2024 Florida ACG Capital Connection Recap

On behalf of the four Florida ACG chapters, the Florida ACG Capital Connection Committee, Sherry Smith and her staff and myself, Robert Brighton, 2024 Conference Chair, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors for making the 2024 Florida ACG Capital Connection a tremendous success. We not only set a new record with over 1,000 registered participants, but we also enabled more than 5,000 pre-scheduled meetings along with numerous spontaneous discussions.  Many of you shared that you forged valuable connections, helping to replenish your deal pipeline for 2025!

In addition to all the networking opportunities, we hope you found entertainment and insight from our keynote speaker, Kevin O’Leary, also known as “Mr. Wonderful” from Shark Tank. We also trust that Shari Bowers from the Federal Reserve provided you with important perspectives on monetary policy and its impact on your business.  For those who attended we hope that our M&A Update and AI Due Diligence breakouts provided actionable information for your businesses. We are confident you enjoyed the various "extras" that ACG Florida offers, including golf, pickleball, Margarita Mingle, Bourbon & Cigars, Viva La Fiesta, the Water Taxi Tour of the Venice of Florida, and of course, the "Ultimate Poker Face-off."

We hope you took advantage of these, and the other opportunities offered by the Conference to identify your next transaction and will spread the word that the Florida ACG Capital Connection is the "can't miss" destination for dealmakers.  Save the Date to join us on November 4-6, 2025 at JW Grande Lakes in Orlando for the 2025 Florida ACG Capital Connection.
