For two days each September, the Beverly Hilton Hotel becomes the center of the West Coast business universe. The ACG LA Business Conference is a Southern California tradition, where the most influential dealmakers, executives and professionals in the region come together to discuss their industries. It’s where deals are struck and partnerships are born. Last year’s Conference drew more than 1,700 attendees and over 170 Capital Connection participants, including private equity groups and other capital providers from around the country.

The Conference also draws high-profile guest speakers – from heads of state (John Major) to heads of companies (Michael Eisner) to national news anchors (Dan Rather) to political strategists (Karl Rove) to  sports legends (Earvin “Magic” Johnson).

 If you do business in Southern California, this is your event. Don’t miss it.

Save the date! This year’s Annual ACG LA Business Conference will be held September 15 and 16 at the Beverly Hilton. Visit the ACG LA Business Conference website for more information. 

Every year, the ACG LA Business Conference attracts some of the brightest luminaries from business, politics, media and sports. Following is a sampling of keynote speakers from the past several years:
