How to Host a Table
There are several options for hosting a table during DealMAX: Sponsorship, Dedicated Tables, and Investment Banking Deal Tables.
Sponsorship – Most sponsorships include space in the DealMAX Lounge and/or within the host hotel. Additional sponsorship benefits vary by level. There are no eligibility requirements to sponsor at DealMAX. Contact Kaitlyn Gregorio at kgregorio@acg.org for more information.
Investment Banking Deal Tables – One complimentary table with seating for four in the DealMAX Lounge is included in the Investment Banker registration for qualified investment banking firms. A limited quantity is available on a first come, first served basis. Firms that wish to purchase a second Deal Table may do so during registration, or by emailing events@acg.org. If looking for additional meeting space as an investment banker, reach out to kgregorio@acg.org for sponsorship options.
Dedicated Tables – Available for purchase through registration, this is your reserved meeting space for the entire conference. Located just outside the Deal Tables room on Level 1, these tables include seating for four and beverages available throughout the day. There is a limited supply of tables, so be sure to secure yours early.
Confirmation Email & Receipt
You will receive an email confirmation immediately after your registration has been submitted. Please contact Showcare at acg@showcare.com if a confirmation email does not arrive within 24 hours.
Registration Not Appearing in MyACG Dashboard
Due to the complex nature of DealMAX registration and housing, ACG uses a separate registration system for the event. As such, DealMAX registration is NOT reflected on the MyACG dashboard when logged into your ACG account.
Colleague Replacement
Name changes should be made by March 4, 2025 to avoid hotel reservation challenges. Both registrants (the original registrant and the replacement) must be included in the communication. The hotel reservation must be updated directly with ARIA, if name change is made after March 4. To change the name on your registration, please send an email to acg@showcare.com with the name of the individual who will be taking your place. Please also include the new attendee’s contact information for follow-up information.
Please note: registration substitution (i.e., name change) does not automatically change the corresponding hotel reservation after March 4.
DealMAX Companion Rate
We do not have a special companion rate for companion/spouse registrations. All guests must register at the full conference rate.
