'Virtual Louisville' to host 2021 Mid-South ACG Capital Connection

Backdrop for joint Kentucky/Tennessee M&A event highlights city's charms

LOUISVILLE (April 15, 2021) -- The Mid-South ACG Capital Connection, an annual event that brings together professionals who plan, finance, and carry out transactions that grow companies and their communities, returns to Louisville this June 17-18.

Hosted virtually in Louisville and highlighting the city's many attractions -- bourbon and racing in particular -- Mid-South is the deal nexus for a rich cross-section of private equity professionals, mezzanine lenders, investment bankers, service providers and corporate executives and entrepreneurs.

"It’s a very convenient way for professionals to grow their networks, discover new ideas, build business relationships, secure capital and bring value for the companies they represent," said Brad Smith, chairman of the 2021 event and managing partner of MCM CPAs and Advisors. "It's an ideal way to channel business passion with a resolve for achieving strategic results."

In its 12th year and co-produced by the Tennessee and Kentucky chapters of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Mid-South brings together hundreds of professionals who focus on investment capital and corporate growth needs. The event alternates between Louisville and Nashville each year.

This year, the conference strives to bring the distinct Louisville flavor and genteel hospitality to the event with an "At the Races" kickoff and later, a curated premium bourbon-tasting reception. The conference continues its popular private equity marketplace, investment banking connection meetings, expert speaker panels exploring key trends, small group networking lounges, and participant access to schedule one-on-one meetings with virtually any conference attendee.

Registration is open now, and participation fees vary by registration class (private equity groups, investment bankers, ACG members and non-member professionals.) Register at: https://tinyurl.com/2021MidSouthCapConn
