Association for Corporate Growth

Founded in 1954, ACG has grown to more than 14,500 members from corporations, private equity, finance, and professional service firms representing Fortune 1000, FTSE 100, and mid-market companies.

These chapters meet regularly, support events and provide a forum for senior-level M&A professionals to network, share best practices and source deals.

It is the world's largest dealmakers conference, attracting more than 2,000 middle market M&A professionals who attend to network, source deals and learn practices in M&A.

The ACG Cup is a case study competition designed to give students from leading MBA programs across the country real world experience and insights into mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity.

Each case study provides students with a unique opportunity to present valuation, capital markets and M&A strategic advice to a panel of M&A professionals from within the ACG community.
