We are honored to have you in attendance. We are excited to present an impressive roster of speakers, featuring President Bill Clinton as well as a number of well-respected industry CEOs.

Our keynotes and panels will discuss the current business landscape, deliver insightful remarks and viewpoints on the state of M&A, and explore economic and world issues. Our breakout sessions, led by our Gold Sponsors, will focus on three industry verticals; healthcare, branded consumer products and aerospace & defense. In addition, the ACG LA Conference holds two of the nation’s most dynamic deal flow events - Capital Connection and Deal Source. These are must-attend events for the deal community and we highly encourage you to explore the various business opportunities that await at these events. Capital Connection has more than 100 exhibiting capital providers, and for the first time in the history of our Conference, we have a sold out Deal Source event.

WOMEN’S FORUM
ILANA EDELSTEIN Author of The Patrón Way – From Fantasy to Fortune; Lessons on Taking Any Business from Idea to Iconic Brand To help market her new venture, she became a senior associate with Teachers Financial Services in 2003. In this capacity, she conducts in-school workshop presentations for all employees, to educate and advise them on their retirement and savings benefit packages, then guides them in risk-free no-charge investments. She currently has hundreds of long standing clients, positioned to consummate secure and dignified retirements.
Ilana Edelstein was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa during apartheid. Her parents, one of whom was an Auschwitz survivor, died when she was just 18. Feeling she had no future in South Africa, she left for New York arriving in 1979 with nothing more than $200 in her pocket and a suitcase. Ms. Edelstein continued on to Los Angeles reuniting with her only remaining family. There, she landed on the doorstep of legendary Hollywood publicist, Norman Winter, who agreed to sponsor her in securing a green card and permanent US residency in exchange for becoming his personal assistant.
In 1988 Ilana met and fell in love with Mr. Martin Crowley, and soon thereafter the world’s number one selling ultra premium tequila was born. This is her story of their love child, Patrón. An unsung heroine in building the brand that changed the face of the liquor industry, was involved every step of the way, from the ingenious and unprecedented marketing strategies to each complex detail of its finance and operations. Patrón and the lifestyle associated with the brand became synonymous with Ilana and Martin and the powerful connection they shared.
After a five year stint with Mr. Winter, she moved on to work for her brother-in-law’s fledgling office supply company in LA where she launched their commercial division, building relationships and supplying major accounts, including the movie studios. Feeling the entrepreneur’s call, Ilana went on to get licensed and became a financial advisor to teachers. She established herself by building their retirement accounts, eventually starting her company, IE Financial Services, now in its 21st year.

“There’s really no difference between law firms.” Many people believe that all corporate attorneys are pretty much the same. We don't. We believe that what separates us from the pack is not what we do, but how we do it – aggressive not conservative, team players not one-man-bands, problem solvers not just legal practitioners. We get deals done. Our clients understand and value this difference. How can we help you? Contact one of our corporate practice group leaders: Jon Newby at 310.228.3737, David Sands at 213.617.5536, Randy Short at 415.774.2942.
