We are pleased to announce the 2023-2024 Class of ACG Los Angeles’ Rising Stars Program! ACG Los Angeles is proud to collaborate with our annual sponsors, committees, and members to support this transformative program, ACG Rising Stars.


This marks the eleventh year of our commitment to nurturing early career professionals in the fields of corporate growth, corporate development, and mergers & acquisitions. Over the years, we've seen more than 150 participants, including attorneys, capital providers, investment bankers, private equity investors, and service providers, benefit from the program's rich content and networking opportunities.


Our Rising Stars kicked off their journey on Thursday, November 9th with a lively networking cocktail reception, graciously hosted by our annual sponsor, Intrepid. It was a fantastic evening of celebration and connection, setting the tone for the exciting journey ahead.


This year's program, comprised of seven sessions, is designed to supercharge the networking efforts of young M&A professionals. We're introducing innovative topics and speakers to boost professional development and deepen understanding of the Middle Market.


Topics include:

πŸ”Ή Networking best practices

πŸ”Ή Unique marketing strategies

πŸ”Ή Investment Banking insights

πŸ”Ή Leadership development


Our Rising Stars are top players in their firms with 5+ years of experience, a strong command of their business, and a desire to network and be active in ACG. They are committed to attending the series of events and being engaged participants.
