Annual four-day gathering in Berlin bringing together institutional infrastructure investors and fund managers for structured meetings, closed-door roundtables, speed networking, and plenary sessions; the 20th edition runs from 24 to 27 March 2026 at STATION Berlin.
The Infrastructure Investor Global Summit is the flagship annual event of the Infrastructure Investor Network, produced by PEI Group, a commercial publisher specialising in private markets media and events. The summit brings together institutional investors, infrastructure fund managers, placement agents, and service providers for four days of structured meetings, plenary sessions, and closed-door discussions. The 2026 edition marks the 20th edition of the event. It is held at STATION Berlin, a large-format converted venue in the German capital.
The 20th edition of the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit takes place from 24 to 27 March 2026 at STATION Berlin. The event spans four full days, running Tuesday through Friday. No headline theme for the 2026 edition has been publicly announced as of verification. The summit is expected to draw more than 400 speakers in total, with five keynote and plenary speakers confirmed at the time of the November 2025 communications from PEI Group.
The summit occupies a distinctive position in the EMEA private capital calendar. Scheduled in late March, it falls within the spring cluster of strategy-specific gatherings that runs from March through June, after the winter season on the French Riviera but before the dense autumn concentration anchored in Paris and Amsterdam. For infrastructure specifically, this timing coincides with active fundraising cycles and the period in which many institutional allocators are finalising annual commitment plans. Berlin is an uncommon host city for large-scale private capital events compared to Paris or London, which gives the summit a degree of geographic distinctiveness on the circuit.
The summit is built around a single asset class: infrastructure. This stands in contrast to generalist private capital events such as SuperReturn International or IPEM Global, where infrastructure competes for attention alongside private equity, private debt, and venture capital. The concentration on one asset class creates a specific attendee base and a programme that goes deeper into sector-specific themes, including energy transition, digital infrastructure, transport, and social infrastructure. The invite-only access model further differentiates the event from open-registration conferences, concentrating the room around qualified institutional participants.
The number of stages or theatres running in parallel is not publicly disclosed as of verification. Specific session titles and sub-programme architecture for the 2026 edition have not been confirmed beyond what is noted above.
The event combines open-format speed networking with a pre-scheduled meeting structure. Advance meeting scheduling is confirmed: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, meaning the LP population entering the meeting system has been screened for eligibility. This review process gives GPs a degree of confidence in the quality of LP counterparts available for meetings. No dedicated networking application has been publicly identified for the 2026 edition.
The closed-door discussions and member-only sessions represent a second tier within the format, where conversations are separated from the broader delegate pool. Evening receptions serve as the informal extension of the structured programme, providing unscheduled time for follow-up conversations outside the meeting grid. The combination of speed networking, pre-scheduled bilateral meetings, and closed roundtables means the event runs several parallel meeting modalities simultaneously across its four days.
The programme themes reported for the 2026 edition reflect the current infrastructure investment agenda:
Specific session names, confirmed panellists beyond the five keynote speakers identified, and the full programme schedule are not publicly available as of verification.

The Infrastructure Investor Global Summit is an invitation-only annual event focused exclusively on the infrastructure asset class within private capital. It combines plenary sessions, structured bilateral meetings, speed networking, roundtables, and closed-door discussions across four days. It is not a trade fair or open-registration conference. Access requires either an accepted application (for institutional investors) or a delegate pass, and eligible LPs attend on a complimentary basis following organiser review.
The event draws institutional investors allocating to infrastructure, infrastructure GPs in active fundraising or portfolio management, placement agents, and service providers. PEI Group reports more than 3,000 delegates according to its communications, with more than 400 speakers in total across the four-day programme. Specific ratios between investor and manager populations are not publicly disclosed as of verification.
Five cases where attending is likely a poor fit: first, fund managers operating exclusively in private equity buyouts, venture capital, or private credit with no infrastructure mandate, since the programme and the LP population are calibrated specifically to the asset class; second, early-stage or sub-institutional fund managers whose AUM and track record fall below the threshold that the screened LP population would typically consider, given the organiser reviews LP applications and GPs will encounter qualified allocators with defined mandates; third, investors attending passively to follow a broadcast agenda, since the format rewards active participation in meeting sessions, roundtables, and speed networking over passive attendance; fourth, organisations based outside infrastructure's core geographies (Western Europe, North America, Australia) whose mandate does not extend to cross-border infrastructure co-investment or fund commitments, since the programme and LP base skew toward established markets; fifth, service providers seeking broad B2B exhibition exposure, given that exhibitor participation is not documented for this event and the access model does not describe a conventional exhibition hall.
The summit is oriented toward established institutional allocators with existing or developing infrastructure programmes. Investors in early stages of building an infrastructure thesis may find value in the plenary sessions, but the structured meeting system and closed-door discussions are designed for participants with active mandates and the ability to commit capital. The organiser's LP application review process acts as a practical filter.
STATION Berlin is a large-scale events complex located in the Schöneberg district of Berlin, housed in a former postal railway station. The building offers substantial column-free floor plates across multiple halls, which accommodates the parallel running of plenary stages, breakout rooms, exhibition space, and networking areas that a 3,000-delegate event requires. The venue has become one of Berlin's established addresses for large-format professional congresses and private-sector summits. Its industrial architecture and flexible internal configuration make it suitable for events requiring simultaneous meeting streams, closed rooms, and evening reception spaces within a single site.
The Schöneberg location is accessible from Berlin's central transport network and within range of the hotel stock around Potsdamer Platz and the Kurfürstendamm corridor. The full address on the organiser's published material references the official site rather than a specific street-level postal address for the 2026 edition, and no venue capacity figure has been disclosed.
PEI Group is a commercial publisher operating in the private markets sector. The company produces specialist media titles, data products, and events across private equity, infrastructure, private credit, and real assets. The Infrastructure Investor brand sits within this portfolio as the dedicated infrastructure intelligence and events vehicle. PEI Group's events portfolio spans multiple asset classes and geographies, with the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit serving as the flagship gathering for the infrastructure segment.
PEI Group is listed with a Germany country association in available records, though the specific city of its operational headquarters is not disclosed as of verification. Its founding year and total portfolio size are similarly not available in the current data. As a commercial publisher, PEI Group derives revenue from both media subscriptions and event delegate and sponsorship fees, distinguishing it from industry associations or non-profit conveners operating on the same circuit.
The Infrastructure Investor Global Summit is the closest thing the infrastructure asset class has to a dedicated annual parliament: four days, 3,000 delegates, invite-only access, and a meeting architecture deep enough that the plenary programme is genuinely secondary to what happens in the bilateral sessions and closed rooms.
Eligible institutional investors (LPs) can apply for a complimentary pass, subject to review and approval by the PEI Group organiser team. The application and registration process is managed through the official event portal at https://live.peievents.com/infrastructure-investor-global-summit. Delegate and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The event operates on an invite-only access model, meaning attendance is not available through an open public registration process without prior eligibility review.
Institutional investors meeting the organiser's eligibility criteria can attend at no charge, but the pass is not automatic. PEI Group reviews LP applications before confirming access. The review process is designed to maintain the quality and qualification level of the investor population in the meeting system. Investors should initiate the application through the official event portal well in advance of the March dates.
Pricing for GP delegates, placement agents, and service providers is not publicly disclosed on the event portal as of verification. Interested parties should contact PEI Group directly through the official website for a current rate card.
The invite-only access model does not preclude first-time attendees, but it does require that all participants pass the organiser's access review. For LPs, this means demonstrating institutional eligibility. For other delegate categories, the process is managed through PEI Group's commercial team. There is no publicly documented seniority or AUM threshold for first-time applications, beyond the implied qualification standard of an event drawing this scale of institutional attendance.
The 20th edition runs from 24 to 27 March 2026 at STATION Berlin, Germany. The event is four days long, Tuesday through Friday. No subsequent edition dates or locations have been announced as of verification.
