The LP-first infrastructure forum in London: 150+ institutional allocators, a strict 1:1 GP:LP ratio, and an agenda built around active capital deployment.
The Infrastructure Investor Investor Forum is an annual two-day conference in London produced by PEI Group under its Infrastructure Investor editorial brand. It is designed specifically around institutional capital allocators, with a programme organised to serve pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, and other infrastructure investors rather than fund managers. The 2026 edition is co-located with PERE Europe at Convene 22 Bishopsgate, creating a shared real assets platform across infrastructure and real estate.
Most infrastructure conferences use LPs as decoration: headline speakers who attract GPs paying for sponsorship. The Investor Forum inverts this. PEI Group enforces a 1:1 GP:LP ratio and actively limits commercial noise by structuring the programme around LP decision-making challenges, portfolio construction questions, and manager evaluation frameworks rather than fundraising pitches.
The co-location with PERE Europe from 2026 is a significant structural change. It creates natural adjacency between infrastructure and real estate allocators, enabling joint sessions on real assets convergence, unified teams, and cross-sector allocation. For investors running combined infrastructure and real estate sleeves, this is a material programming upgrade.
The forum sits in the middle of the format spectrum: larger and more structured than an invitation-only LP roundtable, but considerably more curated and allocator-weighted than the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit. Access for GPs is real but calibrated.
Confirmed institutional LP types include public pension funds (AustralianSuper, Ontario Teachers, PGGM, USS), sovereign wealth funds (GIC, Abu Dhabi Investment Council), and insurance companies (Phoenix Group, Swiss Re, MetLife). The event also draws foundations, endowments, trusts, and single family offices with infrastructure allocations. In total, more than 150 institutional and private investors attend, alongside fund managers, investment consultants, placement agents, law firms, and banks, capped at the 1:1 ratio.
The advisory board includes representatives from AustralianSuper, GIC, British International Investment, M&G, Stonepeak, Cambridge Associates, and UMR, among others. Speaker count is 80+.
The 2026 agenda covers the full infrastructure spectrum with an editorial framing oriented toward investor decision-making. Confirmed session themes include:
The programme also includes roundtable discussions, LP-focused think-tanks, and 1:1 meeting programmes. Attendees gain year-round access to Infrastructure Investor's Global Passport networking platform.
The Global Summit is the flagship annual event: larger, broader, and attended by the full spectrum of the infrastructure industry from GPs and LPs to advisers, lenders, and placement agents. The Investor Forum is structurally smaller and LP-weighted, with a 1:1 GP:LP cap that the Global Summit does not enforce. Programme topics at the Forum are framed around LP challenges and allocation decisions; the Summit has a wider commercial remit.
Transport, digital infrastructure (including data centres and fibre), energy and energy transition, social infrastructure, and defence infrastructure. The 2026 agenda also covers private debt within infrastructure and secondary market strategies.
The Investor Forum is primarily an infrastructure event, but the 2026 co-location with PERE Europe introduces real assets convergence as an explicit programme strand. Joint sessions cover unified real assets teams, combined allocation frameworks, and cross-sector portfolio construction. Attendees whose mandate covers both infrastructure and real estate will find this co-location directly relevant.
For GPs seeking a large-scale origination and fundraising environment with access to a wide LP universe, the Global Summit or SuperReturn Infrastructure would be more appropriate. The Investor Forum's calibrated access model means GP-side deal volume is lower. For infrastructure investors at an early stage without a clear allocation mandate, the content assumes a level of operational familiarity with the asset class that makes it a better fit for established allocators.
PEI Group (Private Equity International Group) is a London-based financial media and events business covering private markets. Its Infrastructure Investor brand operates a magazine, data platform, research service, and events calendar that includes the Global Summit, the Investor Forum, and several regional and specialist forums.
The Infrastructure Investor Investor Forum is one of the brand's most focused products: it emerged from the observation that infrastructure LPs wanted peer exchange in a less commercially saturated setting than the Global Summit. PEI Group's editorial team shapes the programme agenda, which distinguishes the event from purely sponsor-driven conferences and accounts for its reputation for content quality among LP audiences.
For an infrastructure LP seeking concentrated peer exchange and structured access to GPs in London, this is the most purposeful annual stop on the European circuit. The 1:1 ratio is enforced, the programme is editorially driven, and the 2026 co-location with PERE Europe adds real value for investors with combined mandates. For a GP, the access model rewards those who come with specific LP relationships to deepen rather than broad prospecting ambitions.

LP pass pricing is not disclosed on the public event page as of verification. PEI Group events in the Infrastructure Investor series have historically offered complimentary or discounted access for qualified institutional investors (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers, endowments). Prospective LP attendees should contact the event team directly to confirm current policy.
The 2026 edition is at Convene 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ, in the City of London. The 2025 edition was held at The Carlton Tower Jumeirah in Knightsbridge. Venue selection varies by edition.
Attendees gain access to Infrastructure Investor's Global Passport platform, which extends networking beyond the two days of the Forum itself. The platform supports 1:1 meeting scheduling before, during, and after the event. Its practical value depends on whether the LP or GP community the attendee targets is active on the platform.
