Agenda

For Travel Arrangements: ACG Atlanta suggests you arrive in Atlanta in the morning of Monday, February 1^st, and depart late afternoon on Wednesday, February 3^rd. We do not expect major changes to the agenda for 2027, but we will be adding events and opportunities as we celebrate the 25^th Anniversary of M&A South.

Please email acgatlanta@acg.org with any panel/roundtable topics you would be interested in attending. 

CONFLICTING EVENTS – M&A SOUTH
To be fair to all attendees and protect the investment of all conference sponsors, all sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees agree not to create or promote outside activities or events that conflict with elements of the official posted conference agenda of the M&A SOUTH Conference.  Sponsors, exhibitors, and registered attendees found to violate ACG Atlanta policies and agreements voluntarily forfeit all of the remainder of the sponsor, exhibitor, and event attendee benefits that were to be provided to them.
