Young ACG

The Young ACG initiative is geared towards younger members to assist firms in grooming rising stars in their companies by providing education and professional development as well as helping them to build deal networks. Our Young ACG program enables young professionals to network with similar colleagues in the M&A community and build quality connections. In addition, educational events will be held geared specifically for the development of these M&A young professionals.

Added benefit to YACG Members beginning October 2024:

ACG University: ACGU will provide young professionals with a valuable tool for future M&A dealmaking. A team comprised of some of the region’s most successful and experienced M&A dealmakers and deal advisors will lead a series of lectures, discussions and interactive breakout sessions exploring all aspects of M&A deals. The program immerses young deal professionals (representing different functions within the deal process) into the life cycle of a transaction, teaching the key elements of sourcing, valuing, financing, negotiating, structuring and closing a deal.
