Utah’s business landscape is dynamic and rapidly evolving, and at the heart of its growth lies the Intermountain DealSource Summit. This premier event, hosted by ACG Utah, returned in February for its 22nd year, delivering an impactful gathering for the region’s investors, business leaders, and industry experts.
Imagine a day where seasoned dealmakers deepen their networks, emerging businesses gain invaluable insights, and strategic partnerships are forged. That’s precisely what the DealSource Summit delivers. With a track record of success, the event has become a cornerstone for those looking to shape the future of Utah’s market.
“If you’re looking for the perfect mix of dealmaking and networking in Utah, ACG’s DealSource Summit does not disappoint,” says Geoff Loos, a Utah-based investment banker, echoing the sentiments of many who have experienced the event’s unparalleled networking opportunities.
The 2025 summit also highlighted the Utah market with a presentation of the prestigious Deal of the Year Awards, celebrating the region’s most significant transactions. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a business operator new to the space, the Intermountain DealSource Summit is your gateway to impactful networking, strategic deal-making, and forward-thinking discussions designed to accelerate growth and innovation.
The numbers speak for themselves. This year’s summit drew over 300 attendees, including representatives from 42 private equity funds, 34 investment banks, and 60 lenders. More than 400 meetings were scheduled, facilitating deal flow across a broad spectrum of target deal sizes, from $1 million to $249 million. This level of engagement underscores the summit’s effectiveness in connecting key players and driving business growth.
