Mayor Stephen Mandel and newly appointed EEDC chief Brad Ferguson are slated to address a noon business luncheon in the Westin Hotel’s Manitoba Room today.

The event is sponsored by the Association for Corporate Growth. ACG has 56 chapters and over 14,000 members worldwide. It recently established an Edmonton chapter, its third in Canada alongside Toronto and Calgary.

ACG’s members include private equity professionals, investment bankers and their intermediaries, lawyers, accountants, lenders, and corporate development officers, says David Hardy, Chair of ACG’s new Edmonton group.

In view of the city’s rapid economic growth and high average disposable income levels, ACG regards Edmonton as one of the most attractive locations to invest in North America and the world.

Hardy can be reached at (780)953-4273 or by email at:dhardy@franvest.ca

Be wary. This sounds suspiciously like a Yes Men-style prank.
