An annual one-day specialist conference organised by LPGP Connect, gathering senior women professionals active in private debt for panels, speaker sessions, and networking, held each September in London.
LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London is an annual one-day conference organised by LPGP Connect, dedicated to women professionals working in private debt and private credit. The event brings together fund managers, institutional investors, placement agents, and service providers active in the asset class, and has been running since at least 2019, reaching its seventh edition in September 2025. It takes place each autumn in London and functions as both a specialist content forum and a peer networking occasion for professionals within the Women in Private Debt community.
The event runs each September in London. The 2025 edition took place on 25 September 2025, its seventh annual edition. The 2026 date had not been publicly confirmed as of verification. The specific venue in London is not publicly disclosed in advance. The programme includes panel discussions and speaker sessions with over thirty industry-leading speakers confirmed for the 2025 edition. Full speaker lists and session titles are available on the organiser's event page closer to the date.
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. Over thirty industry-leading speakers were confirmed for the 2025 edition. Speaker names and session details for 2026 were not publicly available as of verification.
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.

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.
