2026 ACG NY DealMaker Series - Fall Edition

Event Secondary Body ACG NY DealSource Series The AI Advantage:Unlocking Value in Private Equity Portfolio Companies Join ACG New York on October 27 for the Fall Edition of the DealMaker Series , an exclusive evening designed for private equity executives, investment bankers, corporate development officers, lenders, and invited guests. As part of this premier quarterly networking series, the event offers an intimate setting where senior middle-market dealmakers can strengthen relationships, exchange market perspectives, and engage in meaningful conversations with industry peers. This fall, the conversation will focus on AI and its growing impact on portfolio companies, exploring how dealmakers and management teams are using AI to drive efficiency, enhance reporting, strengthen marketing efforts, and create measurable value. Discussion will examine where AI can complement—not replace—human capital, and the practical applications and limitations of AI-enabled tools. Attendees will also explore the evolving AI landscape across portfolio companies, including which tools are delivering results today, whether companies are adopting AI before or after an acquisition, and how investors and operators can measure AI’s impact through performance, efficiency, and other quantifiable metrics.
