Annual dealmaker gathering set for May 11-12 at Omni Nashville

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NASHVILLE -- The Mid-South ACG Capital Connection returns to Tennessee in a big way this May 11-12.

Held virtually in 2021 and cancelled in 2020 because of COVID, organizers for the 2022 conference are expecting a strong contingent of investment banks, private equity firms, lenders, corporate executives and professional advisors from across the country to converge on Omni Nashville for the two-day M&A “Scaling New Heights” event.

It’s a great opportunity to uncover new trends and ideas, secure capital, network with like-minded professionals and bring value to your company

"It’s a great opportunity to uncover new trends and ideas, secure capital, network with like-minded professionals and bring value to your company," said Tatjana Paterno, chair of the 2022 event and partner at Bass Berry & Sims PLC. “We are very excited about this event and look forward to seeing our attendees in person in just a few weeks.”

ACG is expecting to exceed the event’s previous high, when more than 500 professionals from across the U.S. registered to attend Mid-South ACG Capital Connection in person. “We are receiving great feedback and a lot of anticipation for this annual event,” said Jim Dickson, ACG Tennessee chair and senior vice president of Lockton. “Everyone’s more than ready to attend.”

Staged jointly by the Tennessee and Kentucky chapters of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), the conference assists M&A dealmakers in identifying funding sources and advisory professionals who support transactions through accounting, legal, valuation and other services.
