M&A West 2024 Review:
Middle Market Growth Review of M&A West 2024:
ACG San Francisco‘s M&A West took place from May 29-31 at the Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, California. The event drew 373 attendees and marked a 57% increase in private equity and investment banking registrations for DealSource compared to the previous year. There were 1,188 meetings confirmed, underscoring the event’s popularity.
ACG San Francisco’s M&A West
This year, an exclusive wine tasting session held before the opening reception replaced the traditional Capital Connection and was a major hit among private equity and investment banking professionals. Another new feature—an afterglow cigar, whisky and port party—provided a relaxing end to the day’s events.
Panels this year featured discussions on clean tech innovations and CFO hiring. A major draw was the family office panel, where the owner of the Sacramento Kings shared his insights on investments in blockchain technology, sports and wine. A delightful surprise came in the form of MC Hammer, who crashed the event and added a touch of unexpected excitement.
Mark your calendars: M&A West will be hosted again at the Meritage Resort & Spa on May 28-30, 2025.
