Welcome to ACG Chicago

ACG Chicago is a leader in the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) global network of over 12,000 professionals. The ACG Chicago mission is to be the premier network in Northern Illinois for experts and decision-making professionals focused on strategies for increasing stakeholder value.

More than 1,000 foremost authorities in their fields comprise this diverse and knowledgeable Chicago network of corporate executives, capital sources, corporate advisors and service providers. The Board of over 45 dedicated members along with over 100 other committee members focus on the needs of these professionals to build unparalleled opportunities for networking, deal-making, personal growth and professional development.

To fully address corporate growth in the Midwest, ACG Chicago has targeted four markets:

Our M&A/PE Network has been long recognized for its strength in the middle-market mergers and acquisitions / private equity community.
The Corporate Network is comprised of senior executives of public and private companies throughout the Chicago area that foster strategic and organic growth.
The International Network is designed for those corporate development officers and professionals involved in cross-border growth and transactions.
The Venture / Cleantech Network has been developed over the last three years as the Board recognized the evolving importance of this sector in our next stages of economic development.
