ACG NY DealMaker Series Fall Edition

ACG New York’s DealMaker Series Fall Edition runs Tuesday, October 27, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM EDT at the New York Athletic Club, 180 Central Park South. The quarterly franchise combines the chapter’s PE/IB networking series and strategic acquirer series into an intimate evening for private equity executives, investment bankers, corporate development officers, lenders, and invited guests. Fall programming focuses on AI’s impact on portfolio companies: where tools drive efficiency and reporting, where they complement rather than replace human capital, and how investors measure results before or after an acquisition. Expect a paced peer conversation rather than a keynote stack.

Host copy is explicit about the gate. The series is open only to fund managers, investment bankers, lenders, and corporate strategic acquirers, and registrations can be revoked if you do not fit. Member tickets list around $250 and non-member around $275. That is the Circuit filter for senior middle-market deal density in Midtown, not a general Asian professional mixer. Program details can still shift closer to the date; treat the AI portfolio theme as the current frame and re-check the ACG page before you block the evening.

This is right for PE, IB, lender, and corporate development operators who already sit in middle-market deal flow and can contribute a real portfolio AI question. Skip it if you are early-career, fundraising as a seed founder, or looking for a public AAPI leadership conference. Central Park South evening logistics and Athletic Club door protocols matter; arrive with confirmation and dress for the room.

If the October 6 Family Office & LP Series is your capital-introduction night, use DealMaker for peer PE and IB conversation later in the month rather than stacking two ACG dinners without a clear ask. Register on acg.org/nyc only after you confirm audience fit, and email nycadmin@acg.org if the chapter’s materials page still says program details forthcoming.
