2027 PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Updated July 2026 v1
WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE OUR PARTNERSHIP PACKAGES WITH YOU FOR THE M&A SOUTH 2027
The 25th annual edition of M&A South, the preeminent sourcing, networking, and educational event for dealmakers in the Southern United States is set for February 1-3, 2027, at The Hotel at Avalon. This silver anniversary year will be another highquality and high-impact event that will allow for great networking and learning opportunities while offering the premier experience our audience expects from ACG Atlanta. Our event in February will have ample space throughout the venue for connecting, meeting, and dealmaking. Thanks to our partner’s wonderful, consistent support, M&A South has become the #1 dealmaking event in the South. As the first major M&A conference of the calendar year, this event provides a prime opportunity for participants to fill their deal pipelines and gain valuable insights from industry thought leaders. Partners like you and your firms capitalize on this unique environment by leveraging opportunities to market their brands and M&A-related capabilities to an attractive audience of senior dealmakers and capital providers. The event will be supplemented with pre-event social media marketing that highlights our partner firms’ participation and support, while also empowering additional engagement with attendees and others in the ACG ecosystem. Partnership also affords the opportunity for additional meeting tables and content curation, allowing your brand to be presented in more ways than ever. We appreciate your support and consideration and look forward to having you as an M&A South partner in 2027! Best regards, John McCarty Managing Director, Star Mountain Capital Chair, M&A South 2027
