The South Atlantic is home to a variety of industries, from transportation to investment banking. Those industries are reflected in the area's Association for Corporate Growth chapters.

Each chapter has strengths, which it uses to engage dealmakers. The biggest area chapter, ACG Atlanta, organizes the Atlanta ACG Capital Conference, hosting more than 1,000 dealmakers. Other South Atlantic chapters include ACG Charlotte, ACG Maryland, ACG National Capital, ACG Raleigh Durham and ACG Richmond.
