NEW ORLEANS — ACG Louisiana, a statewide organization connecting professionals in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and corporate growth, will host its signature event, the 2025 ACG Louisiana DealSource Reception & Taste of New Orleans.
The event will take place on Thursday, October 23, 2025, from 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CDT at the Four Seasons Hotel in New Orleans, bringing together leading investors, advisors, and business executives for an evening of networking, fine food, and conversation.
Part of the global Association for Corporate Growth network, ACG Louisiana supports middle-market business growth by fostering relationships among dealmakers, capital providers, and company leaders who drive mergers, acquisitions, and expansion across the state and region.
Event Schedule & Format
The afternoon will begin with the DealSource Reception from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., an invitation-only session reserved for event sponsors, private equity firms, and investment banking participants. This exclusive pre-event gathering serves as a “pre-deal” networking forum where participants can align on opportunities and establish key introductions before the evening program.
At 5:00 p.m., the focus shifts to the Taste of New Orleans, a dinner experience blending curated local cuisine, wine pairings, and live jazz. Designed to encourage both formal and informal connections, the dinner invites guests to “uncork their potential” while dining and mingling in the Four Seasons Hotel’s elegant surroundings at 2 Canal Street.
