group will gather investors, operating partners, leadership, and friends in Linville, North Carolina to celebrate twenty years of partnership, growth, and shared success.
Hosted October 14–16, the gathering will bring together the people and relationships that have shaped Colville over the past two decades. Set against the backdrop of the North Carolina mountains — a place that holds deep meaning for the Mealy family and the firm’s history — the event is intended to be both celebratory and personal.
Over the two days, guests can expect a thoughtful mix of fellowship, conversations, outdoor experiences, and special events centered around the golf club and surrounding Linville community. While the full schedule is still being finalized, programming will include opportunities to connect with fellow investors, Colville leadership, and longtime friends of the firm.
More than anything, this time is intended as a reflection of what has made Colville possible over the last twenty years: enduring relationships, aligned values, and a long-term approach to building meaningful businesses together.
We look forward to welcoming you to the mountains this October.
