ACG San Francisco‘s M&A West took place from May 29-31 at the Meritage Resort & Spa in Napa, California. The event drew 373 attendees and marked a 57% increase in private equity and investment banking registrations for DealSource compared to the previous year. There were 1,188 meetings confirmed, underscoring the event’s popularity.
This year, an exclusive wine tasting session held before the opening reception replaced the traditional Capital Connection and was a major hit among private equity and investment banking professionals. Another new feature—an afterglow cigar, whisky and port party—provided a relaxing end to the day’s events.
Panels this year featured discussions on clean tech innovations and CFO hiring. A major draw was the family office panel, where the owner of the Sacramento Kings shared his insights on investments in blockchain technology, sports and wine. A delightful surprise came in the form of MC Hammer, who crashed the event and added a touch of unexpected excitement.
Mark your calendars: M&A West will be hosted again at the Meritage Resort & Spa on May 28-30, 2025.
