A community track for senior women in private debt, run by LPGP Connect each September in London: standalone through its seventh edition in 2025, folded for 2026 into the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London conference on 24 September at the Park Plaza Victoria.
LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London is a community track for women professionals working in private debt and private credit, organised by LPGP Connect. It ran as a standalone one-day conference from at least 2019 through its seventh edition in September 2025, bringing together fund managers, institutional investors, placement agents, and service providers active in the asset class. For 2026, LPGP Connect folded it into its flagship conference: the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London, held 24 September 2026 at the Park Plaza Victoria, now runs "in partnership with Women in Private Debt" rather than as two separate ticketed events.
The organiser's events portfolio, checked 11 September 2026, lists no standalone "Women in Private Debt London" event for 2026; the dedicated event page used for the 2025 (7th) edition no longer resolves. In its place, the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London is branded "in partnership with Women in Private Debt" and runs on 24 September 2026 at the Park Plaza Victoria, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico, London SW1V 1EQ, the same date and venue as the main conference. Registration, pricing, and the speaker roster for the Women in Private Debt content are those of the main event; there is no separate registration page, price list, or attendee count published for a distinct Women in Private Debt session in 2026.
London's September slot marks the opening of the autumn private capital conference season. The LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London event occupies a specific position within that calendar: it is a community-focused, single-day event targeting a defined professional cohort rather than the broad private markets market. LPGP Connect also organises strategy-specific LP-GP events across the year, and the Women in Private Debt London event sits within that broader portfolio. September timing places it before the October concentration of Paris-based events and the December Women in Private Markets Summit organised by PEI Group, which includes a separate Women in Private Debt Forum track.
The event is oriented specifically around the Women in Private Debt community. The organiser's access model and audience profile are oriented toward senior practitioners; the total attendance figure is not publicly disclosed.
The programme addresses the current state of the private debt market, with thematic scope shaped by the issues relevant to women debt fund managers and investors at the time of the edition. The 2025 programme covered current debt fund management challenges, deployment conditions, and issues specific to women at all levels of the asset class. For 2026, the content runs inside the main conference's eight panel sessions rather than as a separate Women in Private Debt agenda; no session list specific to the Women in Private Debt partnership is published apart from the main event's speaker roster.
Private credit, also called private debt, refers to loan and debt financing provided by non-bank institutional lenders directly to companies or assets, outside of public bond or syndicated loan markets. The asset class includes direct lending to mid-market businesses, specialty finance, infrastructure debt, and real asset lending. It expanded significantly after the post-2008 banking regulation tightening and accelerated further as rates rose from 2022, drawing increased LP allocations alongside private equity portfolios under pressure.
These are two distinct events with similar names that should not be confused. LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London is organised by LPGP Connect and takes place each September; it is a standalone annual event. The Women in Private Debt Forum organised by PEI Group is a separate event that runs in December as part of the Women in Private Markets Summit (which also includes Women in Private Equity, Women in Infrastructure, and Women in Real Estate forums). The two events share thematic overlap but are produced by different organisations, run at different times of year, and draw on different registration and access models.
LPGP Connect is a UK-based event organiser active in the private capital market. It produces a portfolio of strategy-specific LP-GP conferences across the year. LPGP Connect is distinct from PEI Group, which operates peievents.com and produces a separate Women in Private Debt Forum in December.
The 2025 edition was the seventh annual standalone event, which implies it began around 2019. For 2026 the organiser stopped counting a separate Women in Private Debt edition number: the event is folded into the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London, so no eighth Women in Private Debt edition exists as its own record.
Through 2025, the event ran as a single full day in London, with the 2025 programme featuring over thirty industry-leading speakers across panel discussions and sessions plus a networking component. For 2026 it shares the format of the main conference: eight panel sessions across a single day at the Park Plaza Victoria, 1-2-1 meetings, and an LP-GP dinner, run under Chatham House Rules, rather than a separate Women in Private Debt-only agenda.
London is the primary European hub for private debt fund management, concentrating the LP offices, GP headquarters, law firms, and placement agents that constitute the event's target audience. Running in September places the event at the opening of the autumn conference season, before the diary compression of October Paris events and before the December Women in Private Markets Summit.
LPGP Connect is a UK-based event organiser that produces strategy-specific LP-GP conferences across private capital sub-strategies. Its event portfolio includes events focused on private debt, infrastructure, and other private markets verticals. LPGP Connect is a separate entity from PEI Group (publisher of Private Equity International, Infrastructure Investor, and Private Debt Investor) and operates under its own brand and website at lpgpconnect.com.
A community track that ran for seven-plus years as its own gathering before LPGP Connect folded it into the main conference for 2026, trading a standalone September fixture for a partnership branding inside a larger, mixed-audience event.
For 2026, registration runs through the main conference's registration page, not a dedicated Women in Private Debt page. LPGP Connect publishes five delegate categories for the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London: Limited Partners complimentary, General Partners GBP 1,495, Service Provider GBP 1,995, VIP General Partners GBP 2,095, VIP Service Provider GBP 2,495. No separate price or access terms are published for a Women in Private Debt-only pass.

For 2026, registration is through the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London event page at lpgpconnect.com, since the two are now a single event. The 2025 edition used its own dedicated URL, lpgpconnect.com/event/7th-annual-women-in-private-debt-london, which no longer resolves.
No. The event on peievents.com is organised by PEI Group and runs in December as part of the Women in Private Markets Summit. LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London, run in September, is unrelated to PEI Group and is organised by LPGP Connect. The two events remain independent regardless of the 2026 change described above.
24 September 2026, at the Park Plaza Victoria, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico, London SW1V 1EQ, confirmed on the organiser's own event page as of 11 September 2026. This is the same date and venue as the 12th Annual LPGP Connect Private Debt London, into which the Women in Private Debt content is folded for 2026.
