The ACG Mid-South Capital Connection event, hosted by ACG Kentucky and ACG Tennessee, was held June 14-16 at the Omni Louisville Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. The conference brought together over 300 private equity investors, mezzanine lenders, investment bankers, service providers and corporate executives from across the country.

The event featured unique networking experiences that showcased the flavor and heritage of Derby City. Attendees were immersed in the rich atmosphere of Louisville, a city known for the "Business of Bourbonism."

Expert panels offered insights and knowledge on pertinent topics. Industry experts led discussions on trends, challenges and opportunities in the market, providing attendees with valuable perspectives and actionable strategies.

Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, was the opening keynote speaker. Gregory leads an association that promotes Kentucky’s $9 billion distilled spirits industry.  At Mid-South, he discussed bourbon's soaring popularity, new brands, new distilleries and capacity coming online and the latest trends that have contributed to making the bourbon industry the worldwide juggernaut that it has become.
