ACG NY Summer Bash 2026

ACG New York’s Annual Summer Bash is the chapter’s signature mid-market dealmaker networking night for private capital, M&A advisers, corporate executives, and adjacent service providers. The Association for Corporate Growth is a global middle-market deal community; New York’s summer bash is framed as one of the chapter’s most anticipated rooms of the year, open to members and non-members, with indoor and outdoor space at the CBIZ Midtown office. The format is conversation, food, and drinks, not a keynote. If you work New York middle-market deal flow, this is association density rather than a retail mixer.

ACG New York hosts; CBIZ, the accounting and advisory firm, is lending 730 Third Avenue. The event is listed rain or shine, with both indoor and outdoor spaces. A membership promotion sits next to the ticket table: join ACG New York as a new member, or as a returning member whose membership lapsed, by August 25 and the chapter will comp the bash (email dsheptin@acg.org after you join). If you already bought a ticket and then join, the chapter says the ticket price will be fully refunded. Register on the ACG New York event page.

Go if middle-market M&A, private capital, or adjacent advisory is your daily work and you can pay association rates. Skip if you need a free civic mixer, a screened AI builder demo, or a FilAm expo floor. A concise practice or fund introduction beats a long pitch. The $225 guest tier exists because non-members are welcome; the room still assumes you already sit near deals.

Tuesday, August 25, 2026, 6:00 to 8:00 PM EDT at CBIZ, 730 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017. Midtown Third Avenue is straightforward on transit; still leave buffer for office-building security. The same tower geography hosted Ascend New York Metro at TIAA on August 18; this is a different host and a different office. Sunday polo with ACG Connecticut on August 30 is the field-side version of the same ACG network.

Listed pricing: $150 ACG Forward members, $175 ACG members, and $225 non-members. ACG Forward is the chapter’s younger membership track. Read rain-or-shine notes on the event page if you care about the outdoor space. Do not assume a door ticket. Greenwich Polo Club on August 30 is the weekend close if you want the cabana version after this Midtown night.
