M&A South 2024 - Sponsorship Prospectus

2024 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Updated August 2024

WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE OUR SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE WITH YOU FOR THE M&A SOUTH 2024

The 22nd annual edition of M&A South, the preeminent sourcing, networking, and educational event for dealmakers in the Southern United States is set for February 5-7, 2024, at The Hotel at Avalon. We are planning another high-quality and high-impact event that will allow for great networking and learning opportunities.

M&A South 2024 will offer the premier experience our audience expects from ACG Atlanta. Our event in February will have ample outdoor spaces in our tent and throughout the venue.

It will be supplemented with additional meeting tables and content allowing your brand to be presented in more ways than ever before.

Thanks to the wonderful, consistent support of our sponsors, M&A South has become the #1 dealmaking event in the South. As the first major M&A conference of the year, M&A South provides a prime opportunity for participants to fill their deal pipelines and gain valuable insights from industry thought leaders. Sponsors like yourselves capitalize on this unique environment with opportunities to market their brands and M&A-related capabilities to an attractive audience of senior dealmakers and capital providers.

We appreciate your support and consideration and look forward to having you as an M&A South sponsor in 2024!

Best regards, Laura Shen Chair, M&A South 2024
