CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Welcome
On behalf of the Dallas/ Fort Worth, Houston and Central Texas chapters
of the Association for Corporate Growth, welcome to the 2017 Texas ACG
Capital Connection (“TACC”). Now in its 14th year, the TACC continues to be
one of the premier middle market-focused M&A events in North America.
We hope you were able to participate in some of our Day One activities, CHAIRS
including the Women’s Luncheon, the TACC DealSource, our Opening
Reception and the VIP Party. They each represent unique and fun
opportunities to share ideas and forge new business relationships.
We are honored to have a distinguished keynote speaker with us today
– Dr. Pippa Malmgren, a bestselling author, public speaker and economic
advisor who helps connect the dots, bringing together insights about
markets, politics, policy and geopolitics that signal important and investable
trends. We are certain you will enjoy hearing from Pippa.
Our biggest goal today is to help you connect with dealmakers so you
can source and close your next deal. To that end, we’ve structured our
Capital Connection Marketplace as the centerpiece of the TACC. The
Capital Connection Marketplace showcases over 100 middle market private
equity and mezzanine capital groups from across the United States. With
leading M&A professionals, business owners, and c-level and corporate
development executives from across Texas and beyond, we expect nearly TACC CO-CHAIR:
1,300 attendees today. We encourage you to take full advantage of the day
to network, share ideas, and most importantly, put capital to work. Sean Murphy
Principal
We would like to thank our exhibitors and conference sponsors for their Deal Advisory Private Equity
generous support of this conference. The continued commitment to the KPMG LLP
TACC by these key constituents is further evidence that Texas and the sdmurphy@kpmg.com
Southwest remain a preeminent player in the North American M&A market.
Finally, thank you to all of the members of the conference planning
committee, the volunteers, and the regional ACG chapter leadership for
their dedication and hard work; without them, the TACC would not be the
success it is.
Enjoy today’s activities, and we look forward to seeing you throughout the
day.
TACC CO-CHAIR:
Sincerely, Jeff Noland
