ACG Strengthens Connectivity Across North America with New Integrated Canadian Membership Platform

Chicago, IL – May 28, 2025 – The Association for Corporate Growth^® (ACG), the premier association for the M&A dealmaking community, is proud to announce that the ACG platform is now integrated with the Canadian ACG chapters and will now accept Canadian currency (CAD) for event registrations and membership dues, a significant enhancement to the ACG member experience.

This strategic update reflects ACG’s commitment to deepening engagement with members and facilitating cross-border M&A activity. Supporting CAD currency transactions allows for greater ease and accessibility for Canadian ACG members when participating in events, renewing memberships and engaging with ACG’s robust suite of online resources.

“This upgrade isn’t just about currency—it’s about connection,” said Brent Baxter, CEO of ACG. “Our Canadian chapters are among the most vibrant and engaged in our network. Enabling transactions in Canadian dollars is a practical but powerful way to honor that engagement and invest in deeper cross-border collaboration.”

With strong chapters in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, ACG plays a vital role in the country’s middle-market ecosystem. With CAD currency support now live, the ACG community in Canada can enjoy a more seamless experience, while continuing to connect with ACG’s expansive network of professionals across Canada, the U.S. and beyond.

“We have seen a growing interest among U.S. dealmakers in attending our events across Canada, and we know many of our members are regular participants in ACG events hosted in the United States,” said Ben Gibbons, chief investment officer at Waterpoint Lane and a past chairman of the ACG Toronto board of directors. “Having a common platform will make fostering those connections even easier and yield new opportunities for M&A professionals on both sides of the border.”

This enhancement is part of ACG’s ongoing digital transformation and commitment to delivering value for members through tech-forward modernization, accessibility and global alignment.
