2026 Spring Dealmakers Connection

Join us for ACG Chicago's most exclusive event, bringing together 50+ senior level private equity investors, family office executives, and investment bankers from across the country for unparalleled networking & dealmaking.

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Spring Dealmakers Connection, this year’s program expands to include a DealSource component—creating even more opportunities for purposeful connections within the middle-market deal community.

The program begins with structured DealSource meetings powered by meeting-matching software, allowing Private Equity and Investment Bankers to schedule meetings with one another in advance. Participants will take part in a series of 20-minute, one-on-one meetings, with the opportunity to hold up to nine meetings during the program.

Following the DealSource session, attendees will continue the conversation at a networking reception on the 66th floor of Willis Tower. With sweeping views of Chicago and Lake Michigan, the reception offers a relaxed setting to reconnect with meeting partners, meet new contacts, and continue building trusted relationships across the middle-market deal ecosystem.
