LEARN BEST PRACTICES. HEAR LATEST TRENDS.

NETWORK WITH PEERS.

The annual conference of the Angel Capital Association provides some of the best content and opportunities for networking with many of the top angels and angel organizations in the country. The theme for the conference is “Angel Investing: From Seed to Harvest.”

The ACA Summit is the largest gathering of angel investors and angel groups in the world. More than 400 accredited investors and leaders in equity investment will gather to share best practices and ideas, discuss the future of six industry verticals, hear the latest ideas on early exits, obtain first ever deal-by-deal data on angel group investment, and network with angel and venture capital peers.

Staying on top of the latest practices and trends is vital to building the angels’ opportunities for great returns. Join us for three days of stimulating presentations, discussion and networking!
