With 200 to 400 attendees, it operates at the intimate end of the EMEA private capital circuit, prioritising the depth of individual interactions over the scale of a major summit. The event is held at the Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen Vienna, a venue associated with corporate and financial gatherings in the Austrian capital. Vienna's position as the principal financial centre of the DACH region and a gateway between Western and Central European capital markets gives the conference a distinctive dual orientation: it serves the established LP and GP community of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland while also providing a point of connection with Central and Eastern European investors and managers. The DACH market presents a specific landscape within European private equity. Germany is home to some of Europe's largest pension funds and insurance companies, as well as a dense population of mid-market buyout and growth equity managers. Austria functions as a regional hub for CEE-oriented capital, while Switzerland concentrates family office and institutional wealth that allocates to both domestic and international private equity strategies. The 0100 Conference DACH addresses this combined constituency within a single geography-focused format. The 0100 Conferences series applies a consistent approach across its European editions: curated registration, a structured meeting programme, and an audience composition managed to ensure a productive ratio of capital allocators to fund managers. The DACH edition operates on these principles within the specific market conditions of the German-speaking region, where GP-LP relationships are typically built through sustained engagement rather than single-event introductions. For regional managers and the international managers who target DACH institutional capital, the conference provides an efficient annual concentration of the relevant community outside the larger pan-European summits. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/0100-conference-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # 0100 Conference Europe > *A three-day annual conference bringing together private equity and venture capital GPs, institutional LPs, and capital market professionals in Amsterdam, structured around panel programming, one-to-one meetings, and thematic networking, with liquidity dynamics as the 2026 central theme.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026 edition** | **Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam** | **0100 Conferences** | **~500 participants** | | 4th edition · dates not disclosed | Paul van Vlissingenstraat 24, Amsterdam, Netherlands | Netherlands · commercial publisher | Mix of LPs, GPs, family offices, advisors, and European policymakers (self-reported) | ## Definition 0100 Conference Europe is an annual private capital conference held in Amsterdam, currently in its fourth edition. It gathers general partners active in private equity and venture capital alongside institutional limited partners, family offices, advisors, and policymakers for three days of panel programming, structured one-to-one meetings, and thematic side events. The event operates on an open-access model, with complimentary registration available to qualifying limited partners. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The fourth edition of 0100 Conference Europe is scheduled for 2026 in Amsterdam, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam on Paul van Vlissingenstraat 24. Specific start and end dates are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The venue and city are confirmed; all other edition details remain subject to the organiser's forthcoming announcements. ## Where 0100 Conference Europe sits in the spring private capital calendar Amsterdam is an established node on the EMEA private capital circuit, and the 0100 Conference Europe occupies a position consistent with the circuit's spring cluster, which runs from March to June. The event complements strategy-specific forums held across Paris, London, and the Nordic capitals during the same period. Its three-day format and LP-inclusive access model give it a distinct profile relative to invitation-only gatherings and single-day practitioner briefings that populate the same seasonal window. ## Who attends 0100 Conference Europe - **General Partners:** fund managers active in private equity and venture capital, drawn from firms including Ardian, Nordic Capital, Vitruvian Partners, Earlybird, Northzone, HV Capital, BGV, B Capital, and Argentum. - **Limited Partners:** institutional allocators including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies, represented by organisations such as Aegon AM, Belfius AM, FERI, Adams Street Partners, Partners Group, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, and Bpifrance. - **Supranational and public institutions:** the European Investment Fund (EIF) is among the confirmed participants. - **Banks and financial intermediaries:** ABN AMRO and ING are among the financial institutions represented in the speaker line-up. - **Family offices and advisors:** the participant mix includes family offices and capital market advisors alongside the institutional GP and LP core. - **Service providers:** placement agents and professional service firms attend under a dedicated access tier. ## What the 0100 Conference Europe format includes - Three days of panel sessions covering private equity, venture capital, and private capital themes. - One-to-one side meetings between GPs and LPs structured within the event programme. - Networking dinners, providing relationship-building outside the formal session schedule. - Thematic side events aligned with the central programme. The organiser has not publicly disclosed the number of stages, specific session names, or confirmed whether a dedicated matchmaking application operates alongside the meeting programme. The information above reflects what has been announced as of verification. ## How the 0100 Conference Europe meeting system works The event integrates one-to-one side meetings as a structural component of the three-day programme, rather than treating them as incidental to the panel agenda. Networking dinners and thematic side events extend the meeting volume beyond formal session hours. Advance scheduling tools and a dedicated matchmaking application have not been confirmed publicly as of verification. The complimentary LP access model is designed to increase the volume of allocators present and, by extension, the availability of GP-LP bilateral meetings during the event. ## What the 0100 Conference Europe programme covers The confirmed central theme for the 2026 edition is "Navigating the Liquidity Squeeze", which positions the programme around the structural constraints affecting LP portfolios and GP fundraising timelines in the post-zero-rate environment. Approximately 30 speakers are announced. The confirmed speaker roster draws from the following organisations: - 500 Global, ABN AMRO, Adams Street Partners, Aegon AM, Ardian, Argentum - B Capital, Belfius AM, BGV, Bpifrance - Earlybird, EIF, FERI, HV Capital, ING, Ireland Strategic Investment Fund - Nordic Capital, Northzone, Oaktree Capital Management, Partners Group - SVC, Tikehau Capital, Vitruvian Partners Specific panel titles and session-level programme details are not publicly disclosed as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is 0100 Conference Europe and who is it designed for? 0100 Conference Europe is a three-day annual gathering in Amsterdam for private equity and venture capital professionals on both sides of the capital table. It is designed for institutional LPs evaluating managers, GPs in active fundraising or seeking LP introductions, and adjacent professionals including placement agents, fund-of-funds managers, and capital market service providers. The 2026 edition is the fourth. ### What mix of organisations does the event bring together? The confirmed participant mix spans institutional asset managers (Aegon AM, FERI, Adams Street Partners), development finance institutions and public funds (Bpifrance, EIF, Ireland Strategic Investment Fund), private equity and venture capital managers of varying scale (Ardian, Nordic Capital, Vitruvian Partners, Earlybird, Northzone, HV Capital), and major European banks (ABN AMRO, ING). Family offices and advisors are also represented, according to the organiser. ### Is 0100 Conference Europe focused on a specific private capital strategy? The event spans private equity and venture capital broadly rather than focusing on a single strategy. The 2026 theme "Navigating the Liquidity Squeeze" anchors discussion around cross-strategy concerns, including GP-led secondaries, NAV-based financing, and extended fundraising cycles. It is not a dedicated private credit, infrastructure, or real assets forum. ### Who is 0100 Conference Europe NOT designed for? Attendance is a poor fit in several specific cases. First, fund managers with no European LP or co-investment agenda will find the participant base narrowly focused on the European capital formation market. Second, professionals seeking a deeply specialised strategy forum (dedicated private credit, infrastructure, or real assets) will encounter a generalist private equity and venture capital programme that may not justify the time commitment. Third, participants who require passive content consumption without bilateral engagement will find the event's value proposition, which is built around one-to-one meetings and networking dinners, poorly matched to that mode of attendance. Fourth, service providers whose client base sits outside private equity and venture capital (for example, those serving public markets or real estate exclusively) face a targeted audience that does not align with their business development priorities. Fifth, allocators or managers based outside Europe with no near-term European fund commitment or LP dialogue are unlikely to generate sufficient meeting density to justify attendance. --- ## The venue: Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam The Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam is located at Paul van Vlissingenstraat 24, in the eastern docklands district of Amsterdam. The property operates as a full-service hotel with conference facilities, making it a self-contained venue for a multi-day event where participants attend sessions, conduct bilateral meetings, and access evening programming without relocating. Amsterdam's position as a European financial centre, home to the Dutch pension industry and a concentration of pan-European asset managers, reinforces its practical logic as a host city for an LP-GP gathering of this scale. Total venue capacity is not publicly disclosed. ## The organiser: 0100 Conferences 0100 Conferences is a Netherlands-based commercial event publisher specialising in private capital conferences. The organiser's website (0100conferences.com) is the primary public channel for programme announcements, speaker confirmations, and registration. The organiser's founding year, full portfolio of events, and team are not publicly disclosed in available sources as of verification. The 0100 Conference Europe is the firm's flagship European edition, currently in its fourth year. --- ## Editorial take *0100 Conference Europe has built its identity around a structural concession that most GP-focused events resist: complimentary access for qualifying LPs, which signals that the organiser treats LP attendance density as the primary variable that determines the event's value for every other participant.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is open through the organiser's website. Qualifying limited partners access the event at no charge. The GP delegate pass is priced at approximately 1,370 EUR (listed at approximately 1,475 USD on the ticketing page). Service provider passes are priced at the same level as GP passes, approximately 1,370 EUR. Sponsor and exhibition pricing is not publicly disclosed as of verification. All pricing is for the 2026 edition and subject to change by the organiser. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do LPs register for complimentary access to 0100 Conference Europe? Complimentary access is available to qualifying limited partners. Registration is handled through the organiser's website at 0100conferences.com. The specific eligibility criteria for complimentary LP registration are not detailed in publicly available information as of verification. Prospective LP attendees should contact the organiser directly to confirm eligibility before submitting a registration. ### What does a GP or service provider pass to 0100 Conference Europe cost? The GP delegate pass is priced at approximately 1,370 EUR for the 2026 edition (listed at approximately 1,475 USD on the organiser's ticketing page). Service provider passes are priced at the same level. These figures are drawn from the organiser's published ticketing page and may be updated before the event. ### When and where exactly does the 2026 edition take place? The 2026 edition takes place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam, Paul van Vlissingenstraat 24, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Specific start and end dates within 2026 are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The organiser's website is the primary source for date announcements. ### Is there a waiting list or invitation requirement? The event operates on an open-access model; no invitation is required. Registration is available directly through the organiser's ticketing page. Whether capacity constraints generate a waiting list at any access tier is not publicly documented as of verification. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026 | | Register | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026 | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data drawn from the organiser's public website and ticketing page as of the verification date.

Now in its fifteenth edition, the event operates in an intimate networking format that places structured GP-LP interaction at the centre of the programme, alongside open conference sessions and closed LP-only roundtables. Budapest serves as the host city, positioning the event within the EMEA circuit as the dedicated gathering point for private capital flows into emerging European markets. ## The 2026 edition: fifteenth instalment in Budapest The 2026 edition marks the fifteenth consecutive instalment of 0100 Emerging Europe. Specific dates have not been publicly disclosed as of verification. The event takes place at the Hungarian House of Music in Budapest, a venue that reflects both the geographic focus of the conference and its commitment to a Central European host location. The full programme for the 2026 edition, including confirmed speakers, session structure, and thematic agenda, is available directly on the organiser's website. ## Where 0100 Emerging Europe sits in the EMEA private capital calendar The EMEA private capital circuit concentrates its CEE-focused activity in a small cluster of events, and 0100 Emerging Europe holds the most established position within that cluster. Budapest as a host city places the event geographically at the heart of the region it covers, making it distinct from Western European conferences that address CEE as one strand of a broader international programme. The event's annual recurrence over fifteen editions has given it a continuity that anchors the CEE private capital community calendar. ## What separates 0100 Emerging Europe from broader EMEA gatherings The event is deliberately scoped. Where generalist EMEA summits treat Central and Eastern Europe as a subsection of a global allocation discussion, 0100 Emerging Europe addresses the region as its primary subject. The intimate networking format, described by the organiser as a defining characteristic, limits scale in favour of density of interaction. Approximately 130 senior speakers have historically participated, a figure that signals a high speaker-to-delegate ratio relative to large-format conferences. Closed LP-only sessions and dedicated GP-LP side events further concentrate the programme around capital formation rather than broadcast content. ## Who attends 0100 Emerging Europe - **Limited Partners:** institutional allocators with active exposure to or interest in CEE private capital, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds. - **General Partners:** fund managers operating buyout, growth equity, venture capital, secondaries, and impact investing strategies in Central and Eastern Europe. - **Family offices:** single and multi-family offices with direct or fund-based exposure to the CEE region. - **Placement agents and advisors:** intermediaries active on CEE-focused mandates and fund distributions. - **Service providers:** legal, financial, and operational professionals serving private capital managers and allocators in the region. ## What the 0100 Emerging Europe format includes - Open conference sessions covering private capital strategies and market conditions in the CEE region. - Closed LP-only sessions, restricted to institutional allocators and structured around peer discussion. - Side events organised around GP-LP interaction, extending meeting volume beyond the main programme. - An intimate networking structure that limits overall scale in favour of concentrated access. The event is described by the organiser as an intimate networking event. Specific session names, stage count, panel titles, and the full 2026 programme structure are not reproduced here; the organiser's website carries the confirmed programme. ## How meetings are scheduled at 0100 Emerging Europe The event's meeting architecture centres on the combination of closed LP-only sessions and structured GP-LP side events, which together function as the primary mechanism for capital formation conversations. Whether a formal pre-scheduling or matchmaking application underpins this architecture is not publicly confirmed as of verification. The intimate format, referenced consistently in the organiser's materials, suggests that the scale of the event (650-plus delegates) is calibrated to make unmediated introductions feasible in a way that large-format conferences do not permit. ## What the 0100 Emerging Europe programme covers The programme addresses private capital investment across the Central and Eastern European region. Historically documented strategy areas include: - Buyout and growth equity targeting CEE mid-market companies. - Venture capital focused on technology and innovation in emerging European markets. - Secondaries, including GP-led transactions and portfolio liquidity solutions. - Impact investing strategies with a regional development dimension. - LP allocation and portfolio construction considerations specific to the CEE risk and return profile. Specific session titles and confirmed 2026 thematic sessions are available on the organiser's website. An edition theme for 2026 has not been publicly disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is 0100 Emerging Europe and who is it designed for? 0100 Emerging Europe is an annual private capital conference focused on the Central and Eastern European market, now in its fifteenth edition. It is designed for LPs, GPs, family offices, placement agents, and advisors with active involvement in or genuine strategic interest in the CEE region. The event draws approximately 650 delegates and operates in an intimate format that prioritises direct interaction over broadcast content. ### What makes this event different from other private capital conferences in EMEA? The geographic focus is the primary differentiator. The event does not treat CEE as a thematic panel within a broader international programme; the region is the entire subject. The intimate networking format, closed LP-only sessions, and GP-LP side events are structured around this regional specificity. Fifteen editions of continuity have also produced a returning community of practitioners that gives the event a relationship density not replicable at younger gatherings. ### What strategies and asset classes are represented in the programme? The programme covers buyout, growth equity, venture capital, secondaries, and impact investing, all within a CEE regional lens. The event does not position itself as a single-strategy conference; it reflects the full spectrum of private capital activity in the region. Specific strategy weightings in the 2026 programme are not publicly confirmed as of verification. ### When does attending 0100 Emerging Europe not make sense? The event is a poor fit in several specific cases. A GP whose fund strategy has no current or prospective CEE exposure will find little alignment in a programme and LP audience built entirely around the region. LPs whose allocation mandates exclude emerging European markets entirely, or who require a minimum country rating or currency stability threshold that CEE markets do not meet, will not find relevant counterparts. Practitioners seeking passive conference attendance rather than active meeting engagement will find the intimate format pressure toward interaction that a large-format broadcast conference does not create. Service providers without existing or pipeline CEE-focused clients will generate limited return relative to the access cost. Finally, GPs at very early fund formation stages without a demonstrable CEE track record may find the LP audience, which is senior and regionally experienced, difficult to convert in a structured meeting context. --- ## The venue: Hungarian House of Music, Budapest The Hungarian House of Music is a cultural building in Budapest, designed by Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto and opened in 2022 within the Városliget city park redevelopment project. Its architectural profile, a largely transparent structure with a perforated roof canopy, gives it a distinct identity relative to the convention hotels that host most private capital conferences in the region. Locating the event in a building of this kind signals an approach to the host environment that goes beyond functional conference infrastructure. Budapest's position as the capital of Hungary and a regional financial centre for Central and Eastern Europe makes it a natural anchor for a conference whose subject is CEE private capital. ## The organiser: 0100 Conferences 0100 Conferences is a commercial event organiser based in Hungary, operating a portfolio of private capital conferences across the EMEA circuit. The company focuses on LP-GP gatherings in specific geographic or strategic segments, with 0100 Emerging Europe being its flagship CEE-focused event. The organiser's founding year and full portfolio size are not publicly confirmed as of verification. The website at 0100conferences.com serves as the primary public channel for programme, speaker, and registration information across the portfolio. --- ## Editorial take *Fifteen editions of consistent focus on Central and Eastern European private capital have made 0100 Emerging Europe the default gathering point for the practitioner community active in the region, a position that the intimate format and closed LP-only sessions reinforce rather than dilute.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is processed through the organiser's website at 0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-emerging-europe. LP delegates are offered complimentary passes, subject to eligibility verification by the organiser; this includes access to LP-only sessions and side events. GP and service provider rates are not publicly disclosed on the conference page as of verification; a standard rate in the range of 1,300 to 1,500 USD has been cited in organiser communications, but this figure should be confirmed directly with 0100 Conferences before relying on it for budget purposes. The event operates on an open access model, meaning attendance is not restricted to invitation-only participants, though LP pass eligibility is subject to organiser approval. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do LPs register for 0100 Emerging Europe, and is there a cost? LP delegates receive complimentary passes, according to the organiser, subject to verification of institutional status. Registration is handled through the organiser's website. Complimentary LP access covers the main conference programme, LP-only closed sessions, and GP-LP side events. ### What does it cost for GPs and service providers to attend? GP and service provider delegate rates are not publicly posted on the conference website as of verification. The organiser has cited a standard rate in the range of 1,300 to 1,500 USD in prior communications, but pricing for the 2026 edition should be confirmed directly with 0100 Conferences via the website. ### Is 0100 Emerging Europe invitation-only? The event operates on an open access model and is not invitation-only. LP pass eligibility is subject to organiser verification, which is standard practice for complimentary LP pass programmes at private capital conferences. GP and service provider delegates can register through the public website. ### Where can the 2026 programme and confirmed speaker list be found? The confirmed programme and speaker list for the 2026 edition are published on the organiser's website at 0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-emerging-europe. Approximately 130 senior speakers have participated historically; the 2026 confirmed count is not reproduced here. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-emerging-europe | | Register | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-emerging-europe | | Programme | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-emerging-europe | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from organiser-provided fields and the public conference page at 0100conferences.com; specific 2026 dates, organiser founding year, and AUM figures are not publicly available; LP pass pricing labelled as complimentary per organiser indication, GP pricing range cited as approximate and subject to confirmation; Key Stats block omitted due to insufficient verified quantitative data beyond aggregate delegate count; completeness score 47% (29/58 variables filled). **Variables:** 29/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/0100-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # 0100 Europe > *A three-day, application-based gathering in Amsterdam for private capital investors, fund managers, family offices, and advisors, structured around 1:1 scheduled meetings and combining roundtables, side events, and cocktail networking across its fourth edition.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **21–23 April 2026** | **Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam** | **0100 Conferences** | **650 delegates** | | 3 days, Tuesday to Thursday | Amsterdam, Netherlands | Netherlands | 8 confirmed speakers (2026 edition) | --- ## Definition 0100 Europe is an annual private capital conference held in Amsterdam, reaching its fourth edition in April 2026. The event brings together institutional investors, fund managers, family offices, placement agents, and service providers for a programme built primarily around pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, supplemented by roundtables, keynotes, and side events. It operates on an application model, with LP and family office attendance offered on a complimentary basis subject to organiser review. ## The 2026 edition: 21–23 April in Amsterdam The fourth edition runs from 21 to 23 April 2026 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam. No overarching edition theme has been publicly announced as of verification. The 2026 programme features 8 confirmed keynote speakers and panellists, with the full agenda described as partially published on the event website. Side events and cocktail sessions extend the meeting programme beyond the structured 1:1 slots. ## Where 0100 Europe sits in the spring private capital calendar April places 0100 Europe in the spring cluster of the EMEA private capital circuit, a period running from March through June that concentrates strategy-specific and generalist LP-GP summits ahead of the summer pause. Amsterdam is an established host city for private capital events at this time of year, drawing on a dense concentration of institutional allocators and fund managers active in the region. The three-day format gives the event sufficient duration for a meaningful volume of 1:1 meetings without extending into the longer formats typical of the major Riviera gatherings. ## What separates 0100 Europe from comparable spring gatherings The event's defining structural feature is its application-based access model, which allows the organiser to curate the LP-to-GP balance before the programme opens. The reported LP-to-GP composition stands at approximately 1:1.1, meaning GPs marginally outnumber LPs in the room. Complimentary access for qualified LPs and family offices is a deliberate mechanism to attract the allocator side of the market, a common circuit convention that 0100 Europe applies with explicit organiser verification rather than open registration. ## Who attends 0100 Europe - Institutional limited partners, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds seeking GP relationships and co-investment opportunities. - Family offices, which access the event on the same complimentary basis as institutional LPs, subject to organiser review. - General partners, comprising private equity, venture capital, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets fund managers. - Placement agents and capital-raising intermediaries active in the European private capital market. - Service providers to the industry, including fund administrators, law firms, auditors, and technology vendors. ## What the 0100 Europe format includes - Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings via a dedicated networking platform, forming the structural core of the programme. - Keynote sessions and panel discussions, with 8 speakers confirmed for the 2026 edition. - Roundtables offering smaller-group discussion on private capital themes. - Side events and cocktail receptions extending networking beyond the formal meeting schedule. The number of stages or dedicated content tracks is not publicly disclosed. Specific session titles and the full speaker list were partially published on the event website at the time of verification. No additional special formats beyond those listed above are documented. ## How the 0100 Europe meeting system works The meeting programme operates through a dedicated networking platform on which attendees can request and confirm 1:1 meetings in advance of the event. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, which functions as the primary curatorial mechanism for attendee quality on the investor side. The advance scheduling system means that a significant portion of the meeting agenda is fixed before delegates arrive in Amsterdam, reducing time spent on ad-hoc introductions during the event itself. Roundtables and side events complement the 1:1 infrastructure by providing formats where multiple attendees interact simultaneously. Cocktail sessions provide lower-friction, unscheduled contact time. The name of the networking platform is not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## What the 0100 Europe programme covers The programme addresses private capital finance broadly, with no publicly disclosed sector sub-themes or dedicated strategy tracks for the 2026 edition. Given the mixed LP-GP composition, sessions are expected to address fundraising dynamics, portfolio construction, and allocator priorities, though no session titles have been confirmed and published in full as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What type of event is 0100 Europe, and is it primarily a conference or a deal-making platform? 0100 Europe is structured first as a meeting platform and second as a content conference. The 1:1 pre-scheduled meeting system is the organiser's primary offering; keynotes and panels, while present, are secondary to the bilateral meeting volume. Attendees seeking a passive conference experience will find the format weighted toward active participation and pre-preparation. ### Who is 0100 Europe NOT designed for? Five profiles are a poor fit. First, emerging managers without an established LP pipeline, since the LP-to-GP ratio of 1:1.1 means competition for allocator time is meaningful and unprepared GPs will find limited return. Second, service providers expecting a large exhibition or stand-based presence, since no exhibitor infrastructure is documented. Third, managers focused exclusively on markets outside Europe, as the event's Amsterdam base and LP composition orient it toward EMEA-active allocators. Fourth, passive attendees who prefer large-format keynote conferences with open registration, since the application model and meeting-intensive structure require advance commitment and preparation. Fifth, professionals seeking access without prior organiser vetting, since the application model applies to all delegate categories. ### Is 0100 Europe open to first-time attendees, or does the network skew toward returning participants? The event is in its fourth edition, which means it has a developing but not yet entrenched repeat-attendee base. The application model is open to new participants, subject to the organiser's review process. No data on return attendance rates is publicly disclosed. ### How large is 0100 Europe relative to other private capital events in Amsterdam? The 2026 edition is projected at 650 delegates. The raw description associated with the event references a figure of 800-plus attendees, though the verified attendance figure used in this fiche is 650 and the sourcing of the 800-plus figure is not confirmed. Amsterdam hosts several private capital gatherings annually, and 0100 Europe at 650 delegates sits at a mid-scale position within that circuit. ## The venue: Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam The Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam is a full-service conference hotel in central Amsterdam, suitable for events requiring multiple simultaneous meeting rooms and plenary spaces within a single building. A self-contained hotel venue of this type supports the 1:1 meeting model by concentrating all programme activity, networking, and overnight accommodation in proximity. The specific meeting-room configuration and total capacity of the venue for this event are not disclosed. Side events and cocktail receptions are likely to take place within the hotel, given the format, though no separate venue for those sessions is documented. ## The organiser: 0100 Conferences 0100 Conferences, commonly written and pronounced **Zero One Hundred Conferences**, is a Netherlands-based commercial event organiser specialising in private capital gatherings. The company produces 0100 Europe as part of a broader portfolio of conferences, though the total number of events in that portfolio is not disclosed as of verification. Its founding year is not publicly documented. The organiser operates an application-based access model across its events and positions curated LP-GP composition as a differentiating feature of its format. The company website serves as both the primary information source and the registration channel for 0100 Europe. --- ## Editorial take *At its fourth edition, 0100 Europe occupies a specific and deliberate niche in the Amsterdam spring calendar: a mid-scale, meeting-first private capital gathering where the application model and complimentary LP access are structural choices rather than marketing tactics, and where the value proposition rests on the quality of the bilateral meeting programme rather than the content stage.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled directly through the 0100 Conferences website at [https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026](https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026). The event operates an application model: all delegate categories submit an application that is reviewed by the organiser. LP and family office attendance is complimentary, subject to that verification process. GP and service provider delegate rates are listed at approximately 1,375 EUR (converted from approximately 1,475 USD at the time of data extraction). Currency conversion rates fluctuate, and prospective attendees should confirm the current rate and any applicable taxes directly with the organiser. No stand or sponsorship pricing is publicly disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the application process work for LPs and GPs? All prospective attendees apply through the organiser's website. LP and family office applications are reviewed by the organiser to verify institutional status before complimentary access is confirmed. GP and service provider applicants pay a delegate fee following acceptance. The timeline between application and confirmation is not publicly documented. ### Can service providers attend, and what access do they have? Service providers can attend at the same delegate rate as GPs, approximately 1,375 EUR. They have access to the networking platform and the 1:1 meeting system, roundtables, side events, and cocktail receptions on the same basis as other paying delegates. No separate exhibition stands or sponsor-specific formats are documented. ### Is the networking platform available before the event starts? The event confirms advance scheduling through the networking platform, meaning attendees can book 1:1 meetings before arriving in Amsterdam. The precise window during which the platform opens for pre-scheduling is not publicly disclosed, nor is the name of the platform itself. ### What language is the event conducted in? The event is conducted in English. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026 | | Register | https://www.0100conferences.com/conferences/0100-europe-2026 | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Data sourced from the 0100 Conferences official event page and structured event data with a completeness score of 62%; the raw description figure of 800-plus attendees is not verified and has been set aside in favour of the 650 delegate figure; LP and GP sub-counts within the 650 total are not disclosed; speaker list is confirmed as partial; currency conversion from USD to EUR is approximate and should be verified with the organiser. **Variables:** 38/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/alfi-global-asset-management-conference.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # ALFI Global Asset Management Conference > *Annual two-day conference held in Luxembourg each spring, gathering approximately 1,000 asset management professionals from across the private capital spectrum for panel discussions, structured 1:1 meetings, and a trade exhibition at the European Convention Center Luxembourg.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **24–25 March 2026** | **European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL)** | **ALFI** | **1,000+** | | 2 days, Tuesday to Wednesday | Luxembourg, Luxembourg | Luxembourg | delegates (further breakdown not disclosed) | --- ## Definition The ALFI Global Asset Management Conference is the flagship annual gathering of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI), convening asset management professionals, fund managers, institutional investors, and service providers in Luxembourg each spring. The event combines a full programme of panel discussions with structured 1:1 meetings and a trade exhibition. It occupies a distinct position in the EMEA spring calendar as the primary gathering point for the Luxembourg fund industry and its international counterparts. ## When and where in 2026: 24–25 March at the ECCL The 2026 edition takes place on 24 and 25 March at the European Convention Center Luxembourg. Dates are confirmed on the official ALFI website. No edition number is publicly disclosed for this instalment, and no overarching thematic title has been announced as of verification. ## Where the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference sits in the spring calendar The event falls in the dense spring cluster of the EMEA private capital circuit, which runs from March through June. Luxembourg's positioning as the primary European fund domicile gives this conference a particular draw during this window: managers domiciled in the Grand Duchy, and those considering it, treat the gathering as a practical working forum rather than a purely intellectual one. The conference runs across two full days, making it a more substantial commitment than many single-day spring forums. ## Who attends the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference - Asset managers and fund managers active in private capital, private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and related strategies. - Institutional investors, including pension funds and other long-term allocators, present as delegates under a specific access category (see registration conditions below). - Placement agents facilitating capital-raising between fund managers and allocators. - Service providers to the Luxembourg fund industry, including legal, fund administration, depositary, and technology firms. - Speakers and keynote contributors: approximately 53 speakers are expected for the 2026 edition, with 3 keynotes confirmed individually on the ALFI website. ## What the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference format includes - Panel discussions covering the programme's thematic agenda across two days. - A trade exhibition with stands for service providers and industry participants. - Structured 1:1 meetings, pre-scheduled in advance and reviewed by the organiser. - Networking breaks integrated into the daily schedule. The number of stages or breakout rooms is not publicly disclosed. Specific session titles and confirmed panel compositions for the 2026 edition are not available via the organiser's website in the form of a downloadable agenda at the time of verification, though a speaker list is available for download on alfi.lu. ## How meetings are scheduled at the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference The conference operates a structured 1:1 meeting system with advance scheduling. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is confirmed, which introduces a qualification step that distinguishes this model from open-registration networking events. No dedicated networking application is disclosed for the 2026 edition. The combination of pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings and organised networking breaks provides the primary infrastructure for bilateral conversations alongside the panel programme. ## What the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference programme covers The programme focuses on financing and private capital as its declared thematic territory. Given the speaker volume (approximately 53 contributors), the format distributes across multiple panels rather than concentrating on a single thematic thread. Specific session themes, confirmed moderators, and programme breakdown by day are not publicly available in structured form as of verification. The organiser offers a downloadable speaker list at alfi.lu/events/alfi-global-asset-management-conference-2026, though the underlying data is not accessible via public web search. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference and who is it designed for? The ALFI Global Asset Management Conference is the annual flagship event of the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry, directed at professionals whose work intersects with Luxembourg-domiciled or Luxembourg-regulated funds. The audience spans fund managers, institutional investors, placement agents, and service providers. With approximately 1,000 delegates and around 53 speakers expected in 2026, it operates at a scale that accommodates both structured bilateral meetings and broader industry-level panel programming. ### Who is the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference NOT designed for? Several profiles are likely to find the event a poor fit. Managers with no operational or strategic connection to Luxembourg as a fund domicile will encounter a programme and an audience skewed toward jurisdictional and regulatory concerns specific to the Grand Duchy. Highly strategy-specific GPs seeking a concentrated LP-meeting programme in a single niche (such as pure-play secondaries or impact infrastructure) will find the generalist format less targeted than specialist forums on the circuit. Participants seeking deep LP concentration ratios (comparable to invitation-only LP-GP summits with 50/50 splits) will not find that format here: the LP composition is not disclosed, and the event draws heavily from the service provider community. Fintech startups attending on the concessionary rate are limited to one-day participation unless the two-day rate is taken, which may constrain meaningful engagement across the full programme. Finally, delegates based outside Luxembourg with no immediate mandate to evaluate Luxembourg as a structuring or distribution hub may find the thematic density weighted toward concerns that are not operationally relevant to their current priorities. ### How many speakers present at the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference? For the 2026 edition, approximately 53 speakers are expected in total, with 3 keynote speakers confirmed individually on the ALFI website. A complete speaker list is available for download via alfi.lu/events/alfi-global-asset-management-conference-2026. The precise confirmed count is not accessible in structured form via public web search as of verification. ### Is the ALFI Global Asset Management Conference held every year? Yes, the conference is an annual event. It is described as ALFI's flagship global conference. The 2026 edition runs on 24 and 25 March. No creation year is publicly disclosed for the series. --- ## The venue: European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL) The European Convention Center Luxembourg is a purpose-built conference facility located on the Kirchberg plateau in Luxembourg City, a district that also houses the institutions of the European Union in Luxembourg, including the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Investment Bank. The ECCL is one of the largest convention venues in the country, designed to accommodate events at the scale the ALFI conference requires. Its Kirchberg location places it within walking distance of major financial and institutional addresses in Luxembourg City, which reinforces the practical character of the event for participants whose working relationships are concentrated in that district. ## The organiser: ALFI ALFI, the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry, is the representative body for Luxembourg's investment fund sector, one of the largest fund domiciles in the world. The organisation operates from Luxembourg and runs a portfolio of conferences, roundtables, and educational programmes for the industry it represents. Its founding year and full portfolio size are not publicly disclosed in the available data. ALFI is classified here as a commercial publisher in terms of its event-operating model. The Global Asset Management Conference is its primary annual gathering, positioned as the definitive forum for the Luxembourg fund community and its international partners. --- ## Editorial take *The ALFI Global Asset Management Conference occupies a specific and non-substitutable slot on the spring EMEA circuit: it is where Luxembourg's fund industry convenes in full, making attendance close to mandatory for any manager or service provider for whom the Grand Duchy is a live operational concern, and correspondingly peripheral for those whose work sits entirely outside that jurisdictional orbit.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled through the ALFI website at alfi.lu/events/alfi-global-asset-management-conference-2026. The event operates on an application model: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted. Asset managers and institutional investors based outside Luxembourg may attend free of charge, subject to a completed application submitted before 19 March 2026. Fintech startups may attend under a concessionary rate of 550 EUR for one day or 800 EUR for both days, subject to conditions. Standard delegate pricing for other categories is not disclosed on publicly available sources as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Do asset managers based outside Luxembourg pay to attend? Asset managers and institutional investors based outside Luxembourg may attend free of charge, provided they submit a completed application before 19 March 2026. The application is reviewed by the organiser. This condition applies specifically to the categories named; other delegate categories carry rates that are not publicly disclosed. ### What does it cost for a fintech startup to attend? Fintech startups may register at 550 EUR for single-day attendance or 800 EUR for both days. Conditions apply to this concessionary category; the specific eligibility criteria are not set out in detail on publicly accessible sources as of verification. ### Can delegates schedule 1:1 meetings in advance? Yes. The conference includes a structured 1:1 meeting system with advance scheduling. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser as part of the access process, which suggests that meeting access is conditional rather than open to all registered delegates. No dedicated matchmaking application is disclosed for the 2026 edition. ### Where can I find the full speaker list and programme? ALFI publishes a downloadable speaker list for the 2026 edition at alfi.lu/events/alfi-global-asset-management-conference-2026. The programme and session-level detail are managed through the same page.

It brings together fund managers, institutional investors, placement agents, and service providers active in the private assets space. The event takes place each November in Luxembourg and draws, according to the organiser, more than 800 attendees. The creation year is not publicly documented. ## The 2026 edition: 9–10 November in Luxembourg The 2026 edition is scheduled for 9 and 10 November at the European Convention Center Luxembourg. At the time of verification, ALFI had not yet published a confirmed programme, speaker list, or edition theme for 2026. The registration portal is live and pricing tiers are in effect, with early bird rates available until 30 April 2026. ## Where the ALFI Private Assets Conference sits in the autumn circuit November places this event inside the densest segment of the EMEA private capital calendar, when the Paris and Amsterdam cluster of GP-LP gatherings is winding down and year-end fundraising conversations are accelerating. Luxembourg's position as the dominant European fund domicile gives the event a distinct jurisdictional identity: attendees are not only capital allocators and fund managers but also the legal, tax, and administration infrastructure that makes Luxembourg-domiciled vehicles possible. That combination is less common in events anchored in financial capitals such as Paris or London. ## Who attends the ALFI Private Assets Conference - Private equity fund managers and general partners active in buyout, growth, and venture strategies - Private debt managers covering direct lending, mezzanine, and special situations - Real estate fund managers domiciled or operating in Luxembourg - Institutional investors including pension funds, insurance companies, and funds of funds considering or maintaining Luxembourg-domiciled allocations - Placement agents and fundraising advisers serving fund managers in the EMEA market - Fund administrators, depositaries, legal counsel, and tax advisers serving the Luxembourg fund industry - Students enrolled in finance or digital programmes, eligible for complimentary access subject to application ## What the ALFI Private Assets Conference format includes - Plenary and breakout sessions on private equity, private debt, and real estate themes - Trade exhibition with stands for service providers and industry participants - Walking lunches integrated into the programme to extend meeting time - Refreshment breaks structured as networking intervals - Advance-scheduled bilateral meetings, with LP applications reviewed by the organiser The number of stages, specific session titles, confirmed speakers, and any special formats beyond those listed above are not publicly documented for the 2026 edition as of verification. ## How meetings are scheduled at the ALFI Private Assets Conference The conference operates an advance-scheduling mechanism for bilateral meetings. LP applications are submitted and reviewed by the organiser before the event, introducing a qualification layer for institutional investors seeking structured meeting access. Walking lunches and refreshment breaks are embedded in the programme schedule and function as extensions of the formal meeting period rather than purely social intervals. A dedicated networking application is not publicly listed for the 2026 edition. ## What the ALFI Private Assets Conference programme covers The thematic scope of the conference centres on private capital strategies, specifically: - Private equity fund structuring, performance, and market dynamics - Private debt instruments including direct lending and credit strategies - Real estate funds and fund vehicle structures domiciled in Luxembourg - Luxembourg's regulatory and domiciliation environment for private assets - Financing and fund structuring questions relevant to EMEA market participants Confirmed session titles, keynote speakers, and a detailed agenda for 2026 are not published as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is the ALFI Private Assets Conference, and who is it built for? The ALFI Private Assets Conference is an annual industry gathering organised by Luxembourg's principal fund industry association. It is structured for practitioners across the private assets value chain: fund managers raising and operating vehicles, institutional allocators reviewing or maintaining Luxembourg exposures, and the legal and operational service layer that supports fund domiciliation. The event is not a capital markets conference or a public equities forum. ### What does attending the ALFI Private Assets Conference offer that a generic LP-GP summit does not? The Luxembourg domiciliation angle gives the event a specific utility that generalist summits do not replicate. A significant share of attendees are directly involved in the structuring, administration, or regulation of Luxembourg-domiciled private assets vehicles. For fund managers selecting or managing a Luxembourg RAIF, SIF, or SICAR structure, and for allocators whose investment committee requires familiarity with vehicle mechanics, the service provider density at this event is higher than at strategy-focused summits held in other European capitals. ### Who is the ALFI Private Assets Conference NOT designed for? Five profiles for whom the event is a poor fit: first, fund managers with no exposure to or interest in Luxembourg as a fund domicile, who will find the jurisdictional content marginal to their agenda. Second, early-stage managers raising sub-100 million EUR funds, for whom the registration cost relative to the likely LP meeting yield is unfavourable compared with smaller, more curated LP-GP forums. Third, allocators seeking a high-density bilateral meeting programme comparable to dedicated LP-GP summits: the advance-scheduling system exists, but the conference is structured primarily around sessions and exhibition rather than a closed meeting grid. Fourth, professionals focused exclusively on listed, liquid, or public market strategies, for whom private assets content is peripheral. Fifth, participants from outside the EMEA time zone seeking an international GP-LP matching event: the Luxembourg focus gives the event a regional and jurisdictional specificity that limits its utility for managers targeting North American or Asian LP capital. ### Is the ALFI Private Assets Conference open to attendees outside Luxembourg? Yes. The event operates an open registration model. Asset managers and institutional investors based outside Luxembourg are eligible to apply for complimentary access, subject to organiser review. All other attendees register through the standard tiered pricing structure available on the ALFI website. --- ## The venue: European Convention Center Luxembourg The European Convention Center Luxembourg (ECCL) sits within the Kirchberg district, Luxembourg's institutional and European quarter, adjacent to the European Parliament building and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The centre is one of the largest purpose-built conference facilities in the Grand Duchy, configured for large plenary formats as well as parallel breakout rooms and exhibition space. Its location in Kirchberg places it within proximity of the major banks, fund administrators, and law firms concentrated in that district, which is practical for side meetings that extend beyond the official programme. Public transport connections to Luxembourg City centre and the Gare de Luxembourg are available. ## The organiser: ALFI ALFI, the Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry, is the representative body for the Luxembourg investment fund sector. It acts as the principal advocate for Luxembourg's position as a European and global fund domiciliation centre, engaging with regulators, European institutions, and international standard-setting bodies. ALFI organises a portfolio of events covering the full range of fund strategies and investor types active in Luxembourg, of which the Private Assets Conference is the dedicated vehicle for private equity, private debt, and real estate practitioners. The organiser's city headquarters and founding year are not publicly documented in available sources. ALFI operates as an industry association rather than a commercial publisher, though the organiser type recorded in available data indicates a commercial publisher classification. --- ## Editorial take *The ALFI Private Assets Conference is the one event on the autumn circuit where the Luxembourg service and regulatory infrastructure sits in the room alongside the fund managers and allocators, making it a practical rather than purely educational stop for anyone whose fund operations run through the Grand Duchy.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is open and conducted through the ALFI website. Pricing is tiered by ALFI membership status, registration timing, and whether delegates attend one day or both days. Early bird rates are available until 30 April 2026. Standard rates apply from 1 May to 25 September 2026, and late rates apply from 26 September 2026 onward. For ALFI members, two-day registration runs from 990 EUR (early bird) to 1,490 EUR (standard) to 1,690 EUR (late). For non-members, the equivalent range is 1,480 EUR to 1,990 EUR to 2,190 EUR. One-day rates begin at 590 EUR for ALFI members (early bird) and 990 EUR for non-members (early bird). Two complimentary access categories exist: asset managers and institutional investors based outside Luxembourg may apply for free registration, subject to organiser review; students enrolled in university programmes with a finance or digital major may also apply. Both categories require a formal application. Sponsorship pricing is not publicly disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### What are the registration deadlines for the 2026 edition? Three pricing windows apply. Early bird pricing closes 30 April 2026. Standard pricing runs from 1 May to 25 September 2026. Late pricing applies from 26 September 2026 until the event on 9–10 November 2026. Delegates registering earlier capture a meaningful cost advantage, particularly non-members attending both days. ### Can institutional investors attend for free? Yes, subject to conditions. Asset managers and institutional investors based outside Luxembourg may apply for complimentary registration. The application is reviewed by ALFI. The process is not automatic: applicants must meet the eligibility criterion and receive organiser approval before accessing the free registration. ### Is a networking or meeting-scheduling app available? A dedicated networking application for the 2026 edition is not publicly listed as of verification. Advance scheduling of bilateral meetings is available, with LP applications reviewed by the organiser. Walking lunches and refreshment breaks are embedded in the programme to support informal meeting volume. ### Where can delegates find the programme and speaker list for 2026? As of verification in May 2026, ALFI had not published a confirmed programme or speaker list for the 2026 edition. Both are expected to appear on the official event page at alfi.lu as the November dates approach. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.alfi.lu/en-gb/pages/our-events/2026-sponsorship-key-features-and-advantages/private-assets-conference | | Register | https://www.alfi.lu/en-gb/pages/our-events/2026-sponsorship-key-features-and-advantages/private-assets-conference | | Programme | not disclosed | | Speaker list | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Figures drawn from ALFI official event pages and partner source ATOZ Tax Advisers; no confirmed speaker list or programme published at time of verification; organiser type listed as "commercial publisher" in source data though ALFI operates as an industry association, the discrepancy is preserved without correction; creation year not publicly documented. **Variables:** 35/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/apex-invest-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Apex Invest Europe > *Apex Invest Europe is the European edition of Apex Group's global investment conference series, held in Zurich and structured around a formalised one-to-one meeting programme between limited partners and fund managers.

Approximately 300 attendees participate, with the format designed to maximise productive capital conversations rather than broadcast conference content. The LP-to-GP meeting structure is central to the event's value: pre-scheduled bilateral meetings are the primary product, supported by panel sessions and networking. Zurich's position as a hub for Swiss institutional investors and international fund managers based in the city makes it an efficient venue for a format built around concentrated capital conversations. Apex Group's positioning as a fund administration and investor services provider shapes the event's orientation: the gathering sits at the intersection of operational and capital market perspectives on private fund management. For GPs seeking structured access to European institutional capital in a concentrated format, Apex Invest Europe offers an alternative to the larger open-access conferences on the EMEA circuit. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/apex-invest-middle-east.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Apex Invest Middle East > *Apex Invest Middle East is the regional edition of Apex Group's global investment conference series, held in Abu Dhabi with approximately 300 attendees and a distinctive LP-to-GP ratio of 2:1, placing more than 200 allocators in the room alongside approximately 100 fund managers.

The structured meeting programme is the event's central product, operating as an organised matchmaking mechanism between Gulf and international institutional investors and private capital managers. The 2:1 LP-to-GP ratio is exceptional on the EMEA circuit, where most events balance the ratio closer to parity or tilt toward GPs. Maintaining allocator dominance requires active management of registration, which Apex Group achieves through selective access policies and its relationships with regional institutional investors, family offices, and sovereign vehicles. Abu Dhabi's concentration of institutional capital, anchored by sovereign wealth funds and backed by a growing domestic institutional investor base, makes it the most capital-intensive destination on the Gulf circuit. For fund managers seeking structured access to Gulf allocators in a format where conversation quality is protected by the event's design, Apex Invest Middle East provides a concentrated alternative to the larger general conferences on the regional calendar. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/arctic15.md # Last verified: 2026-05-08 # Arctic15 > *Two-day matchmaking and deal-making event held annually in Helsinki each June, gathering startup founders, venture capital investors, and institutional allocators from the Nordic and Baltic region for structured 1:1 meetings, workshops, and innovation showcases.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **11–12 June 2026** | **Cable Factory** | **ArcticStartup Media Oy** | **2,000** | | 2 days, Thursday–Friday | Helsinki, Finland | Finland | delegates (self-reported) | ## Definition Arctic15 is an annual two-day event held at the Cable Factory in Helsinki, focused on startup matchmaking and venture deal-making in the Nordic and Baltic region. Now in its fifteenth edition, it brings together startup founders and venture capital investors for structured 1:1 meetings through a dedicated Deal Room system, alongside open-format programme content. It sits within the spring cluster of the European tech and private capital calendar, with a geographic centre of gravity that is distinctly Nordic. ## The 2026 edition: 11–12 June in Helsinki The fifteenth edition of Arctic15 takes place on 11 and 12 June 2026 at the Cable Factory in Helsinki. No edition theme has been announced publicly as of verification. The organiser's website carries a preliminary programme page, but the full speaker list for 2026 has not been published. Two confirmed speakers have been identified through a third-party aggregator; the organiser itself notes that keynotes, panels, and fireside conversations will form part of the programme without disclosing the confirmed lineup at this stage. ## Where Arctic15 sits in the Nordic spring calendar June in Helsinki places Arctic15 at the tail end of the European spring events cluster, after the denser concentration of private capital gatherings in Amsterdam and Paris during May. For investors and founders operating across Scandinavia and the Baltic states, the timing aligns with the Nordic summer fundraising window before activity quiets in July and August. The event's positioning as the region's principal venture matchmaking forum gives it a distinct slot: there are few competing gatherings of equivalent scale in the Nordic geography during the same fortnight. ## Who attends Arctic15 - Startup founders and early-stage entrepreneurs, primarily from Nordic and Baltic countries, seeking investor introductions and deal-making opportunities. - Venture capital fund managers (GPs), including both regional Nordic funds and international VCs with Nordic portfolio exposure. - Institutional investors (LPs) from banks, corporate investors, development finance institutions, endowments, family offices, foundations, insurance companies, investment consultants, pension funds, registered investment advisers, and sovereign wealth funds, who attend on a complimentary basis. - Innovation officers, corporate venture arms, and technology scouts attending the 100 Innovations showcase. - Service providers to the startup and VC community, including legal, financial, and advisory firms. ## What the Arctic15 format includes - Structured 1:1 meetings through the Deal Room, the core mechanism of the event, pre-scheduled between founders and investors. - Roundtables, grouping smaller cohorts around specific topics or sectors. - Workshops, practical sessions with direct participation rather than passive attendance. - Demo stands, where startups exhibit products and technologies to passing attendees. - 100 Innovations showcase, a curated selection of startup projects presented to investors and the broader audience. - Keynotes, panels, and fireside conversations, running in parallel to the matchmaking infrastructure. The number of stages operating simultaneously is not publicly disclosed. Specific session names, confirmed speakers, and the full thematic track breakdown for the 2026 edition are not available as of verification. The organiser has noted fifteen thematic tracks in its event description, but track names and assignments are not published. ## How the Arctic15 Deal Room meeting system works The Deal Room is the operational centre of Arctic15. Investors and founders request and pre-schedule 1:1 meetings ahead of the event, creating a structured agenda before either party arrives in Helsinki. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser, meaning institutional allocators do not self-register without a qualification step. This filter is designed to maintain a minimum quality threshold in the investor pool accessible to founders. The matchmaking infrastructure extends beyond the Deal Room into roundtables and workshops, giving participants additional structured contact points beyond the bilateral meeting format. No official networking application is disclosed for the 2026 edition; the scheduling mechanism operates through the registration and application process on the organiser's website. ## What the Arctic15 programme covers Arctic15 is positioned as a generalist event within the startup and venture capital space, without a declared sector focus. The thematic orientation is determined by the Nordic innovation economy, which concentrates on technology, digital infrastructure, and adjacent sectors. The organiser describes fifteen thematic tracks for the event, though the individual track names are not publicly available. Core programme dimensions, based on available data, include: - Venture capital matchmaking and deal flow between founders and investors. - Nordic startup innovation, with emphasis on emerging technology from Scandinavian and Baltic markets. - Deal-making mechanics, including co-investment, follow-on rounds, and early-stage fundraising. - Innovation showcasing through the 100 Innovations format. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of investor goes to Arctic15? Arctic15 draws both venture capital fund managers and institutional LPs. The GP constituency is primarily composed of Nordic-focused VCs and international funds with active Nordic deal flow. On the LP side, the event extends complimentary access to a broad range of institutional allocators, from pension funds and sovereign wealth funds to family offices, endowments, and development finance institutions. The LP qualification process requires an application reviewed by the organiser rather than open self-registration. ### Is Arctic15 a private capital event or a startup conference? It is structurally both. The Deal Room and LP complimentary access programme give it genuine private capital infrastructure: institutional allocators attend specifically to meet GPs and assess deal flow, not to watch panels. At the same time, the event's public identity centres on startups and Nordic innovation, and its open-access pricing for founders makes it significantly more accessible than closed institutional LP and GP summits. The balance tilts toward venture-stage deal-making rather than buyout or private credit. ### Who is Arctic15 NOT designed for? Five cases where the event is a poor fit. First, late-stage or growth equity investors focused on Series C and beyond will find the deal flow concentrated in early and mid-stage rounds; the startup population skews earlier. Second, private credit, infrastructure, and real assets managers have no natural constituency here: the programme and attendee base are oriented toward equity and venture, not debt or hard assets. Third, LPs seeking GP-to-LP meetings with established large-cap buyout funds will not find that population in material numbers. Fourth, non-Nordic founders or investors without existing or intended Nordic exposure may find the geographic specificity of the deal flow and network limiting relative to pan-European events. Fifth, participants who prefer passive conference formats with dense keynote schedules over structured meeting commitments will find Arctic15's architecture works against them: the Deal Room dynamic rewards those who prepare and pre-schedule rather than those who attend to observe. ### How does Arctic15 compare to broader European VC events? Arctic15 is geographically concentrated in a way that pan-European events such as Web Summit or Slush are not. Its scale (2,000 delegates according to the organiser) is smaller than the largest European tech gatherings, and its matchmaking-first design means the ratio of meetings per participant is prioritised over speaker programme density. For investors and founders specifically seeking Nordic deal flow, this geographic and format specificity is an asset. For those seeking a pan-European sweep in a single event, it is a constraint. ## The venue: Cable Factory The Cable Factory (Kaapelitehdas in Finnish) is a former Nokia cable manufacturing plant converted into one of Helsinki's principal cultural and events venues. Located in the Ruoholahti district near the city's western waterfront, it covers roughly 50,000 square metres across several interconnected halls and is used year-round for exhibitions, concerts, and large-format professional gatherings. The scale of the building accommodates both the Deal Room's meeting infrastructure and the expo and showcase areas simultaneously without significant crowding. Side events and informal gatherings in the adjacent neighbourhood are a practical extension of the main programme; the venue's industrial architecture and proximity to the city centre make it well suited to the after-hours schedule that typically accompanies events of this type. ## The organiser: ArcticStartup Media Oy ArcticStartup Media Oy is a Finnish commercial publisher and event operator. The company operates the Arctic15 event and runs ArcticStartup, a media platform covering Nordic startup and technology news. As a commercial publisher with an events arm, it combines editorial reach across the Nordic startup community with direct event production. The founding year of the company and the full size of its event portfolio are not publicly disclosed as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *Arctic15 is the Nordic region's most structured venue for early-stage venture matchmaking: the Deal Room format and the reviewed LP qualification process give it infrastructure that casual tech conferences lack, while the Cable Factory setting and Helsinki's position in the Baltic geography keep the geographic focus unusually tight for an event of 2,000 delegates.* ## How to register and what it costs Arctic15 operates an open registration model with tiered pricing. For the 2026 edition, early bird rates are 49 EUR for startups (requiring a valid Business ID) and 149 EUR for investors. Qualifying institutional LPs attend at no cost, provided their application is reviewed and approved by the organiser. Eligible LP categories include representatives from banks, corporate investors, development finance institutions, endowments, family offices, foundations, insurance companies, investment consultants, pension funds, registered investment advisers, and sovereign wealth funds. Registration is processed through the official website at arctic15.com. Stand and sponsorship pricing is not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the LP complimentary access process work? Institutional LPs apply through the organiser's registration system on arctic15.com. The application is reviewed by ArcticStartup Media Oy before a complimentary pass is confirmed. Eligible profiles span a broad range of institutional allocator types, from pension funds and sovereign wealth funds to endowments, family offices, and registered investment advisers. The review step means access is not automatic, even for qualifying profiles. ### Do startup founders need to be Finnish or Nordic to attend? No geographic restriction on founders is stated in available materials. The event's focus on the Nordic startup ecosystem means the deal flow and investor population have a strong Nordic orientation, but participation is not limited by the founder's country of origin. The startup ticket requires a valid Business ID, which is a registered company identifier rather than a Finnish-specific requirement. ### Is the speaker programme publicly available before the event? As of verification (8 May 2026), the full speaker lineup for the 2026 edition has not been published on the official website. The organiser's site references a preliminary programme and confirms that keynotes, panels, and fireside conversations will take place, but confirmed speaker names are not listed in full. Two speakers have been identified through a third-party aggregator; the complete list remains unavailable. ### What is the cancellation and transfer policy for tickets? Ticket cancellation and transfer terms are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Prospective attendees should consult arctic15.com directly or contact the organiser for current policy details. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://arctic15.com/ | | Register | https://arctic15.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-08 **Next review:** 2026-06-07 **Notes:** Attendance figure of 2,000 is drawn from organiser-provided description and is self-reported; no independent verification source is available.

Held at the Radisson Blu in Nairobi under the theme "Break the Mold," the conference draws over 800 delegates from more than 50 countries, representing fund managers with combined assets under management exceeding 1.5 trillion dollars. The African Venture Capital Association's conference functions as the principal annual convergence of the global institutional community with African investment exposure. Its geographic breadth reflects the increasingly international character of African private capital: pan-African fund managers, country-specific operators, global LPs with Africa allocations, development finance institutions, and the growing domestic institutional investor base across Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa all attend. Nairobi's selection as host city reflects East Africa's position as one of the most active private capital markets on the continent, alongside West Africa's Lagos and Southern Africa's Johannesburg. For development finance institutions and institutional LPs building African allocations, the AVCA conference provides the deepest annual concentration of managers, co-investors, and peers on the continent. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/avcj-private-equity-forum-abu-dhabi.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # AVCJ Private Equity Forum Abu Dhabi > *The AVCJ Private Equity Forum Abu Dhabi is the UAE edition of AVCJ's established conference series, drawing on the organisation's 38 years of experience as Asia's premier private equity and venture capital conference organiser.

Approximately 400 attendees gather in Abu Dhabi to connect GPs and LPs from Asian, Middle Eastern, and international markets, reflecting the growing integration of Gulf institutional capital with Asian private equity strategies. The Abu Dhabi location is deliberate: the emirate's sovereign wealth vehicles, including Mubadala and ADIA, have become significant allocators to Asian private equity, and the Forum provides a structured context for deepening relationships between Gulf LPs and the Asian managers who rely on their capital. The AVCJ brand's strength in Asian markets gives the event credibility with Asian-focused GPs seeking Gulf investor exposure. The format combines conference content on Asian and emerging market private equity with a structured meeting programme. For Asian managers running dual-track LP development strategies that include the Gulf, the Forum represents a concentrated entry point to the Abu Dhabi institutional ecosystem, distinct from the purely Gulf-focused events on the EMEA calendar. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/bvca-european-private-capital-conference-middle-east-abu-dhabi.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # BVCA European Private Capital Conference Middle East Abu Dhabi > *The BVCA European Private Capital Conference Middle East Abu Dhabi is a half-day conference organised by the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, designed exclusively for European GPs, local LPs, and investment consultants.

Approximately 200 attendees participate in a format that reflects the BVCA's strategic commitment to supporting its member firms in accessing Gulf institutional capital. The half-day format is compact by design: it concentrates the value into a focused programme of presentations, facilitated discussions, and structured networking rather than a multi-session conference schedule. The exclusivity of the audience, European managers and Gulf allocators, creates conditions for direct commercial conversation without the dilution of a general audience. Abu Dhabi's institutional investor landscape, including sovereign wealth funds, pension vehicles, and family offices associated with ruling families and trading conglomerates, represents significant capital for European private equity managers. The BVCA's convening authority with its member firms gives the event access to senior GP principals who would not attend a general networking event. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/bvca-european-private-capital-conference-middle-east-dubai.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # BVCA European Private Capital Conference Middle East Dubai > *The BVCA European Private Capital Conference Middle East Dubai is the Dubai edition of the BVCA's Gulf outreach conference series, mirroring the Abu Dhabi format with a half-day programme designed for European fund managers and local Middle East allocators.

Approximately 200 attendees participate in a compact, commercially focused gathering under the BVCA's convening authority. Dubai's distinct profile as a hub for international family office capital, regional wealth management, and the Middle East operations of global financial institutions gives the Dubai edition a different audience character from Abu Dhabi, where sovereign and quasi-sovereign capital dominates. Dubai's allocator base is more diverse: international family offices, private wealth managers, and the regional offices of global institutions sit alongside Emirati institutional investors. For European GPs with existing relationships in both emirates, the two-event format provides the efficiency of addressing both capital pools in a single Gulf trip. The BVCA's direct involvement gives both events a degree of institutional legitimacy that independently organised GP roadshows cannot replicate. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/bvca-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # BVCA Summit > *Annual two-day flagship gathering of the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, held in London each September, bringing together approximately 1,200 private capital professionals including GPs, LPs, placement agents, and service providers for policy debate, market outlook sessions, and structured roundtables.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **9–10 September 2026** | **Convene Sancroft, St. Paul's** | **BVCA** | **~1,200** | | 2 days, Tuesday to Wednesday | London, United Kingdom | United Kingdom | delegates (source: organiser description) | --- ## Definition The BVCA Summit is the annual flagship event of the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association, convening general partners, limited partners, placement agents, and service providers over two days in London. It serves as the primary forum for the UK private capital industry to address policy, market direction, ESG, and investment conditions. The summit combines keynote speeches, panel discussions, roundtables, and one-to-one meetings. It is held each year in September at a central London venue. ## The 2026 edition: 9–10 September in London The 2026 edition takes place on 9 and 10 September at Convene Sancroft, St. Paul's in the City of London. No edition theme has been published as of the verification date. The speaker programme had not been released at the time of verification, with the organiser's speakers page for 2026 returning no confirmed names. The event runs across two full days. ## Where the BVCA Summit sits in the autumn private capital calendar The BVCA Summit opens the EMEA private capital autumn circuit. September in London precedes the dense October and November cluster anchored in Paris and Amsterdam, giving the Summit a distinctive position as the UK industry's first major gathering after the summer recess. For managers and allocators with a UK regulatory or portfolio focus, it functions as the calendar reference point before the continental autumn sequence begins. ## Who attends the BVCA Summit - **General partners:** fund managers across private equity, venture capital, and growth strategies based predominantly in the UK market, with two complimentary tickets available per firm at partner level or above. - **Limited partners:** institutional allocators including pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, and family offices; complimentary access. - **Placement agents:** intermediaries active in fund distribution and LP introductions. - **Professional services firms:** advisers, lawyers, accountants, fund administrators, and other service providers to the private capital industry, subject to separate ticketing. - **Policy and regulatory stakeholders:** attendees connected to the UK regulatory and policy environment relevant to private capital. ## What the BVCA Summit format includes - Keynote speeches setting the macro and policy context for UK private capital. - Panel discussions covering market outlook, strategy performance, and structural themes. - Roundtable sessions providing smaller-group structured discussion on defined topics. - One-to-one meetings enabling bilateral conversations between GPs, LPs, and advisers. The total number of stages and the specific session titles for the 2026 programme have not been published as of the verification date. The count of confirmed speakers is not yet disclosed. ## How meetings are scheduled at the BVCA Summit The format integrates roundtables and one-to-one meetings alongside the open conference programme. Whether advance scheduling of bilateral meetings is available through a dedicated platform or app is not publicly disclosed as of verification. No official networking application has been confirmed for the 2026 edition. The combination of roundtable formats with bilateral meeting capacity indicates that the event is structured to generate direct contact between GPs and LPs beyond passive session attendance. ## What the BVCA Summit programme covers The programme addresses themes relevant to the UK private capital industry. Based on the organiser's description of the event, the documented areas of focus include: - UK investment conditions and policy environment. - Market outlook across private equity and venture capital. - ESG and responsible investment practice. - Private capital financing and deal activity. Specific session titles, speaker names, and the edition theme for 2026 have not been published at the time of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of professional is the BVCA Summit built for? The Summit is designed for practitioners working within or directly alongside the UK private capital industry: GPs running private equity or venture capital funds, LPs allocating to those funds, intermediaries facilitating capital formation, and professional services firms advising the industry. The policy content and regulatory framing are calibrated to the UK market specifically. It is not a generalist finance conference; the audience is sector-specific. ### What is the LP and GP balance at the BVCA Summit? The breakdown between LP and GP attendees is not disclosed by the organiser as of verification. The overall attendance figure cited is approximately 1,200. Both populations receive complimentary access, which suggests the organiser prioritises broad participation across both sides of the capital relationship rather than managing a fixed ratio. ### How does the BVCA Summit differ from generalist EMEA private capital events? The Summit is explicitly the flagship event of a national industry association, the BVCA, rather than a commercially neutral multi-geography forum. Its content and attendee base are shaped by the UK regulatory and policy environment. Events such as IPEM or SuperReturn draw a more geographically distributed and strategy-diverse audience. The BVCA Summit carries institutional weight within the UK market that those events cannot replicate, but it does not position itself as the primary venue for pan-European LP-GP capital formation. ### When does attending the BVCA Summit not make sense? Several profiles are a poor fit. Fund managers with no UK portfolio exposure, LP mandate, or regulatory relationship will find the policy content largely irrelevant to their work. Non-English-speaking allocators seeking an event with multilingual programming will not find that here. GPs at very early formation stage who are not yet meeting institutional LPs may find the event premature relative to their fundraising readiness. Continental European service providers without a UK-facing practice gain limited commercial utility from the attendee mix. Professionals seeking a high-density structured LP-GP meeting programme with advance scheduling infrastructure may find the bilateral meeting component thinner than at purpose-built matchmaking events such as IPEM or the PEI LP/GP Roundtable. --- ## The venue: Convene Sancroft, St. Paul's Convene Sancroft is a managed conference and event venue located in the City of London, immediately adjacent to St. Paul's Cathedral. The building sits within one of London's primary financial districts, placing it in close proximity to the offices of asset managers, law firms, fund administrators, and institutional investors. Convene operates a portfolio of venue-as-a-service locations across major cities; the Sancroft site is a purpose-built professional event space. Its City location supports the side-dinner and informal networking culture that extends the formal programme for events of this kind, with a concentration of suitable venues within walking distance. ## The organiser: BVCA The BVCA, the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association, is the industry body for the UK private capital sector. It represents fund managers, institutional investors, and professional advisers active in private equity and venture capital in the United Kingdom. The association produces research, engages with policymakers and regulators on behalf of its members, and runs an annual events programme of which the Summit is the centrepiece. Its founding year is not documented in the available data. The BVCA is classified as an industry association rather than a commercial event publisher, which shapes both the access model (complimentary for GPs and LPs) and the policy-weighted content of the Summit. The organiser portfolio size is not disclosed. --- ## Editorial take *The BVCA Summit functions as the annual institutional checkpoint for the UK private capital industry: a two-day gathering where the association's convening authority, combined with a central London location and complimentary access for GPs and LPs, produces a concentration of senior practitioners that few commercially organised events in the same market can replicate.* --- ## How to register and what it costs GP firms receive two complimentary tickets per firm, with the condition that at least one ticket is used by a partner-level attendee or above. LP attendees receive complimentary access. Professional services delegates are subject to separate pricing; early bird rates were available until 12 June 2026, with discounts of up to £300 per ticket on bulk bookings. Standard delegate rates for professional services are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Registration is handled through the official BVCA events page. The event operates an open access model, meaning attendance is not restricted to BVCA members, though member and non-member pricing may differ for service provider tickets. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do GPs register for the BVCA Summit? GP firms register via the official BVCA website. Each firm receives two complimentary tickets, with the requirement that at least one is allocated to a partner-level attendee or above. Additional tickets beyond the two complimentary places are subject to pricing terms not publicly disclosed as of verification. ### Is the BVCA Summit open to non-BVCA members? The event operates an open access model, meaning it is not restricted to association members. However, pricing tiers for non-members within the professional services category are not specified in the publicly available information as of verification. ### Are accommodation and travel arrangements provided by the organiser? No hotel block or official accommodation arrangement is documented for the 2026 edition. The venue is located in the City of London, which offers extensive hotel infrastructure at varying price points within walking distance or a short journey from Convene Sancroft. Specific organiser guidance on travel or accommodation has not been published as of verification. ### What is the cancellation and substitution policy for delegates? Cancellation and substitution terms for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of the verification date. Delegates should consult the registration confirmation and the BVCA events page directly for applicable terms. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.bvca.co.uk/events/calendar/summit-2026.html | | Register | https://www.bvca.co.uk/events/calendar/summit-2026.html | | Programme | not disclosed | | Speakers | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Source is the official BVCA event page and organiser-provided description; speaker programme not yet published as of verification date; attendance figure drawn from organiser description and treated as self-reported; organiser founding year, city, and portfolio size are not documented in the available data; full address field in source data is incomplete and has been omitted from the public fiche. **Variables:** 34/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/cee-vc-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # CEE VC Summit > *The CEE VC Summit is the principal annual gathering for the Central and Eastern European private equity and venture capital ecosystem, bringing together approximately 800 general partners, limited partners, advisors, and ecosystem participants for two days of invitation-only programming in Warsaw. O* --- ## Quick Facts | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---| | **Warsaw** | **Vestbee** | **800+** | | Poland | https://www.vestbee.com/cee-vc-summit | 2 days | --- The CEE VC Summit is the principal annual gathering for the Central and Eastern European private equity and venture capital ecosystem, bringing together approximately 800 general partners, limited partners, advisors, and ecosystem participants for two days of invitation-only programming in Warsaw. Organised by Vestbee, the event covers the full arc of private capital activity across the CEE region: fund management, portfolio company development, institutional allocation, and the policy environment shaping venture and growth investing from Warsaw to Bucharest. The Summit operates on an invitation basis, managing attendance to preserve the quality of interaction between active practitioners. With 200 or more GPs and LPs in the room, the event serves as the year's most significant point of contact between the regional fund management community and the institutional investors, family offices, and corporate venturers who allocate to CEE strategies. The CEE market occupies a specific position in the European private capital landscape. It combines the structural characteristics of an emerging market, higher growth rates, earlier stage of institutional development, and a larger spread between manager quality, with increasingly sophisticated LP participation from both domestic institutional investors and international allocators with dedicated CEE allocation. Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, and the Baltic states each present distinct investment conditions, and the Summit's programme reflects this diversity through country and sector-specific content alongside pan-regional strategic discussion. Warsaw anchors the event as Poland's financial capital and the CEE region's largest private capital hub. Poland's domestic LP base, including TFI investment funds, PZU Group, and the institutional arm of BGK alongside a growing venture capital programme supported by the Polish Development Fund, gives Warsaw a capital market depth that supports a substantial annual gathering. For international fund managers with CEE exposure and for domestic managers building LP relationships beyond the region, the Summit represents the most efficient annual access point to the Central and Eastern European investment community. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/engaged-investments-conference.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Engaged Investments Conference > *A two-day venture capital conference co-organised by DEPO Ventures and J&T Ventures, held in Prague, bringing together active investors, fund managers, and founders from Central, Eastern, and Baltic Europe for deal-focused networking, panels, and pitch sessions.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Prague** | **DEPO Ventures & J&T Ventures** | **Up to 500** | | 6th edition, 2026 | Czech Republic · specific venue not disclosed | Czech Republic | VC investors, founders, advisors (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The Engaged Investments Conference is an annual two-day gathering focused on venture capital in Central, Eastern, and Baltic Europe. Co-organised by DEPO Ventures and J&T Ventures, it brings together institutional investors, fund managers, founders, and advisors for structured networking, panels, and pitch activity. The conference is now in its sixth edition. Its declared purpose is deal-making and cross-border capital formation within the CEE and Baltic VC community. ## The sixth edition: Prague, 2026 The 2026 edition is the sixth instalment of the conference. It will take place in Prague, Czech Republic. Exact dates had not been published as of the verification date. The specific venue within Prague is not disclosed. Thematic priorities confirmed for 2026 include cross-border collaboration, technology transfer, exit strategies, capital formation in CEE, AI infrastructure, B2B fintech, defence, space, and longevity. ## Where Engaged Investments Conference sits in the spring and autumn VC calendar Prague occupies a distinct position in the EMEA private capital calendar. It sits outside the dominant Western European circuit anchored in Paris, Amsterdam, and London, and serves as a natural hub for the CEE and Baltic investor community. The Engaged Investments Conference fills a gap: there is no comparable dedicated VC gathering of this format and geographic focus operating at the same regularity in the region. Its annual cadence gives it a consistent role for the Central and Eastern European venture community, independent of the seasonal clustering that defines the Franco-Dutch autumn or the Riviera winter circuit. ## Who attends Engaged Investments Conference The following populations are documented as attending the event: - **VC investors** from the European Union and the United States, including institutional limited partners active in CEE-focused funds. - **VC fund managers (GPs)** operating in Central, Eastern, and Baltic Europe. - **Startup founders** from CEE countries, present as pitch participants and potential co-investment targets. - **Placement agents** facilitating introductions between fund managers and capital allocators. - **Advisors and service providers** supporting the private capital community in the region. The raw mix, as described by the organisers, is investors, fund managers, founders, and advisors. A precise breakdown by category (LP count, GP count, founder count) is not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## What the Engaged Investments Conference format includes The event is structured around four documented components: - **Panel sessions**, covering thematic topics relevant to CEE venture and cross-border investment. - **Pitch sessions**, in which founders present to an audience of investors and fund managers. - **Networking dinners**, providing structured social interaction beyond the main conference floor. - **Side events**, extending meeting volume and informal deal-flow conversations outside the main programme. The format is described as intimate, prioritising quality of interaction over delegate volume. Specific session names, stage count, speaker lineup, and any LP-only or GP-only closed formats are not publicly documented as of verification. ## How meetings and networking are structured at Engaged Investments Conference The conference does not publicly document a dedicated pre-scheduled meeting system or an official matchmaking application as of verification. Networking activity is structured primarily through the event's format itself: pitch sessions create a formal meeting context between founders and investors, while networking dinners and side events extend interaction time beyond panel hours. Whether an advance scheduling tool or curated meeting programme operates behind registration is not publicly disclosed. The intimate scale, capped at up to 500 participants according to the organiser, means that interaction density is managed through format and size rather than through a layered meeting platform. ## What the Engaged Investments Conference programme covers Confirmed thematic priorities for the 2026 edition span a range of sectors and strategic questions: - **Cross-border collaboration** between CEE ecosystems and Western European or US capital. - **Technology transfer**, with a focus on moving innovation out of research institutions and into fundable companies. - **Exit strategies**, addressing the thinness of the CEE exit market and routes to liquidity for VC-backed companies. - **Capital formation in CEE**, covering LP appetite, fund structures, and the fundraising environment specific to the region. - **AI infrastructure**, examining the investment opportunity in compute, data, and enabling layers. - **B2B fintech**, as a sector with demonstrated traction in CEE markets. - **Defence and cybersecurity**, reflecting the shift in European VC attention toward dual-use and defence-tech opportunities. - **Space**, as an emerging vertical attracting early-stage institutional interest. - **Longevity**, covering healthspan, biotech, and longevity-focused investment theses. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of investor is the Engaged Investments Conference designed for? The conference targets VC investors and fund managers active in or seeking exposure to Central, Eastern, and Baltic Europe. This includes institutional LPs with allocations to CEE-focused funds, GPs managing regional strategies, and US-based investors looking for cross-border deal flow. The pitch session format makes it equally relevant to founders seeking capital from that investor base. ### What sectors and strategies does the conference focus on? The 2026 programme is generalist in structure but regionally specific in orientation. Confirmed topics include AI infrastructure, B2B fintech, defence, space, and longevity, alongside cross-cutting themes of exit strategy and cross-border capital formation. The event does not specialise in a single vertical. Its defining characteristic is the CEE and Baltic geographic focus, not a sector-exclusive agenda. ### How does the Engaged Investments Conference compare to other VC events in EMEA? Most EMEA-wide VC gatherings are headquartered in Western Europe and treat CEE as a peripheral geography. The Engaged Investments Conference is organised from Prague by two Czech venture firms, DEPO Ventures and J&T Ventures, and is built for the regional community rather than visiting it. The intimate scale (up to 500 participants, self-reported) also separates it from large trade shows where structured deal conversations are harder to sustain. ### Who is the Engaged Investments Conference NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. Fund managers focused exclusively on Western Europe or the UK, with no CEE mandate or curiosity, will find little relevant deal flow here. Large buyout or infrastructure investors seeking LP-GP meetings at scale will find the VC and founder-heavy format misaligned with their sourcing needs. Passive conference attendees who rely on a formal pre-scheduled meeting system should note that no such infrastructure is publicly documented. Investors whose minimum check size or fund deployment thesis is incompatible with early-stage CEE companies will encounter limited counterparties. Finally, professionals attending purely for content consumption rather than deal-making are likely to find the format over-engineered for networking relative to what they are seeking. --- ## Why Prague hosts Engaged Investments Conference The conference takes place in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most active startup and VC hubs in Central Europe. Prague hosts DEPO Ventures, one of the two co-organisers, which grounds the event institutionally in the city. The specific venue is not publicly disclosed as of verification. Prague's infrastructure for business events (including hotel capacity, air connectivity to major European capitals, and a compact city centre that facilitates side dinners and off-site meetings) supports the intimate format the organisers describe. The city's position between Western European financial centres and the broader CEE startup corridor makes it a practical meeting point for the cross-border collaboration themes the conference addresses. ## The organiser: DEPO Ventures and J&T Ventures The Engaged Investments Conference is co-organised by two Czech venture firms. DEPO Ventures is a Czech-based venture capital operator; its founding year is not publicly disclosed. J&T Ventures is the venture capital arm associated with J&T, a Central European financial group with operations across banking, private equity, and investment management. Together, the two firms constitute the organising entity for the conference. No dedicated conference production company or third-party event organiser is identified in the public record. The event is not associated with a trade association or institutional endorsement body. Portfolio size, number of funds managed, and combined AUM are not disclosed in the context of this event. --- ## Editorial take *The Engaged Investments Conference holds a structurally uncrowded position: a VC-native, founder-inclusive gathering built by Prague-based operators for a regional community that the main EMEA circuit treats as a frontier, not a destination.* --- ## How to register and what it costs The Engaged Investments Conference operates on an open access model: registration is not invitation-only. Two delegate categories are documented: an investor rate (for LPs and VC GPs) and a startup or founder rate, which is described as generally reduced. Specific pricing for either category is not publicly disclosed as of verification. Registration is managed through the ticketing platform at [ti.to/depo-ventures/engaged-investments-conference](https://ti.to/depo-ventures/engaged-investments-conference), accessible via the official website at [engaged.investments](https://engaged.investments/). Sponsor and exhibition pricing are not disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is the Engaged Investments Conference invitation-only? No. The event operates on an open access model. Both investor and startup delegate categories are available for general registration through the official ticketing platform. No pre-qualification or sponsor-mediated access requirement is documented. ### What are the delegate prices for the 2026 edition? Pricing for both the investor category and the startup or founder category is not publicly disclosed as of verification. The ticketing platform ([ti.to/depo-ventures/engaged-investments-conference](https://ti.to/depo-ventures/engaged-investments-conference)) is the reference point for current rates. It is known that a distinct, generally reduced rate applies to startup and founder delegates. ### When and where exactly does the 2026 edition take place?

The format is deliberately small-scale and access-controlled: family office attendance is complimentary but subject to qualification review, while service provider and sponsor participation is priced separately. The 2026 edition is the third instalment of the summit. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The 2026 edition will be held at Palazzo Brancaccio in Rome, Italy. Exact dates have not been published as of verification. The event is confirmed for 2026, according to the organiser's website, and represents the third annual gathering since the summit's launch. Rome provides the physical setting; Palazzo Brancaccio, a late-nineteenth-century Roman palazzo, frames the format with an intimacy consistent with the summit's access-controlled character. ## Where the Europe Family Office Investment Summit sits in the EMEA calendar The summit sits outside the standard conference-heavy clusters of Paris and Amsterdam. Rome is an uncommon host city for structured private capital events, which reinforces the summit's positioning as a selective alternative to the denser autumn circuit. No specific seasonal slot can be confirmed without published dates, but the event is designed for UHNWI-facing capital introduction rather than the broad LP-GP introductory conversations more typical of the Cannes or Amsterdam anchors of the EMEA calendar. ## Who attends the Europe Family Office Investment Summit - Family office principals and chief investment officers, primarily European, with approximately 70 family offices represented according to the organiser. - Ultra-high-net-worth individual (UHNWI) decision-makers seeking direct access to private capital opportunities. - Private equity fund managers and GPs looking to source capital from single-family and multi-family office allocators. - Placement agents and distribution professionals working the family office segment. - Service providers to the family office industry, attending under a separate access and pricing model. - Sponsors, structured into tiered participation (Turquoise and Jade sponsorship tiers). ## What the Europe Family Office Investment Summit format includes - 1:1 structured networking sessions between family office principals and GPs or service providers. - Panel discussions covering the published thematic programme. - Roundtable breakouts: 60-minute facilitated peer-learning sessions. - Fireside chats with selected speakers. - Networking lunches and breaks integrated into the day programme. - Evening networking dinner on day one. The precise number of stages, the full session schedule, and any formal exhibition or stand infrastructure are not publicly documented as of verification. The format is centred on structured bilateral meetings rather than conference-hall attendance. ## How meetings are structured at the Europe Family Office Investment Summit Advance scheduling is confirmed: LP and family office applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted. This pre-qualification step shapes the bilateral meeting pool, as participants are known and vetted before the event opens. The 1:1 meeting format is the structural core of the summit, supplemented by roundtable breakouts designed for peer exchange among principals. No dedicated networking app has been publicly disclosed. The dinner on day one extends meeting volume into an informal register, which is common practice in access-controlled summits of this type. ## What the programme covers The published thematic areas for the 2026 edition span: - Private equity: fund selection, co-investment, and direct deal access for family offices. - Financing: debt structures and private credit relevant to UHNWI allocators. - Infrastructure: real assets as a portfolio allocation strategy. - Innovation and artificial intelligence: technology's role in investment process and portfolio construction. - Family office strategy: governance, succession, and institutional-grade portfolio management for principals. ## Confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition Approximately 30 speakers are listed on the official programme as of verification. Named participants include: - Mohammad Al Duaij, Chief Executive Officer, Alea Global Group (Kuwait). - Joseph H.L. Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Hong Kong. - Sébastien Borget, Co-Founder, The Sandbox. - Manuel Fuertes, Kiatt Group Single Family Office (Spain). - Enrico Falck, Larry Family Investment Office (Italy). - Rajaa Mekouar (affiliation not published at verification date). The full speaker roster beyond these named individuals is available on the event website. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of family office is the Europe Family Office Investment Summit designed for? The summit targets European family offices at the principal and CIO level, with a specific focus on UHNWI decision-makers who allocate into private equity, infrastructure, and adjacent strategies. The organiser describes the core constituency as approximately 70 European family offices per edition. Complimentary access for qualifying family offices is validated by the Advisory Board of Alea Global Group, the organiser, which implies a minimum credibility and asset threshold that is not formally published. ### How does the event differ from a standard private equity conference? The summit is not a broadcast conference. Panel content and fireside chats exist but serve as connective tissue between the structured 1:1 meetings, which are the primary mechanism. Attendance is capped at approximately 200 participants, with roughly 70 family office seats. This is closer in format to a hosted-buyer summit than to a trade fair or a large LP-GP gathering. The access qualification process further distinguishes it from open-registration events. ### Who is the Europe Family Office Investment Summit NOT designed for? Five specific profiles are a poor fit for this event. First, fund managers without a clear family office distribution strategy: the summit's selectivity means GPs without existing traction or relevant track record in the UHNWI segment are unlikely to generate productive meetings. Second, institutional LPs from pension funds, insurance companies, or sovereign wealth funds, since the event is explicitly structured around family office principals and does not appear to target these allocator categories. Third, early-stage or sub-scale managers seeking high-volume LP contact: the capped format of approximately 200 attendees limits the meeting volume available to any one participant. Fourth, service providers without a confirmed sponsorship arrangement, given that non-FO access is priced through a separate channel that requires direct contact with the organiser. Fifth, professionals for whom Italy and a Rome-based gathering create logistical friction without a clear rationale for targeting the specific European family office segment this event assembles. ### What is the role of Alea Global Group in shaping who attends? Alea Global Group, the Kuwaiti organiser, controls access through its Advisory Board, which reviews and validates family office applications. This means the FO population at the event reflects Alea's network and judgement about principal-level credibility. For GPs and service providers seeking access, the relevant contact point is info@aleaglobalgroup.com. The organiser's Kuwait base and the geographic spread of listed speakers (Hong Kong, Spain, Italy, Kuwait) suggest the network extends beyond a purely European family office constituency. ## The venue: Palazzo Brancaccio, Rome Palazzo Brancaccio is a late-nineteenth-century aristocratic palazzo in central Rome, built in 1879. It sits in the Esquilino district, close to the Colosseum and within the historic fabric of the city. The palazzo has served as a cultural venue and private event space, and its architectural scale is suited to the combination of plenary sessions, breakout rooms, and dinner settings that the summit's format requires. For a summit of 200 participants with a UHNWI audience, the venue communicates the register the organiser intends: Rome as backdrop, a historic building as container. Practical side-event infrastructure in the surrounding neighbourhood is available, though no satellite dinners or off-site sessions are documented for this edition. ## The organiser: Alea Global Group Alea Global Group is a Kuwait-based commercial operator. Its chief executive, Mohammad Al Duaij, appears as a named speaker at the summit itself, which positions the organisation more as a principal-network convener than as a neutral conference producer. The group operates the Europe Family Office Investment Summit as a commercial publisher; the exact size of its event portfolio and its founding year are not publicly available as of verification. The organiser's website for the summit is europefosummit.com. Contact for participation and sponsorship enquiries is info@aleaglobalgroup.com. The Advisory Board function, through which family office applications are reviewed, is the operational expression of Alea's role as a network custodian rather than a generic conference organiser. --- ## Editorial take *The Europe Family Office Investment Summit is a small-format, access-controlled capital introduction event that separates itself from the EMEA conference mainstream by design: Rome instead of Paris, 200 participants instead of thousands, and an organiser that doubles as the qualifying authority for who sits in the room.* ## How to register and what it costs Family office principals may attend at no charge, subject to a qualification process managed by Alea Global Group's Advisory Board. Applications are submitted through the official website at europefosummit.com. Service providers, sponsors, and other non-FO participants are subject to a fee; exact pricing is not publicly disclosed and must be requested directly from the organiser at info@aleaglobalgroup.com. Two sponsorship tiers, Turquoise and Jade, are referenced but not described in detail on the public website as of verification. Delegate pricing for the 2026 edition and exact participation dates are not disclosed publicly. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does a family office apply to attend the summit? Applications are submitted through europefosummit.com. The organiser, Alea Global Group, reviews each family office application through its Advisory Board. Complimentary attendance is granted upon validation; the criteria applied in that review are not formally published. Family offices that are uncertain about their eligibility may contact the organiser directly before applying. ### What do service providers and sponsors pay to attend? Service provider and sponsor participation fees are not published on the event website. The organiser lists two sponsorship tiers (Turquoise and Jade) without disclosing their pricing or specific entitlements. Interested parties should contact info@aleaglobalgroup.com for a commercial proposal. ### Are the exact dates for the 2026 edition available? Exact dates for the 2026 edition have not been published as of verification (4 May 2026). The event is confirmed for 2026 and will be held at Palazzo Brancaccio in Rome. Prospective attendees should monitor europefosummit.com or contact the organiser directly for scheduling information. ### Is a networking app available for pre-scheduling meetings? No dedicated networking or meeting-scheduling application has been disclosed for the summit. The organiser reviews LP and family office applications in advance, which provides a degree of pre-qualification before the event, but the mechanism for scheduling specific 1:1 meetings on-site is not documented publicly. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://europefosummit.com/ | | Register | https://europefosummit.com/ | | Sponsorship and enquiries | info@aleaglobalgroup.com | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source is the official event website (europefosummit.com) and organiser-provided narrative data.

Approximately 400 attendees from direct lending funds, institutional investors, investment banks, and advisors gather in London to examine the credit market conditions, origination dynamics, and regulatory environment shaping European direct lending. Direct lending to European middle market companies has emerged as one of the most significant growth areas in institutional private credit, displacing significant volumes of bank lending over the past decade. The conference addresses the practical and strategic dimensions of this transition: deal flow origination, credit selection and monitoring, documentation standards, co-lending structures, and the competitive dynamics between direct lenders and leveraged loan markets. London anchors the conference as the primary hub for European credit fund management and institutional credit allocation. The event's specialist focus distinguishes it from generalist private credit gatherings, attracting professionals whose primary activity is direct lending origination, underwriting, and portfolio management rather than the broader private debt universe. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/family-offices-asset-management-summit-luxembourg.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Family Offices & Asset Management Summit Luxembourg > *The Family Offices & Asset Management Summit Luxembourg is an annual gathering at the European Convention Center Luxembourg, drawing approximately 300 attendees from the family office, wealth management, and asset management communities.

Luxembourg's position as the leading European domicile for investment funds gives the event a specific angle: the intersection of international family wealth management and the fund structuring, regulation, and distribution infrastructure of the European fund industry. The Luxembourg context shapes the agenda: topics include UCITS and AIFMD regulatory developments, fund domiciliation decisions, succession and governance for family-owned businesses, and the selection and monitoring of external managers. For family offices and private wealth managers active in European cross-border structures, the event provides both content and relationships within the jurisdiction that houses a significant share of their fund investments. With approximately 300 attendees, the Summit maintains a scale at which relationship development remains tractable. The European Convention Center venue supports the professional character of the gathering, which sits at the more institutional end of the family office event spectrum. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/fdday-france-digitale-day.md # Last verified: 2026-05-08 # FDDay – France Digitale Day > *Annual gathering organised by France Digitale, the principal French digital industry association, bringing together startups, investors, and policy decision-makers in Paris for a day structured around startup-corporate matchmaking, investor track meetings, and C-level un-conferences.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **16 September 2026** | **Paris** | **France Digitale** | **4,500** | | 14th edition | Specific venue not disclosed | France | delegates (self-reported) | --- ## Definition FDDay, the annual flagship day of France Digitale, is the principal convening moment for the French digital and tech investment community. It brings together startups, venture and growth investors, corporate partners, and public-sector decision-makers for a single-day programme structured around structured matchmaking and high-level debate. The event has reached its 14th edition in 2026, positioning it as one of the more established fixtures on the French innovation calendar. ## What the FDDay programme covers The programme is organised around four thematic pillars: financing, innovation, startups, and artificial intelligence. Beyond the content agenda, the format is built for interaction rather than passive attendance. Startup-corporate matchmaking sessions pair founders with potential corporate partners, investor track meetings channel conversations between startups and fund managers, and C-level un-conferences create peer-level dialogue among senior decision-makers. Networking tools are available to participants throughout the day to facilitate introductions outside the structured session slots. The 2026 speaker list and detailed programme had not been published as of the verification date. France Digitale typically releases speaker confirmations in the months preceding the event. ## Where FDDay sits in the autumn Paris calendar FDDay takes place on 16 September 2026, opening the autumn cluster of Paris-based private capital and tech events. September is the hinge month of the EMEA circuit, when the summer pause ends and deal conversations resume at pace. For France-focused investors and founders, FDDay functions as a season opener: it concentrates a relevant cross-section of the domestic innovation and investment community before the denser October and November conference weeks. ## Who attends FDDay - **Startups:** early-stage to growth-stage technology companies, primarily France-based, seeking investor introductions and corporate partnerships. - **Venture capital and growth equity fund managers:** French and European GPs active in digital, deep tech, and AI strategies. - **Corporate innovation and M&A teams:** large companies seeking proprietary deal flow, partnership opportunities, or acquisition targets. - **Policy and public-sector representatives:** government officials and public agency executives involved in digital and innovation policy. - **Service providers:** legal, accounting, and advisory firms serving the startup and venture community. ## What the FDDay format includes - Startup-corporate matchmaking sessions - Investor track meetings - C-level un-conferences - General networking supported by dedicated networking tools The number of stages, the specific session names, and the full conference agenda for the 2026 edition are not yet documented. No exhibitor floor or stand-based exhibition component is confirmed in the available data. ## How meetings are structured at FDDay The structured meeting layer at FDDay rests on three distinct formats. Startup-corporate matchmaking sessions are pre-arranged pairings between founding teams and corporate counterparts, operating on a timed rotation model typical of B2B matchmaking events. The investor track provides a parallel stream where fund managers engage with selected startups in a more private setting. C-level un-conferences remove the panel dynamic entirely, placing senior participants in facilitated peer conversation with no predetermined speaker hierarchy. Whether advance scheduling is handled through a dedicated app or a platform-based tool is not publicly confirmed for the 2026 edition. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of investor attends FDDay, and what is the typical LP and GP mix? FDDay draws primarily GPs, venture fund managers, and corporate venture arms active in the French and broader European digital market. The event is not structured around an LP-GP relationship model in the institutional private capital sense. Sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and insurance company allocators are not the primary audience. The financing conversations at FDDay are oriented toward startup fundraising rounds and corporate partnership sourcing, not fund-level capital commitments. ### Is FDDay designed for international participants or for the French market? The event is anchored in the French digital industry community. France Digitale is the principal trade association for the French startup sector, and FDDay reflects that domestic positioning. International investors with active French or European venture portfolios attend, but the event is not structured as a pan-European or global gathering. The working language listed is English, which accommodates international participants, but the deal flow, policy context, and corporate relationships on the floor are predominantly French in origin. ### Who is FDDay NOT designed for? Five profiles where FDDay is a poor fit: first, institutional LPs (pension funds, endowments, sovereign wealth funds) seeking fund manager due diligence meetings, as the event does not operate a dedicated LP-GP matchmaking track of that type; second, private equity buyout professionals focused on mid-market or large-cap deal origination, as the startup and digital focus makes the deal flow irrelevant to their mandate; third, infrastructure, real assets, or private debt managers, whose strategies sit outside the financing and innovation themes that structure the programme; fourth, international operators with no existing French market presence who are looking to build continental relationships from scratch, as the event's value concentrates on deepening rather than initiating engagement with the French ecosystem; fifth, participants seeking a multi-day immersive conference format, as FDDay is a single day and the access model is invite-only, which limits the ability to register opportunistically. ### How does FDDay differ from a conventional private capital conference? The structural difference is the primacy of startup-corporate matching over fund manager and allocator dialogue. At most private capital circuit events, the meeting system connects GPs with LPs or GPs with co-investors. At FDDay, the meeting system connects startups with corporates and investors, and corporates with each other. The policy dimension, which brings government decision-makers into the room, is also unusual for a private capital format. FDDay is closer to a national innovation summit with a strong financing component than to a fundraising-oriented LP and GP conference. ## Why Paris hosts FDDay The event takes place in Paris; the specific venue has not been disclosed for the 2026 edition. Paris functions as the natural home for France Digitale, whose membership and institutional relationships are concentrated in the capital. The city's density of corporate headquarters, venture fund offices, and public agency representation makes it the operationally coherent location for an event that combines startup deal flow, corporate partnership sourcing, and policy engagement. Venue details will likely be confirmed closer to the September date. ## The organiser: France Digitale France Digitale is the leading trade association for the French digital and startup sector, representing founders and investors across the national technology ecosystem. It organises FDDay as its annual flagship convening event and, as indicated in the source data, has been developing thematic events alongside it, including an AI Day held at Station F in early 2026. France Digitale operates from France; its founding year is not confirmed in the available documentation. Its portfolio beyond FDDay is not fully documented here. The association functions as an industry body rather than a commercial conference publisher, which shapes the event's orientation toward policy, community building, and sectoral representation rather than pure revenue-driven delegate acquisition. A note on event status: the source data flags a potential duplication with another event record and notes that France Digitale migrated toward thematic events in 2026, with no classic FDDay format formally announced for autumn 2026 as of the verification date. The official France Digitale website confirms 16 September 2026 as the FDDay date. This fiche documents the information as confirmed by that source; readers should verify current status directly with France Digitale before planning attendance. --- ## Editorial take *FDDay occupies a distinct position at the intersection of startup financing, corporate innovation, and French tech policy, but the invite-only access model and single-day format mean its value accrues primarily to participants already embedded in the France Digitale network rather than to those seeking to enter it.* ## How to register and what it costs FDDay operates on an invite-only access model. Delegate pricing and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. The France Digitale website at francedigitale.org is the official registration and information channel. Prospective attendees without an existing France Digitale relationship should contact the association directly to establish eligibility, as public registration is not confirmed as an available pathway. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is FDDay open to anyone who wants to attend? No. The event operates on an invite-only basis. Access is not available through a public ticketing process. Attendance is mediated through France Digitale's membership and partner relationships. The specific criteria for receiving an invitation are not publicly documented. ### What is the programme publication timeline for the 2026 edition? As of 8 May 2026, the detailed programme and confirmed speaker list for the 16 September 2026 edition had not been published. France Digitale's practice in prior years has been to release speaker confirmations in the months preceding the event. The agenda structure (matchmaking sessions, investor track, un-conferences) is known from event format documentation, but session-level detail is not yet available. ### Where can I find official information about FDDay 2026? The official source is the France Digitale website and its event agenda page. No separate programme platform (Sessionize, Bizzabo, Sched, or Cvent) had published verified FDDay 2026 content as of the verification date. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://francedigitale.org/ | | Register / contact | https://francedigitale.org/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-08 **Next review:** 2026-06-07 **Notes:** Source is the official France Digitale website (francedigitale.org/agenda/fdday-2026); the source data flags a probable duplicate record and notes that France Digitale shifted toward thematic events in 2026, with the classic FDDay format not formally reconfirmed for autumn 2026 as of verification; the fiche documents the September 2026 date as published on the official site and signals this uncertainty inline; speaker and programme data are absent because publication had not occurred at verification date; Key Stats block omitted (no multi-year or segmented attendance figures available); attendance figure of 4,500 delegates is self-reported but the source attribution record is incomplete. **Variables:** 32/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/forum-des-investisseurs-france-invest.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Forum des Investisseurs France Invest > *Half-day evening forum held annually in Paris, convening French private equity fund managers, institutional investors, family offices, and entrepreneurs for moderated panels and a seated networking dinner, under the auspices of France Invest, the French private capital association.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026 edition** | **Elysées Biarritz** | **France Invest** | **~500** | | 13th edition · dates not disclosed | 22–24 rue Quentin Bauchart, Paris 75008, France | France | delegates (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The Forum des Investisseurs France Invest is the annual gathering of the French private capital industry, organised by France Invest, the professional association of capital investment in France. It brings together fund managers, institutional investors, family offices, entrepreneurs, and public decision-makers for a half-day programme running from late afternoon through the evening. The forum is a member-and-invitation restricted event, not an open-registration conference, and is now in its 13th edition. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The 2026 edition is the 13th in the forum's history. It takes place at the Elysées Biarritz, located at 22–24 rue Quentin Bauchart in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Specific dates have not been publicly disclosed as of verification. The format runs from 16h30 to 22h00, combining a moderated programme with a seated networking dinner. ## Where the Forum des Investisseurs sits in the Paris private capital calendar Paris anchors the densest stretch of the EMEA private capital circuit, with the autumn concentration from September to November drawing the highest volume of institutional LP and GP gatherings. The Forum des Investisseurs occupies a distinct position within that calendar: it is not a large-format trade event open to accredited delegates, but a controlled-access evening convened by a national industry association for its own membership and their institutional counterparties. That structural difference, a professional association convening its community rather than a commercial publisher selling delegate passes, gives it a different character from the larger Parisian summits on the autumn circuit. ## What separates the Forum des Investisseurs from open-format private capital events Access is restricted to France Invest member firms and their invited guests. Institutional LPs attend at no cost, which is a deliberate design choice: the forum is oriented toward deepening relationships between French GPs and the institutional investor base, rather than generating delegate revenue. This is reinforced by the half-day format, which concentrates contact time rather than spreading it across a multi-day conference programme. The result is a gathering where all participants have a defined relationship to the French private equity industry, either as practitioners, allocators, or invited public figures. ## Who attends the Forum des Investisseurs France Invest - **General Partners and fund managers:** Member firms of France Invest, including private equity, venture capital, and growth capital managers active in France. - **Institutional LPs:** Pension funds, insurance companies, and other institutional allocators engaging with the French private capital market. - **Family offices:** French and European family offices with allocations to or interest in private equity. - **Entrepreneurs:** Founders and business leaders, particularly those relevant to the forum's thematic focus on AI, competitiveness, and growth financing. - **Public decision-makers and economists:** Senior figures from regulatory, monetary, and policy spheres; the 2026 confirmed speakers include Christian Noyer, former Governor of the Banque de France. - **Placement agents and service providers:** Present in a capacity consistent with France Invest membership and invitation protocols. ## What the Forum des Investisseurs format includes - **Moderated panels:** Structured thematic discussions led by a professional moderator, covering the French PE ecosystem relative to Europe, GP consolidation dynamics, and secondaries and liquidity. - **Keynote testimonials:** Invited speakers from outside the fund management community, including entrepreneurs and public figures, providing perspectives on AI, innovation financing, and macroeconomic conditions. - **Seated networking dinner:** A structured dining format that extends the contact time between participants beyond the panel programme, running through the evening from 16h30 to 22h00. - **Restricted-access format:** Entry is governed by France Invest membership status or direct invitation, limiting the room to participants with an established connection to the French private capital industry. Programme details beyond the confirmed speakers and panel titles are not publicly documented as of verification. The number of stages, session count, and full speaker list are not disclosed. ## How meetings are structured at the Forum des Investisseurs The forum does not operate a dedicated B2B matchmaking platform or scheduling application, at least none has been publicly disclosed. The meeting dynamic is structured around the evening format itself: the transition from the panel programme to the networking dinner creates a natural progression from public discussion to private conversation. LP participation is subject to an application reviewed by the organiser, which provides a degree of pre-qualification. The absence of a multi-day schedule means all networking is concentrated into the single evening, with the dinner serving as the primary contact surface. ## What the Forum des Investisseurs programme covers The 2026 programme is built around four thematic clusters: - **French PE ecosystem vs. Europe:** Positioning of the French private capital market relative to its European peers, with attention to competitiveness and deal flow. - **Scale and consolidation:** Dynamics governing GP growth, consolidation among fund managers, and the strategic choices facing mid-sized firms. - **Secondaries and liquidity:** The secondary market as a liquidity tool in a constrained exit environment, a theme running across the EMEA circuit in 2025 and 2026. - **AI and entrepreneurial competitiveness:** The intersection of artificial intelligence and growth financing, framed through the perspective of Gilles Babinet, a confirmed speaker for 2026. - **European innovation financing:** The policy and institutional dimensions of funding innovation, addressed by Christian Noyer, former Governor of the Banque de France. Moderation of the panel programme is confirmed for Emmanuelle Duten-Diehl. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Forum des Investisseurs France Invest and who is it for? The Forum des Investisseurs is the annual flagship gathering of France Invest, the French private capital association. Its primary audience is French-market fund managers who are members of France Invest, institutional LPs allocating to or considering the French private equity market, and invited guests including entrepreneurs and public sector figures. It is a closed professional event, not an open trade conference. ### Who is the Forum des Investisseurs NOT designed for? Five profiles are a poor fit for this event. First, international GPs with no active presence or fundraising interest in France: the programme and LP composition are oriented toward the French private capital market specifically. Second, fund managers who are not France Invest members and have no route to an invitation through an existing institutional relationship. Third, allocators primarily focused on strategies outside private equity and private capital (listed equities, fixed income, macro hedge funds) who would find limited thematic overlap. Fourth, delegates seeking intensive pre-scheduled one-on-one meeting programmes of the kind offered by multi-day matchmaking conferences: the half-day format does not support that volume of structured meetings. Fifth, service providers and placement agents expecting an exhibition or stand-based format: no exhibition component has been documented, and access is governed by membership or invitation, not commercial participation. ### How does the forum's association format differ from a commercial private capital conference? Commercial conferences generate revenue primarily through delegate passes and sponsor packages, and typically operate open or tiered-access registration. The Forum des Investisseurs is organised by France Invest as a professional association event. Access is member-governed, LP attendance is complimentary, and the pricing structure reflects an objective of convening the community rather than monetising attendance. This shapes the room composition: participants are not self-selected by willingness to pay, but by membership of or invitation into the French private capital industry. ### Is the forum relevant to LPs with no existing exposure to French private equity? The forum is structured to include LPs who are being introduced to French private capital, not only those with existing allocations. The complimentary access model for institutional investors is designed to lower the barrier to attendance for allocators still forming a view on the French market. The panel on the French PE ecosystem relative to Europe is directly aimed at framing this question. That said, the event's single-evening format limits the depth of introductory engagement compared to a multi-day summit with pre-scheduled meeting programmes. --- ## The venue: Elysées Biarritz The Elysées Biarritz is a private event venue located at 22–24 rue Quentin Bauchart in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, a few steps from the Champs-Élysées and close to the Arc de Triomphe. The 8th arrondissement is historically associated with French financial and institutional life, housing numerous asset management firms, law firms, and the offices of major institutional investors. The venue is suited to evening formats combining a panel stage with a seated dinner, which matches the forum's 16h30-to-22h00 programme structure. Its capacity relative to the forum's approximately 500-delegate attendance positions it as an intimate rather than a large-hall setting by Paris event standards. ## The organiser: France Invest France Invest is the professional association of the French private capital industry, representing private equity, venture capital, infrastructure, and private debt managers active in France. The association's membership comprises management companies, institutional investors, and associated professionals. It carries out lobbying, research, statistical reporting on the French private capital market, and community-building functions for its membership. The Forum des Investisseurs is its principal annual convening event, complementing France Invest's year-round activity in market data, regulatory engagement, and professional training. The association's founding year, portfolio size in terms of other events, and city of operations are not disclosed in available documentation. Its website serves as both the informational and registration portal for the forum. --- ## Editorial take *The Forum des Investisseurs France Invest is the most direct expression of how a national private capital association uses a single annual evening to consolidate its community: the restricted-access format, the complimentary LP model, and the condensed programme make it less a conference than a structured gathering of record for the French GP and LP universe.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Access to the Forum des Investisseurs is subject to an application reviewed by the organiser. The pricing structure is tiered by participant profile. Institutional investors and LPs attend free of charge. Active member firms of France Invest pay 195 EUR per delegate. Collaborators under the age of 35 from member firms benefit from a 50% reduction, bringing their rate to 97 EUR. Registration is processed through the France Invest website at franceinvest.eu. No separate registration platform has been documented. Sponsor packages and stand pricing are not part of the publicly documented access model, consistent with the absence of an exhibition component. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the LP application process work at the Forum des Investisseurs? LP applications are reviewed by the France Invest organising team before access is confirmed. The review process is not described in detail in publicly available documentation, but the advance-scheduling mechanism indicates that LP participants are pre-qualified rather than accepted on a first-come basis. Institutional investors and family offices interested in attending should apply through the France Invest website and expect a confirmation process rather than immediate registration. ### What does the 195 EUR registration fee cover for GP member firms? The fee covers attendance at the full half-day programme, including the moderated panels, keynote testimonials, and the networking dinner. It applies to active member firms of France Invest. The under-35 rate of 97 EUR applies to individual collaborators at those member firms. Non-member firms and non-invited service providers do not have a published registration pathway; access is not available through standard open registration. ### Are the dates for the 2026 edition confirmed? Specific dates for the 2026 edition have not been publicly disclosed as of the verification date for this fiche. The edition is confirmed as the 13th in the series, and the venue, Elysées Biarritz in Paris, is confirmed. Programme details including confirmed speakers and panel themes are available through France Invest communications. The France Invest website at franceinvest.eu is the primary source for updated scheduling information. ### Is there a networking app or pre-event meeting scheduler? No official networking application or dedicated pre-event meeting scheduling tool has been documented for the Forum des Investisseurs. The format relies on the structured dinner and evening programme to create contact between participants. LP applications are reviewed in advance, which implies a degree of organiser-facilitated matching, but no technology platform for bilateral scheduling has been publicly disclosed. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.franceinvest.eu/ | | Register | https://www.franceinvest.eu/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from France Invest public communications and event documentation; organiser name is inferred as France Invest from the association's own event branding and the raw description, though the organiser_name field is null in the source data; specific edition dates are not publicly disclosed; attendance figure of approximately 500 is self-reported by the organiser; creation year, organiser city, and LP/GP breakdown figures are not available; organiser_type listed as "commercial publisher" in source data appears inconsistent with the association model described across the narrative fields and has been contextualised accordingly. **Variables:** 33/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/german-fall-conference-equity-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # German Fall Conference – Equity Forum > *A two-day annual conference held in Frankfurt bringing together CEOs and CFOs of listed German and European companies with institutional investors, equity analysts, and private capital professionals for structured one-on-one meetings and presentations, in full MiFID II compliance.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Frankfurt** | **Not disclosed** | **800** | | 2026 dates not published | Frankfurt, Germany | Organiser name not publicly disclosed | delegates (breakdown not disclosed) | --- ## Definition The German Fall Conference – Equity Forum is an annual two-day event held in Frankfurt that brings together listed companies and institutional capital. The format centres on CEO and CFO presentations to audiences of institutional investors, equity analysts, and private capital professionals including venture and private equity investors. The conference sits within the Equity Forum series, which the organiser runs across two annual editions: a spring gathering and this autumn edition. ## When the German Fall Conference takes place in the Frankfurt calendar The conference is the autumn edition of the Equity Forum series. It occupies the EMEA circuit's dense autumn cluster, which concentrates institutional events in continental European financial centres between September and November. Frankfurt has historically hosted the autumn edition, drawing from the city's position as Germany's primary financial market hub and the seat of the Deutsche Börse group. Exact dates for the 2026 edition are not published as of verification. ## What separates the German Fall Conference from a conventional investor conference The event operates explicitly within the MiFID II regulatory perimeter, which defines its audience and access model in structural terms. Attendance is complimentary for institutional investors, equity analysts, and venture and private equity investors precisely because the MiFID II unbundling framework prohibits certain forms of bundled payment for investment research and corporate access. This access model also explains why the event functions as a curated, application-reviewed gathering rather than an open registration conference. Listed company CEOs and CFOs present to pre-qualified audiences, and the logistics of the two-day one-on-one meeting programme are arranged accordingly. ## Who attends the German Fall Conference – Equity Forum - **Institutional investors:** pension funds, insurance companies, and asset managers accessing listed equity corporate presentations as part of their equity research workflow. - **Equity analysts:** sell-side and buy-side analysts attending CEO and CFO sessions under MiFID II-compliant corporate access terms. - **Venture capital and private equity investors:** VC and PE professionals attending as approved participants under the complimentary investor access category. - **CEOs and CFOs of listed companies:** German and European public company executives presenting to the investor audience across the two-day programme. - **Financial journalists:** accredited press attending company presentations, noted as a distinct admitted category. - **Placement agents and service providers:** included within the broader B2B private capital audience, subject to the application-reviewed access model. ## What the German Fall Conference format includes - Two-day conference with CEO and CFO presentations by listed German and European companies. - One-on-one meeting programme running across both days, pre-scheduled through an advance application process reviewed by the organiser. - MiFID II-compliant corporate access structure, with complimentary entry for institutional investors and analysts. The conference format is documented at the level above. Specific session names, stage count, confirmed speaker names for the 2026 edition, and any special evening or side-event programming are not publicly available as of verification. ## How meetings are scheduled at the German Fall Conference The meeting infrastructure at this event is built around advance scheduling. Investor applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, meaning the one-on-one meeting programme is not self-service. Once an investor profile is approved, meetings with presenting companies can be pre-arranged ahead of the conference. The system runs across both days, making the structured bilateral meeting programme a central component of the format rather than an adjunct to the main stage. No dedicated networking application is disclosed as part of the meeting infrastructure. ## What the German Fall Conference programme covers - Corporate access to listed German and European equity issuers. - Financing strategies and capital markets positioning. - Venture capital and growth equity investment themes. - Investor relations and market communications for listed companies. - Networking between public company management and institutional capital allocators. The programme themes above reflect the stated subject scope of the event. Confirmed session titles, keynote speakers, and the 2026 edition agenda are not published as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the German Fall Conference – Equity Forum and who is it primarily for? The German Fall Conference is the autumn edition of the biannual Equity Forum series, held in Frankfurt. Its primary audience is institutional investors and equity analysts seeking direct access to the management of listed German and European companies. CEOs and CFOs of public companies use the format to present to pre-qualified capital allocators in a MiFID II-compliant environment. ### Is this a private equity conference or a public equity event? The event sits predominantly in the public equity space. Its format, audience composition, and MiFID II compliance structure are characteristic of a listed-company corporate access conference. Venture capital and private equity investors are admitted as a secondary category, which makes it relevant to VC and PE professionals tracking publicly listed peers or considering pre-IPO companies, but it is not a fund-raising or LP-GP matchmaking conference of the type that defines the private capital circuit proper. ### What makes the 800-delegate figure significant at this type of event? At a MiFID II-compliant corporate access conference where attendance requires an approved application, 800 delegates implies a curated and qualified audience rather than a broad trade show crowd. Each participant, at least on the investor side, has passed an organiser review. That scale also indicates a reasonably large presenting company roster, since the two-day one-on-one meeting schedule needs sufficient meeting slots to be viable for both issuers and investors. ### Who is the German Fall Conference NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit. First, alternative fund managers raising closed-end vehicles: this is a public equity access event, not a fundraising conference, and LP-GP capital formation is not its purpose. Second, early-stage private companies seeking institutional investor introductions: the presenting population consists of listed companies, not private issuers. Third, retail investors and independent advisers: the access model is institutional, application-reviewed, and oriented toward qualified professional investors as defined under MiFID II. Fourth, conference attendees who prefer passive participation without meeting commitments: the structural value of the event is the one-on-one programme, and attendees who do not engage with bilateral meetings gain significantly less than those who do. Fifth, investors with no mandate in German or European listed equities: the presenting company universe is German and European public equity, so the event has limited relevance for allocators focused exclusively on private markets or non-European geographies. --- ## Why Frankfurt hosts the German Fall Conference The event takes place in Frankfurt, Germany's primary financial centre and the headquarters city of Deutsche Börse Group. Frankfurt's infrastructure for institutional finance, including its concentration of asset managers, pension funds, insurance groups, and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, makes it a natural anchor for a listed-equity corporate access conference. The specific venue within the city is not disclosed as of verification. ## The organiser: Equity Forum The organiser operates under the Equity Forum brand and is associated with the Deutsche Börse Group, though the organiser entity name is not separately disclosed as of verification. The platform is classified as a commercial publisher. It runs two editions of the conference annually: the spring conference and this autumn edition. The organiser website is equityforum.de. Founding year and full portfolio size are not publicly documented as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *The German Fall Conference occupies a specific and bounded niche: a MiFID II-compliant corporate access conference where public company management meets pre-qualified institutional capital in Frankfurt, making it more relevant to equity analysts and long-only allocators than to the closed-end fund managers who dominate the private capital circuit.* ## How to register and what it costs Institutional investors, equity analysts, and VC and PE investors attend at no charge. This complimentary access model is explicitly MiFID II-compliant. Attendance is not open registration: applicants must submit a request through the organiser, which reviews each application before granting access. Registration is handled via the official website at equityforum.de. Delegate pricing for other participant categories and sponsor or exhibitor rates are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does an institutional investor apply to attend? Applications are submitted through the Equity Forum website at equityforum.de. The organiser reviews each investor application before confirming access. The review process is designed to maintain a qualified audience under MiFID II corporate access rules. Timeline and specific documentation requirements for the application are not detailed in publicly available materials as of verification. ### Is attendance really free for investors? For institutional investors, equity analysts, and VC and PE investors, attendance is listed as complimentary and free of charge. This is a structural feature of the MiFID II-compliant corporate access model, not a promotional offer. The absence of a delegate fee does not mean uncurated access: the application review requirement applies regardless of the fee structure. ### Are exact dates and venue available for the 2026 edition? As of the verification date, the 2026 edition dates and specific venue within Frankfurt have not been published. The event is annual and has historically taken place in September in Frankfurt. Checking equityforum.de directly will yield the most current scheduling information. ### Can a private company or unlisted issuer present at the conference? The presenting population documented for this event consists of CEOs and CFOs of listed German and European companies. No information is available as of verification to indicate that unlisted or private companies are included in the presenting programme. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://equityforum.de/ | | Register | https://equityforum.de/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from organiser website and structured event record; organiser entity name not separately disclosed; 2026 edition dates and specific venue not published as of verification; raw description references a biannual format (spring and autumn editions), reflected in the body accordingly; duration in days not confirmed in source data despite the "2 days" reference in format description, which appears in the special_formats field and is treated as reliable. **Variables:** 32/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/german-spring-conference-equity-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # German Spring Conference – Equity Forum > *A two-day public equity conference held annually in Frankfurt, where CEOs and CFOs of listed German and European companies present business figures and outlooks directly to institutional investors, financial analysts, and venture and private equity professionals in a MiFID II-compliant format.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Flemings Selection Hotel** | **Not disclosed** | **800** | | 2026 edition; specific dates not publicly available | Frankfurt, Germany | Germany-based commercial publisher; organiser name not disclosed | delegates (breakdown by type not disclosed) | --- ## Definition The German Spring Conference – Equity Forum is the spring edition of the biannual Equity Forum conference series, held in Frankfurt. The event brings together listed companies, institutional investors, financial analysts, and venture and private equity professionals for two days of public CEO and CFO presentations and structured one-on-one meetings. It operates within a MiFID II-compliant format, meaning corporate presentations constitute regulated investor communications. The conference is understood to be connected to a broader series associated with Deutsche Börse Gruppe, though the organiser name is not formally disclosed in publicly available documentation. ## Where the German Spring Conference sits in the Frankfurt spring calendar Frankfurt's position as Germany's primary financial centre makes it the natural anchor for equity investor relations events in the spring season. The German Spring Conference is one of two annual Equity Forum editions, the other occurring in autumn, giving listed companies two structured windows each year to access the institutional investor community in a single venue. Within the broader EMEA private capital circuit, the event occupies a distinct niche: it is not a fundraising conference for unlisted funds but a regulated presentation forum where public company management meets the buy side directly. ## Who attends the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum - CEOs and CFOs of listed German and European companies, present to deliver business updates, financial figures, and forward outlooks. - Institutional investors, attending on a complimentary basis under the MiFID II-compliant access model. - Financial analysts covering listed equities in the German and broader European market. - Financial journalists covering capital markets and public company reporting. - Venture capital and private equity investors, present in the audience for cross-market intelligence and co-investment context. ## What the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum format includes - Two-day conference of public CEO and CFO presentations by listed companies. - One-on-one meetings between company management and institutional investors, pre-scheduled and reviewed by the organiser. - MiFID II-compliant presentation format, applicable to all corporate communications made at the event. The number of stages, specific session titles, and any special formats beyond those listed above are not publicly documented as of the date of verification. No exhibition or standalone networking app has been confirmed for this edition. ## How meetings are scheduled at the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum The event operates an advance scheduling system for one-on-one meetings between listed company management teams and investors. Applications from institutional investors and analysts are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted. This selection step is consistent with the MiFID II-compliant structure of the event, which requires that corporate communications reach qualified, identifiable recipients rather than open public audiences. No dedicated networking application has been confirmed for the 2026 edition. ## What the German Spring Conference programme covers - Financing strategies and capital market access for listed companies. - Venture capital and growth equity as crossover themes between public and private markets. - Artificial intelligence as a sector and as a strategic driver across listed company presentations. - Entrepreneurship and company-building among presenting management teams. - Investor perspectives on European listed equities and sector allocation. - Networking between corporate management and the institutional buy side. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum? The German Spring Conference is a regulated investor relations conference, not a fundraising event for private funds. Listed companies send their senior management to present directly to institutional investors and analysts. The one-on-one meeting programme is the operational core, structured around the public presentations and compliant with MiFID II requirements on corporate access. ### Who is the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum NOT designed for? Five profiles are a poor fit. First, managers of unlisted private equity or venture funds looking to raise capital from LPs: the event is oriented toward public equity investor relations, not private fund fundraising. Second, early-stage startups without a listing or a credible near-term path to one: the presenting companies are listed entities with reportable financials, and private company management teams are not the target. Third, retail investors or individual shareholders: access requires an institutional or analyst credential and an organiser-reviewed application. Fourth, generalist conference attendees seeking passive content consumption: the format is meeting-intensive and structured, and attendance without engaging the one-on-one system extracts limited value. Fifth, non-European investors with no existing or prospective allocation to German or European listed equities: the presenting company universe is dominated by German and European names, and the cross-border relevance diminishes sharply outside that geographic scope. ### Does the MiFID II-compliant format change how the event works in practice? Yes, in several ways. Corporate presentations at the event are treated as regulated communications, meaning the organiser controls who receives them and investor identities are verified. This is why the access model requires an application rather than open registration. Institutional investors and financial analysts attend free of charge, while the cost structure for presenting companies is not publicly disclosed. The MiFID II structure also shapes what management teams can say during one-on-one sessions, as those conversations carry the same regulatory weight as the public presentations. ### Is the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum a private capital event? Primarily, it is a public equity event. The presenting companies are listed, and the core audience is the institutional equity buy side. Venture capital and private equity investors are present in the audience, and themes such as financing, AI, and entrepreneurship create overlap with the private capital agenda, but the dominant format is public company investor relations. Private capital professionals attend for market intelligence and for contact with listed company management rather than for LP-GP matchmaking. --- ## The venue: Flemings Selection Hotel, Frankfurt The Flemings Selection Hotel in Frankfurt serves as the confirmed venue for the 2026 edition. Frankfurt's Flemings properties are mid-sized full-service hotels positioned within close reach of the financial district, suited to conference formats that require a combination of plenary presentation space and breakout rooms for one-on-one meetings. The specific room layout, capacity, and meeting infrastructure for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented. Frankfurt's financial ecosystem, including proximity to Deutsche Börse, the European Central Bank, and the major German banking groups, reinforces the city's suitability for a conference centred on listed company investor relations. ## The organiser: not disclosed The organiser of the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum is a Germany-based commercial publisher, though no organiser name is publicly disclosed in available documentation. The event's website is hosted at equityforum.de, and the broader Equity Forum series is referenced in connection with Deutsche Börse Gruppe. The organiser runs at least two annual editions of the Equity Forum conference, with the spring Frankfurt edition supplemented by an autumn counterpart. The organiser's full portfolio, founding year, and city of incorporation are not available as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *The German Spring Conference – Equity Forum occupies a precise and underserved position in the Frankfurt calendar: a MiFID II-compliant, meeting-intensive forum where listed company management and institutional investors conduct structured access under regulatory conditions that most generalist conferences cannot replicate.* ## How to register and what it costs Institutional investors, financial analysts, and venture and private equity investors attend the German Spring Conference free of charge, in accordance with the MiFID II-compliant access model. Registration requires an application submitted through the official website at equityforum.de, which the organiser reviews before confirming access. Pricing for presenting companies is not publicly disclosed. Specific delegate and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition are not available as of the date of verification. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does an institutional investor apply to attend the German Spring Conference? Applications are submitted through equityforum.de. The organiser reviews each application before confirming access, consistent with the MiFID II requirement that corporate presentations reach identified and qualified recipients. Attendance for institutional investors and financial analysts is complimentary once the application is approved. ### When and where does the 2026 German Spring Conference take place? The 2026 edition is confirmed at the Flemings Selection Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany. Specific dates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of the date of verification. The event's website at equityforum.de is the authoritative source for date announcements. ### Is there a networking app or digital platform for the meeting programme? No dedicated networking application has been confirmed for the German Spring Conference – Equity Forum. The one-on-one meeting system operates through advance scheduling reviewed by the organiser, but no third-party app or digital matchmaking platform is publicly documented for the 2026 edition. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://equityforum.de/ | | Register / Apply | https://equityforum.de/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data completeness is 52% (32 of 58 variables filled); organiser name, exact 2026 dates, edition number, and most scale breakdowns are absent from available documentation; the raw description notes a partial duplicate with a separate event record (id=58), which may indicate overlapping coverage with the autumn Equity Forum edition; all self-reported figures have been labelled accordingly. **Variables:** 32/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/ilpa-forum-emea.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # ILPA Forum EMEA > *The LP-led EMEA flagship of ILPA, London: where the buy-side sets the agenda and caps GP admission at 30 firms.* --- ## Quick Facts | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---| | **London** | **~** | **300** | | United Kingdom | https://ilpa.org/conference/ilpa-summit-europe/ | delegates | --- The LP-led EMEA flagship of ILPA, London: where the buy-side sets the agenda and caps GP admission at 30 firms. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/ilpa-summit-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # ILPA Summit Europe > *A three-day invitation-only gathering in London, organised by the Institutional Limited Partners Association, bringing together approximately 600 LP-side institutional investors for structured 1:1 meetings, on-demand meeting access, and peer-to-peer networking across the private capital community.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **27–29 April 2026** | **Waldorf Hilton** | **ILPA** | **~600** | | 3 days, Monday to Wednesday | London, United Kingdom | United Kingdom | delegates (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The ILPA Summit Europe is the European flagship event of the Institutional Limited Partners Association, structured around a dense programme of pre-scheduled and on-demand 1:1 meetings between limited partners and general partners active in private capital. The 2026 edition is the seventh, taking place in London over three days in late April. Access is by invitation; senior LP-side participants at C-suite, board, and portfolio management level attend on a complimentary basis. ## The 2026 edition: 27–29 April in London The seventh edition of ILPA Summit Europe runs from Monday 27 April to Wednesday 29 April 2026 at the Waldorf Hilton in London. Registration closed on 10 April 2026. No edition theme has been publicly announced for 2026. ## Where ILPA Summit Europe sits in the spring private capital calendar April places this event in the middle of the EMEA spring cluster, a period stretching from March to June when strategy-specific and audience-specific gatherings concentrate ahead of the summer pause. London's position as the largest private capital hub in Europe makes it a natural anchor for a summit of this profile. The late-April slot avoids direct conflict with the major pan-European generalist events that cluster around March and June. ## What separates ILPA Summit Europe from generalist LP and GP conferences Most European private capital conferences aggregate GPs, LPs, advisers, and service providers into a single, undifferentiated audience. ILPA Summit Europe inverts that logic: the event is built around LP participation, and GP and placement agent access is structured around serving LP meeting demand rather than generating exhibitor revenue. The Emerging Manager Showcase, noted in programme materials, provides a specific channel for smaller and newer fund managers to meet institutional allocators in a format they would not reach through generalist events. ## Who attends ILPA Summit Europe - **Institutional limited partners**: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, family offices, and funds of funds attending as the primary audience, with C-suite, board members, and portfolio managers eligible for complimentary access. - **General partners**: fund managers in private equity, venture capital, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets, attending to meet LP counterparts within the structured meeting system. - **Placement agents**: intermediaries facilitating GP-LP introductions, present within the access framework defined by ILPA. - **Emerging managers**: fund managers featured specifically in the Emerging Manager Showcase, a dedicated programme component distinct from the main meeting stream. - **Service providers**: a population present in the broader audience mix, though the event's primary design centres on the LP-GP meeting dynamic. ## What the ILPA Summit Europe format includes - Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings between LPs and GPs, forming the structural core of the three days. - Meetings on Demand, allowing participants to request and arrange meetings outside the pre-scheduled programme during the event itself. - Networking sessions integrated into the agenda alongside the bilateral meeting programme. - Cocktail receptions providing informal access outside the formal meeting structure. - The Emerging Manager Showcase, a dedicated segment giving smaller or newer GPs structured exposure to LP attendees. Specific session names, panel titles, keynote speakers, and stage configuration for the 2026 edition have not been publicly confirmed as of verification. One session titled "The Rise of Retail Capital in Private Markets" has been identified in pre-event materials, with a single panellist named, but the full speaker programme remains unpublished. ## How the ILPA Summit Europe meeting system works The meeting architecture at ILPA Summit Europe is the product itself. Participants enter a pre-scheduled 1:1 meeting system before the event opens, requesting and confirming bilateral meetings with counterparts on the other side of the LP-GP divide. This advance scheduling mechanism allows attendees to enter day one with a structured calendar rather than a blank slate. The Meetings on Demand component supplements this by enabling same-day or short-notice meeting requests once the event is underway, accommodating introductions that did not emerge during the pre-event scheduling window. Networking sessions and cocktails extend the total meeting surface beyond the formal bilateral slots. ## What the ILPA Summit Europe programme covers - The dynamics of LP-GP relationships and evolving terms, a perennial subject in ILPA's advocacy and research work. - Retail capital and its growing role in private markets, evidenced by the confirmed session on that theme. - Emerging manager access and the conditions under which smaller GPs reach institutional capital, addressed through the dedicated showcase. - Private capital strategy and allocation themes relevant to the LP community, covering the asset classes present in the audience: private equity, venture capital, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets. Specific programme themes beyond these have not been publicly confirmed for the 2026 edition as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is ILPA Summit Europe and who organises it? ILPA Summit Europe is the European edition of the Institutional Limited Partners Association's annual summit format. ILPA is the global trade body for LP-side institutional investors in private capital, and the Summit is its primary in-person convening vehicle in Europe. The 2026 edition is the seventh, running over three days in London. ### Is ILPA Summit Europe an LP-only event? The event is designed around LP participation and described in organiser materials as a premier LP-focused gathering. GPs, placement agents, and service providers are present, but the structural logic of the meeting system, the complimentary access policy for senior LPs, and the Emerging Manager Showcase all reflect an event built to serve the LP constituency. It is not LP-only in the strict sense, but LP interests govern its design. ### Who is ILPA Summit Europe NOT designed for? Several profiles find a poor fit here. GPs raising funds of less than a few hundred million euros, where the LP pool at this event (large institutional allocators with significant minimum commitments) is unlikely to be the right audience for an early-stage fund. Generalist conference attendees who attend primarily for content and keynotes: the format is meeting-intensive, and passive participation yields little. Service providers seeking exhibition-style brand exposure, as there is no exhibition component and no stand infrastructure. European GPs with no existing LP relationships at the institutional level, since the access model and meeting system reward preparation and prior network. Professionals who cannot meet the invitation requirement, which effectively screens out open-market registrations at the senior LP tier. ### What is the Emerging Manager Showcase? The Emerging Manager Showcase is a dedicated programme component within ILPA Summit Europe that provides structured access for smaller or newer fund managers to meet institutional LP attendees. It functions as a distinct channel within the broader meeting programme rather than a separate event. Beyond this description from organiser materials, the format, selection criteria, and number of participants in the showcase have not been publicly detailed as of verification. --- ## The venue: Waldorf Hilton The Waldorf Hilton occupies a landmark Edwardian building on Aldwych in central London, at the junction of the Strand and the arc of Aldwych itself. The hotel has operated as a five-star property for over a century and is a recognised venue for large-scale institutional events and diplomatic gatherings. Its central London location gives delegates direct access to the City and to Canary Wharf by public transport, facilitating the side dinners and bilateral meetings that extend beyond the formal programme. The building's scale accommodates both the plenary meeting infrastructure and the parallel bilateral meeting rooms that a 1:1 scheduling system requires. ## The organiser: ILPA ILPA, the Institutional Limited Partners Association, is the global membership organisation representing LP-side investors in private equity and private capital more broadly. Its membership spans pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, insurance companies, family offices, and funds of funds across North America, Europe, and beyond. ILPA is known primarily for its standards work, including the ILPA Principles on GP-LP terms and the due diligence questionnaire templates that have become market reference documents, and for its research and reporting on fund performance and market practice. The Summit series is ILPA's principal in-person convening format, with separate editions in North America and Europe. The European edition is classified in the source data as organised under a commercial publisher model. The organiser's city of operation and founding year are not specified in available materials. --- ## Editorial take *ILPA Summit Europe is one of the few events on the European private capital circuit where the meeting architecture is genuinely designed from the LP's perspective rather than the GP's or the sponsor's, making it a structural outlier in a calendar that otherwise defaults to formats serving fund manager distribution.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Access to ILPA Summit Europe is by invitation. LP-side participants at C-suite, board member, and portfolio manager level are eligible for complimentary attendance, reflecting the event's design logic of prioritising LP participation. Pricing for GP delegates, placement agents, and service providers is not publicly disclosed. Registration for the 2026 edition closed on 10 April 2026 according to pre-event materials. Enquiries and access requests are directed through the official ILPA event page. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the invitation-only access model work at ILPA Summit Europe? Access is controlled through an invitation process rather than open registration. Senior LP-side participants (C-suite, board members, and portfolio managers) attend on a complimentary basis, a deliberate structural choice to maximise LP participation. GPs and other participants operate under a separate access and pricing structure, the details of which are not publicly disclosed. ### Where and when does the 2026 edition take place? The seventh edition of ILPA Summit Europe takes place at the Waldorf Hilton in London from 27 to 29 April 2026. ### Are speaker lists published in advance? As of the verification date (6 May 2026), no confirmed speaker list had been publicly released for the 2026 edition. One panellist has been identified in connection with the session "The Rise of Retail Capital in Private Markets," but the full programme and keynote line-up had not been published through official channels. ### What is the language of the event? The event is conducted in English. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://ilpa.org/conference/ilpa-summit-europe/ | | Register | https://ilpa.org/conference/ilpa-summit-europe/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Data sourced from the ILPA official event page and cross-referenced with 10times.com and sipametrics.com; attendance figure of approximately 600 is drawn from organiser-published raw description and should be treated as self-reported; speaker programme was not publicly confirmed as of verification; organiser city, founding year, and portfolio size are not available in source materials; the full_address field in source data contains a truncated reference to the ILPA official site rather than a postal address and has been omitted from the fiche body. **Variables:** 35/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/infrastructure-investor-global-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Infrastructure Investor Global Summit > *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.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **24–27 March 2026** | **STATION Berlin** | **PEI Group** | **3,000** | | 4 days, Tuesday to Friday | Berlin, Germany | Germany | delegates (self-reported) | --- ## Definition 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 2026 edition: 24–27 March in Berlin 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. ## Where the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit sits in the spring calendar 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. ## What separates the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit from generalist LP-GP forums 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. ## Who attends the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit - Institutional infrastructure investors, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and endowments allocating to the asset class - Infrastructure fund managers (GPs) across core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic strategies - Placement agents acting on behalf of infrastructure GPs in fundraising - Fund of funds and infrastructure-focused asset allocators - Service providers to the infrastructure investment community, including advisers, lawyers, and lenders ## What the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit format includes - Plenary and keynote sessions with confirmed speakers drawn from the institutional investor and fund manager communities - Speed networking sessions providing structured, time-limited introductions across the full delegate population - Roundtable discussions on specific infrastructure themes - Closed-door discussions for a subset of participants - Evening receptions extending meeting volume beyond the formal programme - Women's Circle sessions - Member-only sessions reserved for qualifying 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. ## How the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit meeting system works 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. ## What the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit programme covers The programme themes reported for the 2026 edition reflect the current infrastructure investment agenda: - Infrastructure financing and capital structuring - Private capital deployment into infrastructure assets - Energy transition and decarbonisation infrastructure - Digital and data infrastructure - Co-investment and deal sourcing across geographies 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 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total delegates | 3,000 | | Total speakers | 400+ | | Confirmed keynote/plenary speakers (as of Nov 2025) | 5 | | Duration | 4 days | | Edition number | 20th | Breakdowns by LP and GP delegate count, AUM represented, international visitor share, and exhibitor numbers are not disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit? 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. ### Who makes up the delegate population? 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. ### Who is the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit NOT designed for? 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. ### Is the event relevant to investors new to infrastructure allocation? 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. --- ## The venue: STATION Berlin 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. ## The organiser: PEI Group 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. --- ## Editorial take *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.* ## How to register and what it costs 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](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. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the LP complimentary pass work? 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. ### What is the delegate fee for non-LP participants? 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. ### Is the event open to first-time attendees? 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. ### When and where does the 2026 edition take place? 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. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://live.peievents.com/infrastructure-investor-global-summit | | Register / LP application | https://live.peievents.com/infrastructure-investor-global-summit | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Source data drawn from PEI Group communications dated 20 November 2025 and official event site consulted at verification date; LP and GP delegate breakdowns, AUM figures, exhibitor counts, and stage architecture are not publicly disclosed; full address field in source data references the official site rather than a postal address and has been treated accordingly; organiser city and founding year are absent from available data. **Variables:** 37/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/infrastructure-investor-investor-forum-london.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Infrastructure Investor Investor Forum London > *The Infrastructure Investor Investor Forum London is an allocator-focused event in the Infrastructure Investor network, designed specifically for foundations, endowments, trusts, insurance companies, single family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds. With approximately 600 attendees, ...* --- ## Quick Facts | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---| | **London** | **~** | **600** | | United Kingdom | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/investor-forum/ | delegates | --- The Infrastructure Investor Investor Forum London is an allocator-focused event in the Infrastructure Investor network, designed specifically for foundations, endowments, trusts, insurance companies, single family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds. With approximately 600 attendees, the Forum operates as a complement to the larger Global Summit, with an audience composition deliberately weighted toward institutional capital allocators. The LP-centric format gives the event a different dynamic from the Global Summit: the presence of a high concentration of active allocators creates conditions for peer exchange on portfolio construction, manager selection, and market conditions without the commercial noise of a large, mixed-audience conference. Fund managers attend in a supporting role, with access calibrated to preserve the quality of the allocator audience. London's deep infrastructure of institutional investment management, including insurance, pension, and endowment capital, makes it the natural base for an allocator-focused infrastructure gathering. The event sits between the intimacy of invitation-only LP roundtables and the scale of the Global Summit, offering structured content and a meeting programme within a professionally managed conference environment. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/invest-europe-cfo-coo-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum > *Annual two-day forum convening Chief Financial Officers and Chief Operating Officers from European private equity and venture capital firms, held in Málaga, Spain, structured around plenary sessions, breakouts, and a welcome day that precedes the main programme.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026 edition** | **Málaga** | **Invest Europe** | **~300** | | Specific dates not disclosed | Spain · specific venue not disclosed | Industry association | delegates (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum is the official annual gathering of the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association dedicated to senior finance and operations professionals within the industry. It convenes Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operating Officers, and other senior fund operations executives from European PE and VC firms for two days of structured exchange on the operational and financial management of private capital funds. The forum is distinct from the PEI CFO Event, a separate initiative run by Private Equity International as a commercial publisher. ## Where the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum sits in the EMEA calendar The forum takes place in Málaga, Spain, placing it outside the main Paris-Amsterdam autumn cluster and the French Riviera winter circuit. Its specific dates within 2026 are not publicly disclosed as of verification. As an annual event with an application-based access model, it occupies a recurring slot on the EMEA private capital calendar dedicated to the GP-side operational community, a cohort that is underserved by the broader LP-GP summits that anchor the circuit. ## What the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum format includes The event runs across three days in total: a Welcome Day followed by a two-day main programme. Sessions include: - Plenary sessions convening the full delegate body around shared themes in fund finance and operations - Breakout sessions allowing smaller group discussion on specific operational or regulatory topics - Networking lunches integrated into the daily programme - Networking dinners extending peer exchange beyond formal sessions - A Welcome Day preceding the main forum, functioning as an informal opening for early arrivals The specific names of sessions, speakers, and stage configurations for the 2026 edition are published on the official agenda at cfo.investeurope.eu/agenda/. Confirmed participants include CFOs and COOs from leading European GPs, though the speaker list is not reproduced here as it is subject to change prior to the event. ## Who attends the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum The forum is oriented exclusively toward the GP-side operational community. Attendees include: - Chief Financial Officers of European private equity and venture capital fund managers - Chief Operating Officers of European PE and VC firms - Senior finance executives with responsibility for fund accounting, reporting, or treasury - Senior fund operations executives involved in investor reporting, compliance, or portfolio administration - Placement agents and service providers whose work is directly relevant to fund finance and operations (subject to access conditions) ## How meetings and networking are structured at the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum Access to the forum requires an application reviewed by the organiser, which shapes the composition of the delegate body before the event begins. Advance scheduling of meetings is confirmed as part of the event infrastructure. The welcome day and integrated networking lunches and dinners create multiple touchpoints across the programme for bilateral conversations outside plenary and breakout sessions. No official networking application is disclosed as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum and who organises it? The Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum is the official annual event of Invest Europe, the Brussels-based association representing the European private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure investment industry. It is designed specifically for CFOs, COOs, and senior finance and operations leaders within fund management firms. The event is not a general private capital summit: it is a specialist forum for the operational layer of the GP community. ### Who is the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum NOT designed for? Five profiles for whom the event is a poor fit: - **LP-side allocators.** Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices evaluating or monitoring fund managers are not the target audience. The forum addresses the internal operations of fund managers, not the capital allocation decisions of their investors. - **GP investor relations and fundraising teams.** The forum's focus is fund finance and operations, not LP engagement or capital raising. IR professionals may find the programme only tangentially relevant. - **Junior finance and operations staff.** The delegate body is composed of CFOs, COOs, and senior executives. The peer group and conversation register are calibrated for professionals with significant leadership responsibility, not analysts or associates. - **Generalist financial services professionals.** The operational specificity of PE and VC fund structures, carried interest mechanics, AIFMD reporting, and fund administration is assumed knowledge. Professionals arriving from banking, insurance, or asset management without direct fund operations experience are unlikely to find the programme pitched at an appropriate level. - **Service providers without a direct mandate in fund finance or operations.** The access model is application-based and reviewed by the organiser. Service providers whose work does not directly address fund accounting, administration, compliance, or operations are unlikely to meet the access threshold. ### How does the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum differ from the PEI CFO Event? The two events serve adjacent audiences but have different institutional origins. The Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum is the official event of Invest Europe, the European industry association, which means it carries the institutional weight and member network of the association. The PEI CFO Event is an initiative of Private Equity International, a commercial media and events publisher. The two are organisationally independent and should not be conflated. ### What languages does the forum use? The forum operates in English. --- ## Why Málaga hosts the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum Málaga is the confirmed host city for the 2026 edition. The specific venue has not been publicly disclosed as of verification. Located on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain, Málaga offers year-round conference infrastructure and international air connectivity through Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport. The city sits outside the primary EMEA private capital event clusters of Paris, Amsterdam, and the French Riviera, giving the forum a degree of geographic distinctiveness on the calendar. Further details on the venue, including capacity and facilities, are not available as of verification. ## The organiser: Invest Europe Invest Europe is the trade association for the European private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure investment industry, based in Brussels. It represents fund managers, institutional investors active in private capital, and associated service providers across Europe. The association produces research, advocacy, and industry standards, and operates an events programme of which the CFO & COO Forum is the specialist operational-community component. Its founding year is not documented here. The organiser website for this event is cfo.investeurope.eu. --- ## Editorial take *The Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum occupies a narrow but well-defined position in the EMEA circuit: the only association-backed forum dedicated to the operational leadership of European fund managers, which means its peer composition, access conditions, and programme specificity are calibrated in a way that purely commercial CFO events cannot replicate.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled through the official event website at cfo.investeurope.eu. The forum operates an application-based access model: prospective delegates submit an application that is reviewed by the organiser before a place is confirmed. Delegate pricing is not publicly disclosed as of verification. The data indicates that separate pricing tiers exist for Invest Europe members and non-members, but the specific amounts for the 2026 edition are not available. Interested delegates should contact the organiser directly through the website. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is the Invest Europe CFO & COO Forum open to anyone who registers? No. The event operates an application-based access model, meaning prospective delegates must apply and receive organiser approval before securing a place. This structure is designed to maintain a delegate body composed of senior finance and operations professionals from European fund managers. ### Where and when does the 2026 edition take place? The 2026 edition takes place in Málaga, Spain. Specific dates and the venue name are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The official agenda, including session details and confirmed speakers, is published at cfo.investeurope.eu/agenda/. ### How long is the event and what does the programme structure look like? The forum runs over three days in total: a Welcome Day followed by a two-day main programme. The format combines plenary sessions, breakouts, and integrated networking lunches and dinners across the main programme days. ### Where can delegates find the programme and speaker list? The Day 1 and Day 2 agendas, along with confirmed speakers, are published on the official event website at cfo.investeurope.eu/agenda/. The speaker list is subject to update prior to the event. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://cfo.investeurope.eu/ | | Register / apply | https://cfo.investeurope.eu/ | | Programme / agenda | https://cfo.investeurope.eu/agenda/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data is 47% complete (29/58 variables); specific dates, venue name, speaker list, delegate pricing, and organiser founding year are not publicly disclosed as of verification; organiser name (Invest Europe) inferred from raw description and website domain, as the organiser_name field in source data is null; self-reported attendance figure of approximately 300 delegates has no qualifying year or source label attached in the source data. **Variables:** 29/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/invest-europe-investors-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Invest Europe Investors' Forum > *Annual two-day forum held in Geneva each March, structured around a Performance Day and a Fundraising Day, bringing together pre-qualified institutional LPs and Invest Europe member GPs for peer-to-peer meetings, rotating dinners, and fundraising conversations in a non-commercial format.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **18–19 March 2026** | **Hotel President Wilson** | **Invest Europe** | **600 participants** | | 2 days, Wednesday to Thursday | Quai Wilson 47, Geneva, Switzerland | Switzerland | 400 delegates (200 LPs / 200 GPs), according to the organiser | --- ## Definition The Invest Europe Investors' Forum is the annual flagship convening of Invest Europe, gathering institutional limited partners and private equity and venture capital fund managers for two days of structured meetings, programme sessions, and high-level peer exchange. The event spans a Performance Day focused on portfolio and market topics, and a Fundraising Day oriented toward LP and GP dialogue. Held at the Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, the forum operates on an invite-only, non-commercial basis, with strict pre-qualification applied to all participants. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The 2026 edition runs on 18 and 19 March at the Hotel President Wilson, Quai Wilson 47, Geneva. A welcome cocktail on the evening of 17 March, from 18:00 to 20:00, opens the event and gives participants an initial opportunity for informal exchange before the structured programme begins. The full agenda for both days, including the speaker lineup from the Invest Europe board, institutional LP representatives, and senior GPs, is published at if.investeurope.eu/agenda/. ## Where the Invest Europe Investors' Forum sits in the spring calendar The forum occupies the early March slot in the EMEA private capital circuit, within the spring cluster of strategy-specific gatherings that runs from March through June. It precedes the denser autumn concentration anchored in Paris and Amsterdam. For European private equity and venture capital, the March timing aligns with LP budget cycles and early-year fundraising momentum, making it one of the first structured LP and GP convening points of each year. ## What separates the Invest Europe Investors' Forum from peer events The non-commercial format is the defining structural choice. There are no exhibitor stands, no sponsored content sessions, and no commercial presentations on the programme. Access is controlled at the point of application: institutional LPs are admitted complimentary following a review by the organiser, while GP participation is reserved for Invest Europe members. This pre-qualification process shapes the composition of the room before the first session opens, concentrating the attendance on European institutional allocators and their counterparties rather than broadening to include service providers and vendors. ## Who attends the Invest Europe Investors' Forum - **Pre-qualified institutional LPs:** pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies admitted complimentary following organiser review. - **LP fund-of-funds:** a distinct category within the LP population, subject to the same pre-qualification process. - **Invest Europe member GPs:** fund managers in private equity and venture capital whose attendance is reserved to Invest Europe membership. - **Invest Europe board members:** participants in the speaker programme drawn from the association's own governance. - **Placement agents and service providers:** access conditions for these categories are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## What the Invest Europe Investors' Forum format includes - Welcome cocktail on 17 March, 18:00–20:00, opening the forum the evening before the structured programme. - Performance Day on 18 March, dedicated to portfolio performance, market conditions, and EMEA investment trends. - Fundraising Day on 19 March, structured around LP and GP dialogue and fundraising conversations. - Famous LP and GP Rotating Networking Dinner, the named side event that cycles participants through different table configurations. - Dedicated networking time built into the daily schedule on each of the two programme days. The specific session names, stage count, and speaker assignments for the 2026 edition are published directly on the official agenda at if.investeurope.eu/agenda/ and are not reproduced here. No exhibition floor or commercial sponsor sessions are documented for this event. ## How meetings are structured at the Invest Europe Investors' Forum The meeting infrastructure at the forum relies on advance scheduling, with LP applications reviewed directly by the organiser before access is granted. This review process functions as a filter that shapes the quality of the counterparty pool participants will encounter. No dedicated B2B matchmaking application is documented as of verification. The Rotating Networking Dinner extends meeting volume beyond the formal session schedule by cycling participants across table configurations, generating structured introductions in an informal setting. Dedicated networking time is built into each programme day rather than confined to the margins of the agenda. ## What the Invest Europe Investors' Forum programme covers - Private equity fund performance and portfolio monitoring. - Fundraising dynamics and LP allocation behaviour in the post-zero-rate environment. - Artificial intelligence as an investment theme and as an operational tool for fund managers. - EMEA market trends across private equity and venture capital strategies. - Entrepreneur and growth financing perspectives. - Peer benchmarking among European institutional allocators. ## Invest Europe Investors' Forum 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser.* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total participants | 600 | | Delegate breakdown | 200 LPs / 200 GPs (400 total in structured programme) | | LP composition | Institutional LPs, LP fund-of-funds, Invest Europe member GPs | | Speakers | 2 confirmed as of verification | | Exhibition stands | Not applicable (non-commercial format) | | AUM represented | Not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Invest Europe Investors' Forum and what does it exist to do? The Invest Europe Investors' Forum is the annual institutional convening of Invest Europe, the European private equity and venture capital industry association. Its function is to create a controlled environment where pre-qualified institutional LPs and Invest Europe member GPs can hold substantive fundraising and performance conversations over two structured days. The non-commercial format and strict pre-qualification distinguish it from open-access industry conferences. ### Who is the Invest Europe Investors' Forum NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event, beyond the obvious fact of the access conditions themselves. First, fund managers who are not Invest Europe members cannot attend as GPs regardless of fund size or track record. Second, emerging managers without an established LP relationship base will find the two-day programme structured around conversations that presuppose existing institutional familiarity. Third, allocators with a purely North American or Asian mandate, who have limited interest in European private equity and venture capital specifically, will find the EMEA-concentrated peer group and programme a narrow fit. Fourth, service providers, placement agents, and advisers seeking broad commercial exposure will find no exhibition floor and no commercial session slots to occupy. Fifth, professionals seeking a passive conference experience with large keynote audiences will find the peer-to-peer, meeting-intensive format demanding in a way that does not suit passive attendance. ### What kind of LPs attend, and how are they selected? The LP population spans pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and LP fund-of-funds. Institutional LPs attend complimentary, but access is not open: each LP application is reviewed by Invest Europe before approval. This pre-qualification step is the mechanism that maintains the balance documented at 200 LPs to 200 GPs. ### Is the event conducted in English? Yes. The working language of the Invest Europe Investors' Forum is English. --- ## The venue: Hotel President Wilson The Hotel President Wilson occupies a position on the Quai Wilson in Geneva, along the north shore of Lake Geneva. It is part of the Luxury Collection and operates as a large five-star property with lake-facing event facilities suited to both plenary sessions and private meeting rooms. The lakeside setting and the scale of the property support the side-event architecture that the forum relies on: the Rotating Networking Dinner, the welcome cocktail, and the dedicated networking periods between sessions can each be hosted within the same building or on its terraces. Geneva's status as a centre for institutional finance and multilateral organisations makes the city a natural setting for a forum whose attendance is concentrated on European institutional allocators. ## The organiser: Invest Europe Invest Europe is the association representing the European private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure investment industry. Its registered country is Switzerland. The Investors' Forum is the association's flagship annual event, distinct from its advocacy, research, and standards work. Invest Europe's portfolio size and founding year are not publicly documented as of verification. As the industry association for European private capital fund managers and their institutional counterparties, Invest Europe occupies an organiser position that differs from commercial publishers: participation conditions are tied to membership, and the event's non-commercial format reflects the association's mandate to serve its member base rather than generate commercial sponsorship revenue. --- ## Editorial take *The Invest Europe Investors' Forum is one of the few events on the EMEA circuit where the room composition is actively managed before anyone arrives: pre-qualification on the LP side and membership requirements on the GP side mean that the 400 participants in the structured programme represent a curated cross-section of European institutional private capital, not a broad industry attendance.* ## How to register and what it costs Access to the Invest Europe Investors' Forum is by invitation and pre-qualification only. Pre-qualified institutional LPs, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies, attend complimentary following organiser review of their application. Invest Europe member GPs and LP fund-of-funds are subject to a delegate rate that is reserved to members and not publicly disclosed as of verification. Registration and application are managed through the official event website at if.investeurope.eu/. Delegate pricing, sponsor rates, and any tiered fee structures for the 2026 edition are not publicly available as of the verification date. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://if.investeurope.eu/ | | Register / apply | https://if.investeurope.eu/ | | Programme and agenda | https://if.investeurope.eu/agenda/ | --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the pre-qualification process work for institutional LPs? LP applications are submitted through the official website and reviewed directly by Invest Europe before access is granted. The organiser does not publish the specific criteria applied during review. Complimentary access for approved institutional LPs is confirmed at the point of acceptance, not at the point of application. ### Can service providers or placement agents attend? Access conditions for service providers and placement agents are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The non-commercial format and the documented audience composition, which centres on institutional LPs and Invest Europe member GPs, suggest that commercial access is restricted, but the specific policy for these categories is not confirmed in public materials. ### Where can participants find the full speaker list and session agenda? The full agenda for both the Performance Day on 18 March and the Fundraising Day on 19 March, including speaker details, is published at if.investeurope.eu/agenda/. The agenda is maintained directly by Invest Europe and updated as the event date approaches. ### Is there a dedicated networking application for the forum? No dedicated B2B matchmaking application is documented for the Invest Europe Investors' Forum as of verification. Meeting scheduling is facilitated through the advance LP application and review process, with the Rotating Networking Dinner and the structured networking periods on each programme day providing the principal in-person meeting infrastructure. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Figures on total participants, LP and GP split, and delegate pricing are drawn from organiser self-reported materials; AUM represented, exhibitor count, edition number, and organiser founding year are not publicly available as of verification.

The forum is organised by Invest Europe and convenes fund managers, institutional allocators, and related professionals for structured networking and thematic discussion. It takes place at Felix Meritis, a historic building on Amsterdam's canal belt. The creation year of the forum is not publicly documented. ## When and where the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum takes place in 2026 The 2026 edition runs on 14 and 15 October at Felix Meritis in Amsterdam. The venue and dates are confirmed on the official event site. As of the verification date, the programme for 2026 has not been published; the official agenda page carries a note directing visitors to the 2025 programme in the interim and signals that updates will follow. No speakers for the 2026 edition have been confirmed publicly. ## Where the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum sits in the autumn calendar October in Amsterdam is one of the denser weeks of the EMEA private capital autumn circuit, which concentrates activity in Paris, Amsterdam, and London between September and November. The Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum occupies the mid-October window, a slot that typically follows the early-autumn Paris anchor events and precedes the November year-end cluster. For venture capital specifically, this positions the forum as one of the few dedicated VC gatherings in the second half of the calendar, at a point when fund managers and allocators are reaching the final quarter of deployment and fundraising cycles. ## Who attends the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum - Venture capital fund managers (GPs), including early-stage and growth-stage funds active in European markets. - Institutional limited partners (LPs), including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds with VC allocations. - Placement agents and fund distribution professionals working in the venture capital segment. - Service providers operating in the venture capital space, including legal counsel, fund administrators, and auditors. - Startup ecosystem participants and investors with an interest in financing, artificial intelligence, and technology growth companies. The precise LP-to-GP ratio and the institutional breakdown of the 500-delegate figure are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## What the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum format includes - Networking reception open to registered delegates. - LP/GP networking dinners, providing closed-format conversation between allocators and fund managers. - Roundtables on thematic topics within the venture capital programme. - A structured advance meeting system in which LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is confirmed. The stage count, session names, and full programme structure for the 2026 edition have not been published as of verification. The organiser's website signals that programme details will be released progressively. ## How meetings are scheduled at the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum The forum operates a curated access model: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before confirmation, which functions as a quality filter on the allocator side. Advance scheduling is supported, allowing participants to arrange bilateral meetings ahead of the event rather than relying solely on floor encounters. The networking reception, LP/GP dinners, and roundtables serve as the primary structured formats within which these conversations take place. No official digital networking application has been identified as of verification. ## What the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum programme covers The thematic scope documented for the forum spans venture capital fund strategy, startup financing, artificial intelligence as an investment theme, and broader LP and GP networking. These categories reflect the organiser's positioning of the event within the European venture capital segment rather than the broader private equity or multi-strategy circuit. Specific session titles, confirmed speakers, and detailed agenda items for 2026 are not available as of the verification date. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum? The Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum is a two-day, invite-only professional gathering focused on venture capital. It is organised by Invest Europe and held annually in Amsterdam. Unlike open-registration conferences, the forum filters LP access through an application and review process, making the allocator population curated rather than self-selected. ### Who is the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. First, private equity fund managers focused on buyout, infrastructure, or private credit strategies: the forum is venture-specific, and the conversations on stage and around the table are oriented toward early and growth-stage equity. Second, LPs with no existing or prospective VC allocation, as the matchmaking and dinner formats assume active interest in the asset class. Third, service providers seeking broad market exposure across strategies: the concentrated VC audience limits reach beyond the venture segment. Fourth, participants seeking a passive conference experience; the format is structured around meeting intensity, and delegates who do not engage the advance scheduling system will underuse the programme. Fifth, professionals based entirely outside EMEA whose fund activity or LP relationships have no European dimension, given the forum's focus on the European venture capital market. ### What is the primary language of the forum? The event is conducted in English. ### What separates the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum from generalist LP/GP summits? The forum is strategy-specific: its focus on venture capital, startup financing, and AI investment themes means the conversation pool is narrower and more concentrated than at multi-strategy events such as IPEM Global or SuperReturn Europe. The invite-only access model and the LP review process reinforce this concentration. For a VC fund manager in active fundraising, the quality of LP attendance is more relevant than aggregate delegate numbers. ## The venue: Felix Meritis Felix Meritis is a neoclassical building on the Keizersgracht canal in central Amsterdam, completed in the late eighteenth century. Originally built as a centre for science, arts, and commerce, it has operated for several decades as a venue for cultural events, debates, and professional gatherings. The building's chamber rooms and main hall are suited to the roundtable and dinner formats that define the forum's meeting structure. Its location on the canal belt places it within walking distance of Amsterdam's main hotel concentration, which eases the logistics of side meetings extending beyond the official programme. ## The organiser: Invest Europe Invest Europe is a Brussels-based industry association representing the European private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure investment community. It produces research, data, and standards for the asset class, and the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum sits within its events portfolio as the primary dedicated gathering for the VC segment. The association's founding year and the full size of its events portfolio are not documented in the available data. The organiser's website for the forum is vcf.investeurope.eu. --- ## Editorial take *The Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum holds a specific and non-substitutable position in the autumn circuit: it is the association-backed, invite-only gathering where European venture capital allocators and fund managers meet in a format designed for relationship depth rather than delegate volume, at a moment in the calendar when Q4 commitments are being finalised.* ## How to register and what it costs Access to the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum is by invitation only. Qualified institutional LPs may attend on a complimentary basis, consistent with the model applied in the 2025 edition, though this has not been formally confirmed for 2026. Delegate and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Registration and access requests are handled through the official event website at vcf.investeurope.eu. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is the Invest Europe Venture Capital Forum open to anyone who registers? No. The event operates on an invite-only basis. LP participants are subject to an application process reviewed by the organiser. Profiles outside the qualifying categories, including non-institutional or non-venture-oriented participants, are unlikely to receive access through the standard channel. ### Do LPs pay to attend? Based on the 2025 edition model, qualified institutional LPs attend on a complimentary basis. This policy has not been formally confirmed for 2026 on the public-facing site as of verification. Other delegate categories, including GPs and service providers, have pricing that is not publicly disclosed. ### Where can I find programme and speaker information for 2026? The 2026 programme had not been published as of the verification date in May 2026. The official site at vcf.investeurope.eu carries a notice indicating that programme updates will follow, and the speaker directory requires member login to access. Delegates seeking detailed agenda content should monitor the official site or contact the organiser directly. ### Is there a networking application for the event? No official digital networking application has been identified for this event as of verification. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://vcf.investeurope.eu/ | | Register / access request | https://vcf.investeurope.eu/ | | Programme | not disclosed | | Speaker directory | https://vcf.investeurope.eu/speakers/ (member access required) | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Venue and dates confirmed via official event site; 500-delegate figure is self-reported by the organiser; LP pricing is based on the 2025 model and not formally confirmed for 2026; the 2026 programme and speaker list had not yet been published at time of verification. **Variables:** 39/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/ipem-future.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # IPEM Future > *Inaugural invite-only conference gathering sovereign wealth funds, private banks, family offices, and international GPs in Dubai for a selective private capital forum focused on financing, innovation, and investor convergence between Europe and the Middle East.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026** | **Dubai** | **IPEM** | **~900** | | 1st edition · dates not disclosed | UAE · co-hosted with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) · specific venue not disclosed | organiser website: ipem-market.com | self-reported target figure · LP/GP breakdown not disclosed | ## Definition IPEM Future is the inaugural Dubai-based conference from the IPEM organisation, conceived as a distinct event from IPEM's established Paris gathering. Held at the Dubai International Financial Centre, the event brings together institutional LPs and international GPs in a selective format targeting a capacity of approximately 800 to 1,000 participants. It sits within the Dubai Future Finance Week. The event marks IPEM's first structured presence in the Gulf region. ## IPEM Future and IPEM Paris: what separates the two events IPEM Paris operates at a different scale entirely, drawing around 6,000 participants across an expansive exhibition format. IPEM Future is built on a different logic: fewer delegates, no exhibition floor, and access granted by invitation or individual selection rather than open registration. The thematic orientation also differs. Where IPEM Paris covers the broad private capital spectrum, IPEM Future centres on financing, innovation, artificial intelligence, climate, and sovereign funds, with an explicit focus on the Europe-to-Middle-East capital corridor. ## Where IPEM Future sits in the Gulf and EMEA calendar The Gulf has attracted increasing attention from European private capital operators over the past three years, as sovereign wealth funds in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait have expanded their allocations to private equity, private credit, and infrastructure. IPEM Future positions itself inside Dubai Future Finance Week, a programmatic cluster that concentrates institutional finance activity in the UAE in January. For European GPs seeking face time with Gulf LPs outside the traditional EMEA circuit, the timing and geography are deliberate rather than incidental. A preview event held in December 2025, co-organised by DIFC and IPEM, brought together private capital leaders from both global and regional markets to shape the programme agenda. No confirmed speaker names for the main 2026 edition have been published as of verification. ## Who attends IPEM Future - Sovereign wealth funds and Gulf institutional investors - Private banks with Middle Eastern client bases - Family offices based in or allocating through the Gulf region - International GPs seeking LP engagement in the Middle East - Regional GPs active in UAE and broader Gulf markets - Placement agents with MENA coverage - Service providers operating in the Gulf private capital sector ## What the IPEM Future format includes - Conference sessions (specific stage count not disclosed) - High-end lounges designed for small-group meetings and side conversations - A hybrid programme combining credible finance content, private capital deal context, and a curated cultural dimension - Integration within the Dubai Future Finance Week - Advance-scheduled LP-GP meetings (applications reviewed by the organiser) The programme for 2026 had not been published as of verification. Session names, panel topics, speaker line-up, and stage configuration are not documented. The event is described by the organiser as a "hybrid format" combining conference and lounge components, but the specific breakdown of time across each is not disclosed. ## What the IPEM Future programme covers - Financing structures and private capital allocation - Innovation, artificial intelligence, and technology in fund management - Climate-related investment strategies - Sovereign wealth fund priorities and allocation frameworks - Europe-to-Middle-East capital flows and co-investment opportunities ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is IPEM Future? IPEM Future is an invite-only private capital conference held in Dubai within the Dubai Future Finance Week. Access is granted through individual selection by the IPEM and DIFC teams, not through open ticketing. The format combines conference sessions with high-end lounges designed for structured conversations, targeting approximately 900 delegates for its inaugural 2026 edition. ### Who specifically is IPEM Future designed to bring together? The event targets institutional LPs from the Gulf, including sovereign wealth funds, private banks, and family offices, alongside international and regional GPs seeking engagement in the Middle East market. Placement agents and service providers with MENA exposure are also part of the expected attendee mix. The LP composition and GP breakdown by number are not disclosed as of verification. ### Who is IPEM Future NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. First-time conference attendees or GPs without an established institutional track record are unlikely to clear the individual selection process. Managers focused exclusively on domestic European LP bases with no Gulf capital strategy will find limited audience relevance. Boutique service providers without existing relationships in the MENA private capital space will struggle to justify attendance against the selectivity of the access model. Open-registration conference attendees who rely on walk-in access or last-minute registration cannot participate, as invitations are controlled. Finally, GPs targeting niche mid-market buyout strategies in Northern or Central European geographies, without a clear international diversification narrative relevant to Gulf LPs, are unlikely to be prioritised in the selection process. ### How does IPEM Future relate to the December 2025 preview event? In December 2025, DIFC and IPEM co-hosted a preview gathering that brought together private capital leaders from global and regional markets specifically to shape the agenda for the 2026 inaugural edition. That preview was a preparatory session, not the main event. No speakers confirmed for the December preview have been publicly announced as confirmed participants in the 2026 main conference. --- ## The venue: Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) The DIFC is Dubai's dedicated financial free zone, home to more than 5,000 registered companies including asset managers, private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds, investment banks, and legal and advisory firms serving the regional capital market. It operates under its own legal and regulatory framework, distinct from the broader UAE system, which makes it the natural home for institutional finance gatherings in the Gulf. The specific building or hall within the DIFC campus where IPEM Future will be held is not disclosed as of verification. The DIFC's concentration of financial firms gives side meetings and informal conversations after sessions immediate proximity to decision-makers who may not be travelling from abroad. ## The organiser: IPEM IPEM (accessible at ipem-market.com) is a commercial event organiser focused on the private capital market. Its flagship event, IPEM Paris, is held annually on the French Riviera and in Paris, and draws approximately 6,000 participants from across the global LP and GP community. IPEM Future represents the organisation's first dedicated Gulf-region event, developed in partnership with the Dubai International Financial Centre. The organiser's founding year, city of registration, and full portfolio size are not disclosed in available documentation. The organiser country associated with the IPEM Future event is the UAE, reflecting the Dubai co-organisation structure. --- ## Editorial take *IPEM Future is a deliberate departure from the scale logic of the parent brand: smaller, curated, geographically specific, and structured around a capital corridor that every major European GP is currently trying to navigate.* ## How to register and what it costs IPEM Future operates on an invite-only access model. Participation is contingent on individual selection by the IPEM and DIFC teams; there is no open registration pathway. A "Selected Global Executive" category is referenced by the organiser, but delegate pricing has not been published as of verification. Expressions of interest and registration applications are directed to the IPEM website at ipem-market.com. Sponsor pricing and exhibitor package rates are also not publicly disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the invite-only selection process work at IPEM Future? Applications are submitted through the IPEM website and reviewed by the organiser. The IPEM and DIFC teams conduct individual selection of participating executives. The criteria applied in that selection, the timeline for decisions, and the volume of applications accepted are not publicly documented as of verification. ### What are the exact dates and venue details for IPEM Future 2026? Specific dates within 2026 are not published as of verification. The event is confirmed for Dubai, co-hosted at the Dubai International Financial Centre, and integrated within the Dubai Future Finance Week, but the precise venue space and date range remain undisclosed. The raw programme preview from December 2025 referenced January 2026 as a provisional period, but no confirmed dates have been announced for the main edition. ### Is there an official networking app or pre-scheduled meeting system? Advance scheduling of meetings is available, with LP applications reviewed by the organiser prior to the event. No official networking application has been announced for IPEM Future 2026 as of verification. Given the lounge-based format and the selective delegate list, structured meeting volume is expected to rely on organiser-facilitated introductions rather than a self-serve matchmaking platform. ### Is IPEM Future the same event as IPEM Paris? No. The two events are distinct. IPEM Paris is a large-format annual gathering with approximately 6,000 participants, an exhibition floor, and open-market registration tiers. IPEM Future is a separate inaugural event held in Dubai, invite-only, with a target attendance of approximately 900, no exhibition component, and a thematic focus on Gulf LP engagement, innovation, and sovereign fund capital. They share the IPEM brand but differ in format, geography, scale, and access model. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.ipem-market.com/ | | Register / apply | https://www.ipem-market.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from organiser-provided information and DIFC co-announcement materials.

The event is structured around a high-volume 1:1 meeting programme, positioning it as a capital formation venue rather than a conventional conference. The 2026 edition is the tenth, taking place 8–10 September at the Palais des Congrès. ## The 2026 edition: 8–10 September in Paris The tenth edition of IPEM Global runs from Tuesday 8 to Thursday 10 September 2026 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. The theme for 2026 is "Mastering the Course." No confirmed speakers had been publicly announced as of verification; the official programme page indicated additional speakers would be announced in due course. Venue capacity and total floor plan details are not publicly disclosed. ## Where IPEM Global sits in the Paris autumn calendar September marks the opening of the densest stretch of the EMEA private capital circuit, when fundraising conversations resume after the summer pause and LP and GP agendas begin to crystallise for the year-end closing cycle. IPEM Global occupies one of the earliest slots in that autumn concentration, placing it ahead of the October and November cluster anchored in Amsterdam and Paris. For GPs entering or mid-way through a fundraise, the timing aligns with Q3 LP review windows. ## Who attends IPEM Global - Institutional limited partners: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, funds of funds, and family offices. Participation is complimentary for certified institutional LPs and subject to organiser review. - General partners: fund managers across private equity, venture capital, private credit, infrastructure, and real estate strategies. - Placement agents. - Mergers and acquisitions advisors and asset managers. - Business service providers and advisors (legal, accounting, technology, and fund administration). - Entrepreneurs and corporate financing professionals, as indicated by the programme scope. ## What the IPEM Global format includes - Structured 1:1 bilateral meetings, pre-scheduled through an advance application process - Thematic breakout sessions - Roundtables - Networking lunches - Networking drinks receptions The number of conference stages, individual session titles, and any named special formats beyond those listed above are not publicly documented for the 2026 edition as of verification. The confirmed edition theme is "Mastering the Course." ## How the IPEM Global meeting system works The meeting programme is the operational core of IPEM Global. Attendance for institutional LPs is not open-registration: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, a filter designed to maintain the quality and institutional standing of the LP pool. Once admitted, LPs receive a two-day complimentary pass covering 9 and 10 September, with free accommodation included for qualifying profiles. Pre-scheduling is confirmed. GPs and other paying delegates can request meetings in advance, allowing both sides to prioritise counterparties before arriving in Paris. No official networking application has been publicly identified for the 2026 edition. Roundtables, networking lunches, and drinks receptions function as supplementary meeting surfaces around the core 1:1 programme. ## What the IPEM Global programme covers The 2026 programme is structured around the following thematic areas, as indicated on the official event site: - Private equity strategy and fund management - Venture capital and growth financing - Private credit and alternative lending - Infrastructure and real assets - Artificial intelligence applied to investment and portfolio management - Entrepreneurship and corporate financing Specific session titles, stage assignments, and confirmed speaker names are not yet publicly available for the 2026 edition as of verification. ## IPEM Global 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser.* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total participants | 6,000+ | | Institutional LPs | 1,600+ | | GPs attending | not disclosed | | AUM represented | not disclosed | | Exhibitors | not disclosed | | International attendance share | not disclosed | ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of LP is IPEM Global designed for? IPEM Global targets certified institutional LPs: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, funds of funds, and family offices. The organiser reviews LP applications before granting access, so the population is filtered rather than open. LPs meeting the institutional criteria receive a complimentary two-day pass with accommodation, a structural incentive that reinforces the concentration of qualified allocators on the floor. ### What makes IPEM Global different from a conventional private capital conference? The event is built around a 1:1 structured meeting programme with advance scheduling, not around a content agenda. Keynotes and panels exist, but the primary reason GPs and LPs attend is access to the bilateral meeting system. The scale (6,000+ participants, 1,600+ LPs according to the organiser) means the meeting pool is large, which distinguishes it from more intimate invitation-only gatherings focused on a narrower LP segment. ### What is the "Mastering the Course" theme for 2026? "Mastering the Course" is the official edition theme announced by the organiser for the September 2026 event. The thematic programming tied to that theme, including specific sessions, speakers, and roundtable topics, had not been publicly detailed as of verification. ### Who is IPEM Global NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for IPEM Global, despite the event's scale. First, emerging managers raising a debut fund below conventional institutional thresholds may find the LP pool's sophistication and ticket-size expectations misaligned with their fundraising stage. Second, strategy-specific practitioners, for example those focused exclusively on a niche within private credit or on a single geography, may find the generalist breadth of the programme and attendee mix less productive than a sector-dedicated summit. Third, professionals seeking passive conference-style learning without committing to a structured bilateral meeting schedule will find the format investment-intensive for the return. Fourth, service providers without a qualified client pipeline among the attending GP and LP base face a meaningful cost barrier (3,900 EUR for the standard advisor pass) relative to more exhibitor-oriented events. Fifth, LPs from outside Europe whose fund-of-funds or allocation mandates do not extend to EMEA-based managers will find the geographic orientation of the GP population less relevant. --- ## The venue: Palais des Congrès The Palais des Congrès de Paris occupies a distinctive position at the Porte Maillot, at the western edge of the 17th arrondissement, adjacent to the Boulevard Périphérique and the Neuilly-sur-Seine boundary. The building is one of the largest convention facilities in France, combining exhibition halls, a 3,700-seat auditorium, and a network of breakout rooms across multiple floors. Its direct connection to the Paris Métro (line 1) and proximity to both Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports via the RER make it one of the most accessible congress venues in the city for international delegates. The scale of the Palais suits an event drawing 6,000+ participants. The floor plan supports parallel programming across multiple stages alongside a large exhibition and meeting area, and the surrounding hotel density in the Porte Maillot and Neuilly corridor means side dinners and informal meetings can extend into the evenings without logistical friction. ## The organiser: IPEM IPEM is a French commercial publisher and event organiser operating in the private capital markets sector. The organisation produces IPEM Global as its flagship annual event, alongside at least one other format targeting the wealth management and private banking interface with private capital (IPEM Wealth). The founding year of the organisation is not publicly disclosed in available documentation, and the full size of its event portfolio is not confirmed as of verification. IPEM operates the event commercially, with a tiered pricing structure for GPs, advisors, and service providers, while subsidising LP attendance to maintain allocator concentration on the floor. --- ## Editorial take *IPEM Global's structural logic is straightforward: by subsidising LP attendance and capping access through an application review, the organiser concentrates institutional allocators in a single location and sells that concentration to GPs and service providers at a scale Paris alone can credibly sustain.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration for IPEM Global is handled through the official event website. Access is tiered. GPs, placement agents, M&A advisors, and asset managers pay 3,400 EUR for a visitor pass. Business service providers and advisors outside those categories pay 3,900 EUR. Certified institutional LPs may apply for a complimentary two-day pass covering 9 and 10 September, with free accommodation included; LP applications are subject to organiser review and are not automatically approved. The event operates on an invite-only access model, meaning all participant categories require approval or registration through the organiser rather than open-door ticket purchase. Sponsor and exhibition rates are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Delegates are advised to consult the official website for current availability and any changes to pass pricing ahead of the September 2026 edition. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does an institutional LP apply for a complimentary pass? LP applications are submitted through the official IPEM website and reviewed by the organiser. Approval is not guaranteed: the review process exists to verify institutional standing and ensure the LP population on the floor meets the event's qualification criteria. Successful applicants receive a complimentary two-day pass for 9 and 10 September, with free accommodation. The application process and any required documentation are detailed on the organiser's site. ### What does a GP pass include, and how far in advance should registration be completed? A GP, placement agent, and asset manager pass is priced at 3,400 EUR for the 2026 edition. The pass grants access to the structured 1:1 meeting programme, conference sessions, breakout sessions, roundtables, networking lunches, and drinks. As IPEM Global draws over 6,000 participants and operates an advance meeting scheduling system, early registration is advisable to secure meeting slots with priority LP counterparties. The organiser has not published a registration deadline for the 2026 edition as of verification. ### Is IPEM Global open to attendees from outside Europe? The event is held in Paris and the programme addresses private capital strategies with broad EMEA relevance, but participation is not geographically restricted. The international attendance share is not disclosed by the organiser. Given the scale of the LP pool (1,600+ institutional LPs according to the organiser), a share of attendees from North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific is plausible, though this cannot be confirmed from publicly available data. ### Where is the Palais des Congrès, and how do delegates get there? The Palais des Congrès de Paris is located at Porte Maillot, in the 17th arrondissement at the western edge of the city. It is served directly by Paris Métro line 1 (Porte Maillot station) and RER C (Neuilly-Porte Maillot), and is approximately 30 minutes from Charles de Gaulle airport by RER B and line 1. A cluster of hotels in the immediate vicinity and in Neuilly-sur-Seine provides accommodation options within walking distance of the venue. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.ipem-market.com/ipem-global/ | | LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/ipem_privateequity/ | | X | https://x.com/ipemmarket | | Register | https://www.ipem-market.com/ipem-global/ | | Programme | not disclosed | | Speaker list | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-04-26 **Next review:** 2026-05-26 **Notes:** Primary source is the official IPEM event website (ipem-market.com/ipem-global/).

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 annual edition: September in London 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. ## Where LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt sits in the calendar 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. ## Who attends LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London - Senior women professionals active in private debt and private credit as fund managers, investors, or advisors - Institutional limited partners with allocations to or interest in private debt strategies - General partners managing private debt funds, including direct lending and specialty finance - Placement agents active in private debt fundraising - Service providers operating across the private debt market 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. ## What the programme covers 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. ## What private credit is 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. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London and how does it differ from the PEI Group Women in Private Debt Forum? 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. ### Who organises LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London? 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. ### How many editions has the event run? The 2025 edition was the seventh annual event, which implies it began around 2019. The creation year has not been officially stated in publicly available materials as of verification. ### What is the format and typical day structure? The event runs as a single full day in London. The 2025 programme featured over thirty industry-leading speakers across panel discussions and sessions. A networking component is included. The specific session count, stage configuration, and evening format for 2026 are not publicly available as of verification. --- ## Why London hosts this event 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. ## The organiser: LPGP Connect 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. --- ## Editorial take *A community event that has run for seven-plus years, converting a defined professional cohort within private debt into an annual September gathering at a scale that preserves peer quality over volume.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled through the organiser's event page at lpgpconnect.com. Delegate pricing is not publicly disclosed. Access terms for LPs and senior buy-side participants are not detailed in publicly available materials as of verification. The organiser's event page is the appropriate contact point for access and pricing enquiries. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.lpgpconnect.com/event/women-in-private-debt-london | | LinkedIn | not disclosed | | X | not disclosed | | Programme | not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do I register for LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London? Registration is through the organiser's event page at lpgpconnect.com. The 2025 edition used a dedicated URL at lpgpconnect.com/event/7th-annual-women-in-private-debt-london. The 2026 registration page had not been published as of verification. ### Is this the same event as the Women in Private Debt Forum on peievents.com? 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 is a separate event organised by LPGP Connect, running in September. The two events are independent. ### When does the 2026 edition take place? The 2025 edition ran on 25 September 2025. The 2026 date had not been officially confirmed as of verification. Based on the September pattern, the event is expected to take place in September 2026 in London. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-06 **Notes:** Two events with similar names exist and must not be confused: this event (LPGP Connect, September, lpgpconnect.com) and the Women in Private Debt Forum organised by PEI Group (December, peievents.com, part of Women in Private Markets Summit EI-06732). Attendance figure not publicly disclosed for this event; the 200-participant figure previously attributed to this record belonged to the PEI Group event context.

The event operates a structured LP–GP matchmaking format, with facilitated one-to-one meetings running alongside plenary sessions and panels. It belongs to a family of related annual formats organised under the same brand, each targeting a distinct vertical within private debt and private equity. ## The 2026 edition: London, date not yet disclosed The 2026 edition is confirmed as a London-based event, according to the organiser's website. Specific dates have not been publicly disclosed as of the verification date, and no edition theme or headline speaker list is available at this stage. Interested attendees are directed to the official site at lpgpconnect.com for updates as the programme develops. ## Where LPGP Connect sits in the London private capital calendar London anchors the United Kingdom's private capital conference circuit year-round, but the city's autumn and winter windows carry the highest density of LP–GP-facing events. LPGP Connect's confirmed 2026 positioning places it in that broader London calendar, with December identified in available source material as the likely slot. That timing places it in the quieter year-end segment of the EMEA circuit, when fundraising conversations tend to be consolidative rather than exploratory. ## What the LPGP Connect format includes - Plenary sessions bringing together the full delegate audience - Panel discussions structured around strategy-specific themes - Facilitated one-to-one LP–GP meetings as the core networking mechanism The specific session titles, stage count, and any special formats for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented as of verification. LPGP Connect has historically organised distinct vertical events under its brand umbrella, including Private Debt London, CFO/COO PE, and Direct Lending London, each operating as a separate annual conference rather than a track within a single event. ## Who attends LPGP Connect - Institutional limited partners (pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, family offices, funds of funds) attending on a complimentary basis where qualified - General partners and fund managers active in private equity, private debt, and related strategies - Placement agents active in LP fundraising - Service providers to the private capital industry ## How the LPGP Connect meeting system works The central feature of the LPGP Connect format is the facilitated one-to-one LP–GP meeting programme. The event is structured so that the plenary and panel content provides a shared context, while the meeting layer creates the discrete bilateral interactions where fundraising conversations take place. This model, common to the London-based LPGP circuit, prioritises meeting volume and quality over conference scale. Advance scheduling mechanics and a dedicated networking application are not documented in publicly available sources as of verification. Whether meetings are pre-assigned by the organiser or self-scheduled by delegates through a platform has not been disclosed. ## What the LPGP Connect vertical programme covers LPGP Connect organises its annual activity across several named verticals. The documented formats include Private Debt London, CFO/COO PE, Direct Lending, Operating Partners, and events focused on AI, data, and technology in private capital, as well as sports investing. Each vertical targets a specific professional population within the broader LP–GP community. The 2026 programme content for the London conference has not been published as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of investor attends LPGP Connect? The event targets institutional allocators in a limited partner capacity: pension funds, insurance companies, endowments, family offices, and funds of funds with allocations to private equity and private debt. Qualifying LPs typically attend on a complimentary basis. GPs and fund managers seeking LP relationships, particularly in private debt and private equity, form the principal paying delegate population. ### Is LPGP Connect a generalist private capital event or a strategy-specific one? It occupies a middle position. The main London conference brings together LPs and GPs across private capital more broadly, while the LPGP Connect brand also operates distinct vertical events focused on private debt, direct lending, CFO and COO communities, and other specific segments. The two should not be conflated: attending the main London event is not equivalent to attending the Private Debt London or Direct Lending formats. ### How does LPGP Connect differ from larger LP–GP summits on the EMEA circuit? Scale is the primary differentiator. The one-day format and London venue position this as a compact, meeting-intensive event rather than a multi-day summit with a large exhibition floor. The structured meeting model is the core value proposition, not the breadth of the programme or the volume of delegates. No attendance figures are publicly available for comparison. ### Who is LPGP Connect NOT designed for? Five profiles for whom this event is likely a poor fit: first, fund managers targeting very early-stage or venture-stage LP relationships, since the event's private debt and private equity orientation draws allocators with different mandates. Second, GPs with no active fundraise or no near-term fundraising timeline, given that the meeting format is designed around capital formation conversations. Third, delegates seeking a multi-day immersive conference with a dense public programme and a large speaker faculty: the one-day format limits both content depth and networking breadth. Fourth, service providers expecting an exhibition floor or stand presence, since no exhibition component is documented for this format. Fifth, non-UK-based GPs for whom a London December event creates calendar compression against other year-end priorities, particularly if they lack an established LP base in the United Kingdom. --- ## Why London hosts LPGP Connect London is the primary hub for private capital activity in the United Kingdom and, by most measures, the largest private equity and private debt market in Europe by capital deployed and fund manager concentration. A London-based LP–GP conference draws on a deep local pool of institutional allocators and fund managers without requiring significant travel for most UK-based participants. The specific venue for the 2026 edition has not been disclosed. No further details on the building or neighbourhood are available from published sources. ## The organiser: LPGP Connect The event is operated by a commercial publisher based in the United Kingdom, trading under the LPGP Connect brand. The organiser's founding year, full legal name, and city of registration are not publicly disclosed. The portfolio of events produced under the LPGP Connect brand includes several distinct annual formats: Private Debt London (held in September), CFO/COO PE (held in July), Direct Lending London (held in September), and events focused on operating partners, technology in private capital, and sports investing. This event-per-vertical model is characteristic of specialist commercial conference operators in the London private capital market, where audience segmentation by strategy or functional role is the primary commercial logic. --- ## Editorial take *LPGP Connect positions itself as a meeting-intensity play in the London market: a one-day format that concentrates LP–GP access into a compact bilateral meeting programme, leaving scale and programme breadth to larger rivals on the EMEA circuit.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled through the LPGP Connect website at lpgpconnect.com. LP attendance is described as complimentary for qualifying institutional investors. GP and fund manager delegate rates are not publicly disclosed as of the verification date. Source material references a typical range of 1,500 to 2,500 GBP for GP delegates across LPGP Connect formats, but this figure is not confirmed for the 2026 London edition and should not be treated as a verified price. The event operates an open access model, meaning no invitation-only restriction applies, though LP qualification criteria may apply at the organiser's discretion. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is LP attendance genuinely free at LPGP Connect? Qualified institutional LPs are described as attending on a complimentary basis. The definition of "qualified" is not published, and the organiser retains discretion over which allocator profiles receive complimentary access. Placement agents and service providers are not included in LP pricing categories and should expect to pay delegate rates. ### Where can I find the 2026 programme and speaker list? The 2026 programme and speaker list are not publicly available as of the verification date. The organiser's website at lpgpconnect.com is the appropriate source for updates. No advance programme document has been published in available sources. ### Is LPGP Connect the same event as Private Debt London or Direct Lending London? No. These are distinct annual events, each with its own date, audience focus, and registration. They are produced by the same organiser under the LPGP Connect brand. Registering for one does not confer access to the others. ### Are there side events or evening functions alongside the main conference? Side events or evening functions are not documented in publicly available sources for this event. The one-day format is the extent of what is confirmed. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.lpgpconnect.com/ | | Register | https://www.lpgpconnect.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data drawn from organiser website and contextual knowledge of the LPGP Connect brand portfolio; 2026 programme, speaker list, venue, and specific dates are not publicly available as of verification; GP pricing range noted in source material is not confirmed for the 2026 edition and is excluded from the verified body text; organiser legal name not disclosed. **Variables:** 28/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/nordic-fundraising-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Nordic Fundraising Summit > *The Nordic Fundraising Summit is the leading GP-LP matchmaking event in the Nordic private capital market, drawing approximately 300 attendees from Nordic private equity and venture capital managers and European institutional investors.

Copenhagen provides a neutral Nordic gateway that is accessible from Stockholm, Oslo, and Helsinki while connecting the region's investment community with international LP capital. The matchmaking format is the event's defining feature: pre-scheduled one-to-one and small group meetings between fund managers and institutional investors are the primary product, supporting Nordic GPs in developing LP relationships without the inefficiencies of unstructured networking. For Nordic managers in the mid-market, where HNWI and institutional relationships are built over years of consistent engagement, the Summit provides an efficient mechanism for advancing capital conversations. The Nordic region's PE market combines institutional sophistication, with some of Europe's largest pension funds anchoring LP demand, with a GP landscape that includes globally recognised buyout managers alongside a vibrant venture capital ecosystem. The Summit serves both segments, with content calibrated to the specific conditions of Nordic fundraising: currency, governance, and regulatory considerations that differ from the pan-European market. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/nordic-private-equity-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Nordic Private Equity Forum > *The Nordic Private Equity Forum is an annual gathering of the Nordic and international private equity industry in Stockholm, drawing approximately 250 practitioners for a programme that examines market conditions, investment strategy, and industry dynamics specific to the Nordic private capital mark...* --- ## Quick Facts | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---| | **Stockholm** | **~** | **250** | | Sweden | https://realdealsnordics.com/ | delegates | --- The Nordic Private Equity Forum is an annual gathering of the Nordic and international private equity industry in Stockholm, drawing approximately 250 practitioners for a programme that examines market conditions, investment strategy, and industry dynamics specific to the Nordic private capital market. Stockholm's position as the principal Nordic financial centre, anchored by Sweden's large institutional investor base and a deep GP community, makes it the natural host city for the region's leading PE forum. The Nordic market occupies a distinctive position in European private equity: consistently strong exit multiples, a governance culture that supports institutional investment, and an LP base that includes some of Europe's largest pension funds. The Forum addresses the factors that shape Nordic PE performance and the conditions that differentiate the Scandinavian market from Southern and Central European private equity. For international GPs seeking Nordic LP capital or co-investment relationships, the Forum provides efficient access to the regional institutional community in a format sized for genuine engagement. For Nordic managers, it serves as the annual calibration of market positioning and the primary occasion for industry dialogue with international peers on the state of the asset class. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/ourcrowd-global-investor-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # OurCrowd Global Investor Summit > *An annual open-access investor summit held in Jerusalem, drawing thousands of investors and entrepreneurs to connect with Israeli startups and the broader private capital community through structured B2B meetings, delegations, and exhibition formats.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Jerusalem** | **Not disclosed** | **20,000** | | 2026 dates not yet announced | Israel; historically at the International Convention Center (Binyanei Hauma) | Israel | delegates (self-reported; year of reference not confirmed) | --- ## Definition The OurCrowd Global Investor Summit is an annual investor gathering held in Jerusalem, structured around the OurCrowd equity crowdfunding and venture platform. It brings together individual and institutional investors, startup founders, fund managers, and delegation participants from multiple countries to engage with Israeli technology companies and private capital deal flow. The summit is the largest investor-facing event in Israel by reported attendance, and it operates on an open-access model with tiered pricing and complimentary access for qualifying investor profiles. ## The 2026 edition: dates and status As of the verification date, no confirmed dates have been published for a physical 2026 edition. The official summit website (summit.ourcrowd.com) is operating in archive and waitlist mode. No programme, speaker list, or venue confirmation has been released. A physical edition in the first half of 2026 is considered unlikely given the logistical scale of past editions, which have exceeded 10,000 in-person attendees. The situation warrants monitoring for a potential second-half 2026 announcement. ## Where the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit sits in the regional calendar The summit does not belong to the standard EMEA private capital seasonal rhythm anchored in Paris, Amsterdam, or the French Riviera. It occupies a distinct geographic position as the principal investor event on the Israeli circuit, drawing participants who combine interest in venture-stage Israeli technology with access to OurCrowd's portfolio company pipeline. Its timing, historically in the first quarter, placed it at the opening of the EMEA conference year, though the 2026 schedule remains unconfirmed. ## Who attends the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit - Individual accredited investors and high-net-worth investors who invest through the OurCrowd platform. - Institutional limited partners, including family offices, fund of funds, and corporate venture arms. - General partners and fund managers seeking exposure to Israeli venture deal flow. - Startup founders and entrepreneurs from OurCrowd's portfolio and the broader Israeli technology sector. - Country and sector delegations organised through partner networks. - Placement agents and service providers active in the Israeli and emerging-market venture space. ## What the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit format includes - 1:1 facilitated B2B meetings between investors and companies or fund managers. - Country and sector delegations, providing structured group access for international participants. - Summit Week events distributed across Israel, extending engagement beyond the central venue. - An exhibition area where portfolio companies and partners present. - Networking receptions providing informal deal-flow and relationship-building opportunities. Session names, stage count, and special formats beyond those listed above are not publicly documented for the 2026 edition. No programme has been released as of the verification date. ## How the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit meeting system works The summit's primary structured layer is a 1:1 facilitated B2B meeting programme connecting investors with OurCrowd portfolio companies, fund managers, and other participants. Country and sector delegations add a group-format layer, allowing international investor groups to engage collectively with Israeli counterparts. No advance scheduling tool or official networking app has been publicly disclosed. The Summit Week extension across Israel creates additional touchpoints outside the main venue, though the logistics and scheduling of those satellite events are not documented for the 2026 edition. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of investor does the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit serve best? The summit is built around the OurCrowd platform and its portfolio of Israeli technology startups. It serves investors who want direct exposure to Israeli venture deal flow, whether as existing OurCrowd platform users or as new participants exploring the platform for the first time. Institutional LPs, family offices, and corporate venture teams seeking co-investment or fund relationships in the Israeli market are the natural institutional audience. The open-access model means the delegate base is broader and more heterogeneous than at invite-only LP-GP summits on the European circuit. ### Who is the OurCrowd Global Investor Summit NOT designed for? The summit is a poor fit for several specific profiles. Large institutional LPs running highly structured due diligence processes will find the open-access, high-volume format less suited to the confidential, agenda-controlled meetings they typically require. European or North American fund managers with no Israeli portfolio exposure or no intention to build one will find limited strategic return. Investors exclusively focused on private credit, infrastructure, or real assets will find the content and company mix almost entirely oriented toward venture and growth equity. Professionals attending primarily for peer benchmarking among asset allocators will find fewer of the LP-only or closed-door roundtable structures common at invitation-only European summits. Finally, delegates who need confirmed programme and speaker information before committing travel will face a structural obstacle, given the summit's pattern of late programme disclosure. ### Is the summit open to the public or by invitation only? The summit operates on an open-access model. Tickets are available for purchase through the official website, with tiered pricing that has historically included an early bird rate, a standard rate, and an on-site rate. OurCrowd's existing investors attend on a complimentary basis, and complimentary access has also been extended to qualifying institutional LPs and partner delegations. No invitation or pre-qualification is required for general delegate registration. ### What is OurCrowd's role in the summit? OurCrowd, the Israeli equity crowdfunding and venture platform, is the organising entity behind the summit. The event functions simultaneously as a public platform showcase and as a deal-flow channel: OurCrowd presents its portfolio companies, facilitates investor introductions, and uses the summit as a primary LP and co-investor engagement moment. The organiser's legal name and full corporate details are not publicly disclosed on the summit site as of verification. --- ## The venue: Jerusalem (International Convention Center, Binyanei Hauma) Past editions have been held at the International Convention Center, known locally as Binyanei Hauma, located on Shazar Avenue in Jerusalem. The venue is Israel's largest convention facility and has the capacity to accommodate the multi-thousand-person scale of the summit's reported attendance. For 2026, no venue confirmation has been published. The historical venue detail is included here as contextual reference; its applicability to a 2026 edition is not confirmed. Jerusalem's position as Israel's political and cultural capital gives the summit a symbolic weight beyond its commercial function. The city's hotel infrastructure and proximity to government ministries make it a practical base for the delegation formats that characterise the summit's outreach to international investor groups. ## The organiser: OurCrowd The summit is organised by OurCrowd, an Israeli-based equity crowdfunding and venture investment platform that enables individual and institutional investors to participate in startup funding rounds. OurCrowd operates as a commercial platform, and the summit is its primary annual public event. The organiser's founding year, full legal name, and broader event portfolio details are not publicly disclosed on the summit site as of verification. The organiser country is Israel. --- ## Editorial take *The OurCrowd Global Investor Summit occupies an almost singular position in the private capital events circuit: the one annual gathering that consistently channels thousands of international investors toward Israeli venture deal flow, operating at a scale and openness that no European LP-GP summit attempts, at the cost of the controlled-access intimacy those summits provide.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is handled through the official website at summit.ourcrowd.com. For the 2026 edition, no pricing has been published as of the verification date. Based on publicly documented figures from the 2023 edition, the historical pricing structure included a standard ticket at approximately $199 (around EUR 185), an early bird rate of $149 (around EUR 140) available until 1 December, and an on-site rate of $249 (around EUR 230). These figures are provided as historical reference only and are not confirmed for 2026. OurCrowd's existing platform investors attend at no charge, and first-time subscribers who complete an initial investment before the summit date have historically been eligible for a ticket refund. Complimentary access has also been extended to qualifying institutional LPs and partner delegations, though the criteria for that access are not publicly specified. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Can I attend the 2026 edition, and when will registration open? As of 4 May 2026, no dates, venue, or registration window have been announced for a 2026 physical edition. The official website is in archive and waitlist mode. Prospective attendees should monitor summit.ourcrowd.com for any announcement, particularly for a potential second-half 2026 edition. ### Do OurCrowd investors pay to attend? Existing OurCrowd platform investors have historically received complimentary access to the summit. In past editions, investors making their first OurCrowd subscription before the summit date were also eligible to have their ticket price refunded. These policies have not been confirmed for a 2026 edition. ### Is there a separate rate for institutional LPs or delegations? Complimentary access for institutional LPs and partner delegations has been part of the access model in past editions. The criteria and application process for this access are not publicly documented. Prospective institutional participants should contact the organiser directly through the official website. ### Is the 2026 programme available? No programme, speaker list, or thematic agenda has been published for 2026 as of the verification date. The organiser's site does not indicate a confirmed event date, and no speakers have been announced. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://summit.ourcrowd.com/ | | Register | https://summit.ourcrowd.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from the official summit website and organiser-published materials; attendance figure of 20,000 is self-reported with no edition year specified; historical venue and pricing data referenced from the 2023 edition and are not confirmed for 2026; organiser legal name not publicly disclosed; 2026 edition status uncertain as of verification; Concept definition block assessed as not applicable given the generalist and venture-platform nature of the event. **Variables:** 28/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/paris-finance-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Paris Finance Forum > *Annual one-day forum organised by Paris Europlace, held each June at the Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris, gathering institutional finance actors, public decision-makers, and European economic experts around the competitiveness of the Paris financial centre and adjacent innovation themes.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **9 June 2026** | **Pavillon d'Armenonville** | **Paris Europlace** | **1,500** | | 1 day, Tuesday | Paris, France | France | 600+ financial ecosystem actors (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The Paris Finance Forum is the annual flagship gathering of Paris Europlace, an organisation dedicated to promoting Paris as an international financial centre. Now in its 34th edition, the forum assembles institutional finance actors, public policy decision-makers, and European economic experts for a single day of plenary sessions, panels, and debates. Its scope is transversal across European finance: private capital, fintech, sustainable finance, and financial sovereignty all feature alongside one another, rather than any single strategy or investor category dominating the agenda. ## The 34th edition: 9 June 2026 in Paris The 2026 edition takes place on 9 June, running from 09:00 to 19:00 at the Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris. The event marks the 34th edition of the forum, making it one of the more established fixtures in the French financial calendar. The final programme is published through the Paris Finance Forum website and the Paris Europlace portal. No edition theme has been announced for 2026 as of verification. ## Where the Paris Finance Forum sits in the spring calendar The forum occupies an early-June slot, placing it in the final weeks of the spring cluster on the European private capital and finance calendar. That cluster runs from March through June and draws together strategy-specific events and broader market gatherings before the summer pause. An early-June date positions the Paris Finance Forum after the main spring fundraising and LP meetings season, functioning more as a market-taking-stock moment than as a deal-origination sprint. Its Paris location and its alignment with the French financial establishment give it a distinct institutional character within that window. ## What the Paris Finance Forum programme covers The published programme themes for the 2026 edition are: - Innovation and its implications for European financial markets - Artificial intelligence in financial services - Fintech developments and the competitive position of Paris - Entrepreneurship and growth financing - Networking across the Paris financial centre community Speaker profiles draw from top decision-makers within the Paris financial centre, public-sector figures, and European economic experts. The final session list and confirmed speaker names are published at parisfinanceforum.com. Only three speakers are listed at the time of verification. ## Who attends the Paris Finance Forum The forum is a transversal gathering of the Paris financial centre community rather than a closed LP-GP matchmaking event. Attendees include: - Institutional investors and asset managers based in or active within the Paris financial centre - Public-sector decision-makers and European policy figures - Fintech founders and innovation entrepreneurs - Placement agents and financial intermediaries - Service providers to the financial industry (legal, consulting, advisory) - Economic experts and academics contributing to the programme According to the organiser, the event draws approximately 1,500 participants, with 600 or more described as active actors within the financial ecosystem. LP and GP breakdowns are not disclosed separately. ## What the Paris Finance Forum format includes The event operates as a single-day forum with the following documented components: - Plenary sessions running across the full day (09:00 to 19:00) - Panel discussions with senior speakers from finance, public policy, and innovation - Open debates among participants - Networking opportunities integrated into the programme A formal B2B matchmaking platform or scheduling application is not documented for this event. The organiser does apply a review process to delegate applications before confirming registration. Specific session names, stage count, and any special formats beyond the above are not confirmed in publicly available materials at the time of verification. ## How meetings are structured at the Paris Finance Forum The Paris Finance Forum does not operate a structured pre-scheduled meeting system of the kind found at closed LP-GP summits. The format is a forum with integrated networking rather than a bilateral meeting programme. That said, the organiser does review delegate applications in advance, which introduces a degree of curation to who is in the room. Networking occurs through the natural flow of the programme across the 10-hour day, supplemented by any side conversations that participants arrange independently. No official networking application is listed. ## The forum's audience in context The Paris Finance Forum draws its identity from the Paris Europlace mandate: promoting Paris as a competitive location for international finance. The audience composition reflects that mission. Attendees include a broader mix of public decision-makers, policy-adjacent experts, and financial centre representatives than would be found at a closed private equity summit. Private capital actors (fund managers, institutional allocators, placement agents) attend alongside figures from retail banking, insurance, fintech, and European economic governance. This breadth is a deliberate design feature, not an incidental one. ## Paris Finance Forum 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total attendance | 1,500 | | Financial ecosystem actors | 600+ | | Edition number | 34th | | Duration | 1 day (09:00–19:00) | | Confirmed speakers (as of verification) | 3 | | LP and GP breakdown | Not disclosed | | AUM represented | Not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Paris Finance Forum and who is it for? The Paris Finance Forum is the annual convening event of Paris Europlace, now in its 34th edition. It gathers institutional finance professionals, public decision-makers, fintech figures, and European economic experts for a single day of sessions in Paris. The event is designed to serve the breadth of the Paris financial centre community rather than any one segment of it. ### How does the Paris Finance Forum differ from closed LP-GP summits on the EMEA circuit? The forum is not structured around bilateral LP-GP meetings or fundraising conversations. It operates as a plenary and panel-based forum with integrated networking, open to a wide range of finance professionals rather than a curated closed group of allocators and fund managers. Attendees seeking pre-scheduled meetings with LPs or GPs, or a programme focused narrowly on private equity or private credit, will find the format and audience composition here are materially different from events such as IPEM or SuperReturn. ### Who is the Paris Finance Forum NOT designed for? Five profiles for whom the event is likely a poor fit. First, fund managers in the active phase of a fundraise who need structured one-on-one time with LP decision-makers: the absence of a formal meeting system makes that difficult to replicate here. Second, specialist strategy investors (infrastructure-only, private debt-only, venture-only) who need a concentrated peer group: the audience is deliberately transversal. Third, non-European allocators who attend the EMEA circuit primarily for deal sourcing with fund managers: the programme centres on Paris financial centre competitiveness rather than investment origination. Fourth, professionals whose primary language of business is not English and who need a French-language programme: the documented event language is English. Fifth, practitioners seeking a high meeting density across two or three days: the single-day format limits the volume of substantive interactions that can realistically be arranged. ### Is the Paris Finance Forum focused on private capital specifically? No. The forum covers the full spectrum of European finance, with documented themes spanning fintech, artificial intelligence, innovation, and entrepreneurship alongside institutional investment. Private capital actors attend, but the event is not structured around their specific needs. It is positioned as the flagship annual convening of the Paris financial centre rather than as a private equity or private credit specialist event. --- ## The venue: Pavillon d'Armenonville The Pavillon d'Armenonville is a late-19th-century pavilion set within the Bois de Boulogne on the western edge of Paris, one of the capital's recognised prestige event venues. The building combines Belle Époque architecture with reception capacity suited to large-scale professional gatherings, and its gardens provide space for outdoor networking between sessions. The address listed in available documentation references Pavillon Gabriel in Paris; the exact operational address for the 2026 edition should be confirmed directly with the organiser. Its location outside the dense business district gives the event a slightly removed, contained character: participants tend to remain on-site for the full day rather than dispersing into the city between sessions. ## The organiser: Paris Europlace Paris Europlace is a French organisation whose stated mission is to promote and develop the Paris financial centre internationally. It convenes financial institutions, corporates, public authorities, and professional associations that share an interest in the competitiveness of Paris as a financial hub. The organisation is classified here as a commercial publisher operating in an institutional promotion capacity. Its founding year is not publicly confirmed in available documentation. The Paris Finance Forum is its principal annual public event; other activities within its portfolio are not listed in available materials. All organisational enquiries and registration are handled through the Paris Europlace website at paris-europlace.com. --- ## Editorial take *The Paris Finance Forum is the most institutionally connected gathering on the French financial calendar, but its value is diplomatic and reputational rather than operational: fund managers or allocators attending in search of meeting volume or strategy-specific peer exchange will find the format serves a different purpose.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Access to the Paris Finance Forum is subject to an application review by the organiser. Registration is handled through the Paris Europlace website at paris-europlace.com. Two pricing categories are documented: a member rate for Paris Europlace members and a standard rate for non-members. Neither rate is publicly disclosed as of the verification date of 4 May 2026. Prospective delegates should contact Paris Europlace directly for pricing information and to initiate the application process. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.paris-europlace.com/ | | Register | https://www.paris-europlace.com/ | | Programme | https://parisfinanceforum.com (referenced by organiser; verify directly) | ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is registration for the Paris Finance Forum open or by application? Registration requires an application that is reviewed by the organiser before confirmation. The event is not open-access or self-service ticketing. Prospective attendees should apply through the Paris Europlace website. ### What does it cost to attend the Paris Finance Forum? Pricing is divided between a Paris Europlace member rate and a non-member standard rate. Neither figure is publicly disclosed as of the last verification date. Confirmed pricing is available directly from Paris Europlace on request. ### Where exactly does the event take place and how do I get there? The 2026 edition is held at the Pavillon d'Armenonville in Paris. Available documentation also references Pavillon Gabriel as the address. Attendees should confirm the precise operational address with the organiser before travel, as the Bois de Boulogne site is not served by a metro station immediately adjacent and requires specific transport planning. ### When will the full programme be published? The final programme is published on the Paris Finance Forum website and through the Paris Europlace portal. As of verification on 4 May 2026, only three speakers were listed. Attendees should monitor parisfinanceforum.com and paris-europlace.com for updates in the weeks preceding the 9 June date. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-04 **Notes:** Data drawn from Paris Europlace public materials and organiser self-reported figures; LP and GP attendance breakdowns are not disclosed; the Pavillon Gabriel address listed in source data may conflict with the Pavillon d'Armenonville venue name and should be confirmed directly with the organiser; speaker count of 3 reflects confirmed listings at time of verification only; the programme URL parisfinanceforum.com is referenced in organiser materials but distinct from the registration URL and should be independently verified. **Variables:** 41/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/paris-vc-world-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Paris VC World Summit > *A one-day venture capital conference held annually in Paris, gathering early-stage startup founders, VC investors, and innovation stakeholders around pitch sessions, elevator pitching, and investor panels, within a relationship-driven format oriented toward European startup ecosystems.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Paris** | **Not disclosed** | **300** | | Dates for the 2026 edition not publicly disclosed | France · Specific venue not disclosed | Organiser name not disclosed · France | participants (self-reported) | --- ## Definition The Paris VC World Summit is an annual one-day conference dedicated to the venture capital circuit in Europe, held in Paris. It brings together early-stage entrepreneurs, VC investors, and innovation actors around a format built on pitch sessions, elevator pitching, investor panels, and structured networking. The event positions itself on the spring calendar of European VC and startup conferences. The creation year and edition number are not publicly disclosed. ## Where Paris VC World Summit sits in the European VC calendar The event sits within the spring cluster of European startup and venture capital gatherings, a period when founders seek visibility before summer and investors finalise pipeline decisions for the first half. Paris provides a natural anchor for this segment of the calendar: the city concentrates a significant share of French and continental European VC activity, and its infrastructure of conference venues supports the single-day, high-density format the event adopts. No specific dates for the 2026 edition have been publicly released as of verification. ## What the Paris VC World Summit audience looks like The event does not follow the institutional LP and GP structure of conventional private equity summits. According to information on the event, the audience combines early-stage entrepreneurs and VC investors, including angels, with service providers rounding out the mix. The organiser describes this as a relationship-driven gathering oriented toward startup founders seeking capital and visibility, and investors sourcing early-stage deal flow. ## Who attends Paris VC World Summit - **Early-stage startup founders** seeking investor access, pitch exposure, and visibility within the French and European VC community. - **Venture capital investors** (VC fund managers and partners) attending to evaluate deal flow from the pitch and elevator pitching sessions. - **Angel investors** present under the investor pass category, alongside institutional VC attendees. - **Service providers** attending under a dedicated resources and opportunities tier, including advisers, lawyers, and ecosystem enablers. ## What the Paris VC World Summit format includes - A full-day conference with investor panels bringing together VC fund managers and angels. - Pitch sessions allowing startups to present to an investor audience. - Elevator pitching as a compressed, structured format for high-volume founder-investor contact. - Networking sessions distributed across the programme to facilitate introductions outside the stage context. The specific session schedule, stage count, and confirmed programme titles for the 2026 edition are not publicly available. The speaker list is accessible by request to the organiser via email and is not published openly on the event website. ## How meetings and founder-investor contact work at Paris VC World Summit The event is structured around direct founder-investor interaction. Pitch sessions and elevator pitching create a sequenced contact mechanism: founders present in a public format before moving to one-on-one or small-group conversations in networking intervals. The conference does not appear to operate a formal pre-scheduled B2B meeting platform or a dedicated matchmaking application, based on publicly available information. The format positions relationship-building as the primary output, rather than the volume-oriented meeting systems used at larger institutional LP-GP summits. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is Paris VC World Summit, and who is it designed for? Paris VC World Summit is a one-day venture capital conference based in Paris, built around pitch sessions, investor panels, and founder-investor networking. It is designed for early-stage startup founders seeking investor exposure and for VC fund managers and angels looking to source early-stage deal flow in the French and European startup context. Service providers with a stake in the venture ecosystem also attend. ### Is Paris VC World Summit an institutional private equity or LP-GP event? No. The audience profile differs from conventional institutional private equity gatherings. The event combines early-stage entrepreneurs with VC investors rather than bringing together institutional allocators (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments) and fund managers in a fundraising context. It does not operate the structured LP-GP meeting systems or closed roundtables characteristic of events such as IPEM or SuperReturn. ### When does attending Paris VC World Summit not make sense? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. Private equity fund managers focused on buyout, infrastructure, or private credit strategies will find neither the audience nor the programme relevant to their fundraising or deal sourcing priorities. Institutional LPs (pension funds, insurers, sovereign wealth funds) seeking GP due diligence meetings should look to events with formal pre-scheduled meeting programmes and vetted GP rosters. Growth-stage or late-stage founders whose capital requirements and investor targets sit above the early-stage VC universe will find the audience composition misaligned. Fund managers or allocators who require a verified attendee list before committing should note that the speaker list is not publicly published and requires a direct email request. Finally, attendees seeking multi-day immersion with deep-dive content tracks will find the single-day, high-density format limiting. ### Is the speaker list publicly available? The speaker list for the 2026 edition is not published on the event website. According to available information, it is accessible on request by email to the organiser. No individual speaker names are confirmed in public sources as of verification. ## The venue: Paris (specific venue not disclosed) The 2026 edition is held in Paris. The specific venue has not been publicly disclosed as of verification. Paris hosts a concentration of French and European VC fund managers, accelerators, and startup infrastructure, which makes it a functional base for a one-day event oriented toward the French and continental innovation circuit. The absence of a named venue means side event logistics and neighbourhood context cannot be documented at this stage. ## The organiser: website operator at vcworldsummit.com The organiser of the Paris VC World Summit is a commercial publisher operating under the domain vcworldsummit.com. The organiser's legal name, city of registration, founding year, and broader event portfolio are not publicly disclosed. The France country attribution is confirmed. Given the commercial publisher classification, the event operates as a for-profit gathering rather than an industry association or non-profit initiative. No institutional endorsements or official patrons are on record. --- ## Editorial take *Paris VC World Summit occupies a specific and relatively narrow slot on the European VC calendar: a single-day, pitch-forward gathering in Paris that prioritises founder-investor contact over institutional conference mechanics, making it more legible as a deal-sourcing access point for early-stage founders than as a strategic forum for fund managers or allocators.* ## How to register and what it costs Three pass categories are available for the 2026 edition: an entrepreneur pass for early-stage startup founders, an investor pass for VC fund managers and angels, and a service provider pass for resources and opportunities. Pricing for all three categories is not publicly disclosed. The ticketing page is accessible at vcworldsummit.com/tickets/paris-2026/. The event operates on an open access model: no invitation is required to register. Delegate pricing should be verified directly on the organiser's site, as rates are subject to change. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is the Paris VC World Summit invitation-only? No. The event operates on an open registration model. Attendance is available through the ticketing portal on the organiser's website without a prior invitation or qualification process. ### What do tickets cost for the 2026 edition? Pricing for all pass categories (entrepreneur, investor, service provider) is not disclosed in publicly available sources as of verification. The organiser's ticketing page at vcworldsummit.com/tickets/paris-2026/ is the point of reference for current rates. ### When and where exactly does the 2026 edition take place? The specific dates and venue for the 2026 edition have not been publicly announced as of verification. The city is Paris, France. The organiser's website at vcworldsummit.com is the authoritative source for scheduling announcements. ### Is the event conducted in English or French? The Paris VC World Summit is conducted in English. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://vcworldsummit.com/ | | Register / Tickets | https://vcworldsummit.com/tickets/paris-2026/ | | Speaker list | Not disclosed publicly; available on request by email to organiser | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from vcworldsummit.com and organiser-provided descriptions; 28 of 58 canonical variables are populated (completeness score 45%); organiser legal name, venue, dates, pricing, speaker list, and most scale figures are not publicly available; lp_composition clarification confirms this event does not follow institutional LP-GP private equity format; Concept definition block evaluated and not applied (the event covers venture capital as a broad sector rather than a specific technical instrument requiring definition for a non-specialist reader). **Variables:** 28/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/patrimonia.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Patrimonia > *Two-day professional salon held in Lyon each autumn, gathering CGPs, private bankers, asset managers, family offices, and wealth management intermediaries around exhibition stands, plenary sessions, fiscal workshops, and thematic conferences.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **30 Sep – 1 Oct 2026** | **Centre des Congrès – Cité Internationale** | **Infopro Digital** | **10,000** | | 2 days, Wednesday to Thursday | Quai Charles de Gaulle 50, Lyon, France | France | delegates (self-reported by organiser) | ## Definition Patrimonia is the French national convention for wealth management professionals, held annually in Lyon. It brings together CGPs (Conseillers en Gestion de Patrimoine), private bankers, asset managers, notaries, accountants, brokers, family offices, and lawyers for two days of structured exposition, plenary sessions, and professional development workshops. With approximately 400 exhibitors and 10,000 attendees according to the organiser, it is positioned as the largest French gathering dedicated to patrimonial advisory practice. Its creation year is not publicly documented. ## When and where Patrimonia 2026 takes place The 2026 edition runs from Wednesday 30 September to Thursday 1 October at the Centre des Congrès inside Lyon's Cité Internationale. The full address is Quai Charles de Gaulle 50, Lyon. No edition number is publicly associated with the 2026 event. No overarching thematic title for the 2026 edition has been disclosed as of verification. ## Where Patrimonia sits in the French wealth management calendar Patrimonia occupies the end-September slot in the French professional events calendar, immediately before the dense autumn concentration of private capital events anchored in Paris. The timing targets practitioners mid-way through Q4 planning: asset management mandates, fiscal structuring ahead of year-end, and product selection for CGP distribution are the practical imperatives driving attendance at this point in the year. For an event that draws professionals from across France, Lyon's central geography makes the late-September slot logistically coherent. ## Who attends Patrimonia - **CGPs and CGPis** (Conseillers en Gestion de Patrimoine Indépendants): the dominant population, attending on complimentary badge after pre-registration - **Private bankers and private managers**: employed distribution professionals from banks and wealth management houses - **Family offices**: single and multi-family structures sourcing product and manager relationships - **Accountants and notaries** (comptables, notaires): professionals with fiduciary and tax-structuring mandates - **Brokers and insurance intermediaries** (courtiers): distribution intermediaries for life insurance and savings products - **Lawyers** (avocats): practitioners advising on estate planning, transmission, and wealth structuring - **Exhibiting product providers and service companies**: asset managers, fund platforms, insurance carriers, technology vendors, and other solution providers occupying the approximately 400 exhibition stands ## What the Patrimonia format includes - Two-day professional salon with approximately 400 exhibition stands - Plenary sessions open to all registered delegates - Fiscal and technical workshops (ateliers fiscaux) - Thematic conferences covering financing, family office practice, startups, artificial intelligence, and investor strategy - Exhibition zones for product discovery and face-to-face distributor-to-provider meetings The detailed programme, including session titles, confirmed speakers, and stage allocations, is published on patrimonia.fr/en/program. The number of stages, the speaker count, and any special formats beyond those listed above are not disclosed in available documentation as of verification. ## How networking and meetings work at Patrimonia Patrimonia operates as an open salon rather than a curated matchmaking summit. The primary networking infrastructure is the exhibition floor itself, where approximately 400 providers occupy stands and wealth management professionals circulate over two days. Plenary and workshop sessions create natural clustering of practitioners around specific product or fiscal themes, enabling corridor conversations and spontaneous meetings between CGPs and asset managers. No dedicated B2B pre-scheduling system, no structured LP-to-GP meeting programme, and no official networking application are documented in publicly available materials. The meeting logic is distributor-led: exhibitors set up their stands and the attending professional population flows to them. ## What the Patrimonia programme covers - **Financement**: debt structures, credit products, and financing solutions relevant to wealth portfolios - **Family Office**: structuring, governance, reporting, and product access for family wealth vehicles - **Startups and entrepreneurial finance**: private company investment and growth capital within wealth portfolios - **Intelligence artificielle (IA)**: technology applications in wealth management advisory and operations - **Investisseurs**: investor strategy, asset allocation, and market positioning for the practitioner audience ## The venue: Centre des Congrès – Cité Internationale The Centre des Congrès de Lyon sits within the Cité Internationale complex on the right bank of the Rhône, at Quai Charles de Gaulle 50. The complex was designed by the architect Renzo Piano and stretches along the riverfront between the Tête d'Or park and the Rhône. It houses the congress centre, hotels, residential buildings, and commercial spaces within a single urban development. The congress centre itself is a purpose-built facility regularly used for large-scale professional events and trade salons, with sufficient floor space to accommodate 400 exhibition stands alongside conference and plenary infrastructure. Lyon's position as France's second metropolis and its transport connections by TGV to Paris, Geneva, and Marseille make it accessible for a nationally distributed audience of wealth management professionals. ## The organiser: Infopro Digital Infopro Digital is a French commercial media and events group. It operates across multiple professional sectors including banking, insurance, asset management, and the built environment, publishing trade titles and running industry events and data services. Patrimonia sits within its financial services and wealth management portfolio. The company's founding year, its total portfolio size, and its city of headquarters are not publicly documented in available materials. The organiser website for Patrimonia is patrimonia.fr. --- ## Editorial take *Patrimonia is France's largest annual gathering of wealth management distributors, and its value lies precisely in that specificity: it is a salon where CGPs and product providers meet at scale, not a forum where institutional allocators evaluate fund managers.* ## How to register and what it costs Wealth management professionals, including CGPs, CGPis, and other qualified practitioners, can register for a complimentary delegate badge via patrimonia.fr after completing a pre-registration process. Access is open to qualifying professionals. Exhibitor rates are not publicly disclosed; interested companies are directed to contact Patrimonia directly through the official website. Delegate pricing tiers beyond the complimentary practitioner badge, and any separate registration fees for premium conference access, are not disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is Patrimonia, and who is its core audience? Patrimonia is a professional salon dedicated to wealth management practice in France. Its core audience is the CGP community, specifically independent and semi-independent financial advisers who build and manage private client portfolios. The event combines an exposition floor with approximately 400 providers and a structured conference programme of plenary sessions, fiscal workshops, and thematic talks, making it a product discovery and professional development event for distribution professionals rather than a capital formation event in the institutional sense. ### How does Patrimonia differ from LP-GP private capital summits? The distinction is in the audience and the transaction logic. Private capital summits like IPEM or SuperReturn Europe convene institutional limited partners (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments) and general partners (private equity and infrastructure fund managers) around fund commitments and portfolio strategy. Patrimonia convenes wealth management intermediaries and the product providers who distribute to them. The event's capital flows run through retail and high-net-worth channels rather than through institutional fund subscriptions. ### Who is Patrimonia NOT designed for? Five cases where attending makes limited sense: institutional investors operating exclusively through direct fund relationships (pension funds, insurance general accounts, sovereign vehicles) who have no interest in CGP distribution channels will find the event misaligned with their mandate. Fund managers with a minimum ticket size above the private client threshold, where individual CGP-sourced commitments would be sub-economic, gain little from the salon floor. Non-French-market operators with no intention of entering domestic CGP distribution have no natural counterpart population to meet. Purely quantitative or systematic investment managers whose products require institutional documentation and regulatory positioning that CGPs do not typically access will find the audience a poor match. Professionals seeking the pre-scheduled, curated LP-to-GP bilateral meeting formats that define events like IPEM will not find that infrastructure here. ### Is the Patrimonia programme published in advance? According to the organiser, the programme is available at patrimonia.fr/en/program, covering plenary sessions, fiscal workshops, and thematic conferences. Specific session titles, confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition, and the total number of stages are not documented in publicly available materials as of the verification date. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do wealth management professionals register for Patrimonia? Qualifying wealth management professionals, including CGPs, CGPis, and allied practitioners, receive complimentary access following a pre-registration process on patrimonia.fr. The badge is free but pre-registration is required; walk-in access conditions are not documented. ### What do exhibitors pay to participate in Patrimonia? Exhibitor fees are not publicly disclosed. Interested companies are directed to contact the Patrimonia team directly via the official website. No floor-rate or minimum stand price is available in public documentation as of verification. ### Where exactly does Patrimonia take place, and how do you get there? The event takes place at the Centre des Congrès de Lyon, Cité Internationale, Quai Charles de Gaulle 50, Lyon. The venue is accessible by Lyon's Part-Dieu TGV station (approximately 20 minutes by public transport or taxi) and sits on the T1 tram line. Lyon Part-Dieu connects to Paris in roughly two hours by TGV and to Geneva in approximately two hours. ### Is an official networking or matchmaking app available for Patrimonia? No official networking application or pre-scheduling system is documented in publicly available materials. The networking model is salon-based: registered professionals circulate the exhibition floor and attend sessions without a structured bilateral meeting programme. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.patrimonia.fr/ | | LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/patrimonia/ | | X | https://x.com/patrimonialyon | | Register | https://www.patrimonia.fr/ | | Programme | https://www.patrimonia.fr/en/program | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Figures for attendance (10,000) and exhibitor count (approximately 400) are self-reported by the organiser; no third-party verification is available.

It brings together institutional limited partners, credit fund managers, placement agents, and service providers for a concentrated programme of plenary sessions, workshops, and structured networking. The event operates on a full two-day pass model, with no single-day entry available. A creation year is not publicly documented. ## The 2026 edition: 5–6 May in London The 2026 edition takes place on 5 and 6 May at the Hilton Tower Bridge in London. No overarching edition theme has been published as of verification. The programme spans direct lending, CLOs, special situations, and sustainability-linked credit, drawing approximately 69 speakers across its sessions. Confirmed speaker affiliations include the Pension Protection Fund, MetLife Investment Management, Achmea Investment Management, and Allianz Global Investors, among others. Exact session names beyond the formats listed below are not publicly confirmed at this stage. ## Where PDI Europe Summit sits in the spring private debt calendar The event occupies a May slot in the spring cluster of strategy-specific summits on the EMEA private capital circuit, which runs from March through June. Within that cluster, it is one of the few events dedicated exclusively to private debt, positioning it alongside strategy-specific gatherings rather than the broader multi-asset LP-GP convenings that dominate the autumn calendar in Paris and Amsterdam. For private debt practitioners, the spring timing aligns with mid-year portfolio reviews and active fundraising cycles. ## Who attends PDI Europe Summit - Institutional limited partners, including pension funds, insurance companies, and private wealth allocators, who attend on a complimentary basis subject to qualification criteria - Senior credit fund managers and general partners active in direct lending, CLOs, and special situations strategies - Placement agents and fund distribution professionals focused on private debt mandates - Investment advisors and consultants serving institutional allocators in credit markets - Service providers to the private debt industry, including legal, fund administration, and data firms ## What the PDI Europe Summit format includes - Plenary sessions open to all registered delegates - Thematic workshops, including documented sessions on Emerging Managers and Evergreen Fund Structuring - Panel discussions, including a documented panel on Sustainability and Impact Credit - Networking lunches and dinners integrated into the two-day programme The event does not offer a single-day pass; attendance requires a full two-day commitment. The number of stages is not publicly disclosed. Side events beyond the lunches and dinners are not documented in available source material. ## How meetings and networking are structured at PDI Europe Summit The format integrates networking directly into the programme calendar through lunches and dinners rather than through a separate structured meeting system. Advance pre-scheduling tools and a dedicated networking application have not been confirmed for the 2026 edition. Whether a proprietary B2B matchmaking mechanism operates alongside the formal programme is not publicly documented. Institutional LPs described as qualifying for complimentary access are typically engaged at the senior manager or advisor level, which implies a degree of curation in the LP population, though the precise qualification process is not published. ## What the PDI Europe Summit programme covers - Direct lending market conditions and deal flow across European jurisdictions - CLO structuring and the collateralised loan obligation market in Europe - Special situations and distressed credit strategies - Emerging Manager access and fund structuring considerations - Evergreen fund structures and their role in broadening LP access to private debt - Sustainability and impact credit, including ESG integration in private debt portfolios - Artificial intelligence applications relevant to private debt investment and operations ## PDI Europe Summit 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total attendance | 400+ private debt leaders | | Institutional LPs | 200+ (per organiser description) | | Total attendees referenced in LP context | 500+ | | Speakers | Approximately 69 | | AUM represented | Not disclosed | | International delegate share | Not disclosed | A note on the attendance figures: the organiser references both "400+ leaders" and "500+ attendees" in different descriptions of the event.

Both are reproduced here as self-reported. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is PDI Europe Summit and who is it designed for? PDI Europe Summit is a private debt-focused annual summit organised by PEI Media, held in London each spring. It is designed for senior professionals with direct involvement in the private debt market: institutional LPs allocating to credit strategies, GPs managing direct lending or special situations funds, and advisors and service providers operating in that market. The event is strategy-specific and not a generalist private capital gathering. ### Who are the typical LP participants at PDI Europe Summit? According to the organiser, institutional LPs attending include pension funds, insurance companies, and private wealth allocators, with 200 or more LPs represented in a total attendance of 500 or more, based on self-reported figures. Qualified institutional LPs are offered complimentary access, consistent with PEI Media's standard practice for its summits. Named LP-side organisations include the Pension Protection Fund. ### Who is PDI Europe Summit NOT designed for? Five cases where the event is a poor fit. First, generalist LP allocators whose private debt exposure is incidental to a broader multi-asset mandate and who would derive more value from a diversified LP-GP summit than from two days focused narrowly on credit strategies. Second, GPs whose fund strategy sits outside private debt entirely, including buyout, venture, or infrastructure managers with no credit component. Third, professionals seeking a passive or observational conference experience: the two-day full-pass model and the density of practitioner-level sessions assume active engagement throughout. Fourth, emerging or sub-scale credit managers who may find that the LP composition skews toward established relationships and larger mandates, given the curation implied by complimentary LP access. Fifth, delegates with geographic mandates limited to markets outside Europe, since the programme and LP base are oriented toward the European private debt market specifically. ### How does PDI Europe Summit differ from a general LP-GP summit? The event is strategy-specific: every session, workshop, and networking conversation is anchored in private debt. A generalist summit such as IPEM or SuperReturn Europe covers private equity, infrastructure, venture, and credit within the same programme. PDI Europe Summit concentrates the full two-day programme on credit, which is a structural difference in how practitioners use their time and whom they meet. --- ## The venue: Hilton Tower Bridge The Hilton Tower Bridge is a four-star hotel on the south bank of the Thames in London, within walking distance of Tower Bridge and accessible from both London Bridge and Tower Hill stations. The building provides conference facilities alongside hotel rooms, which allows delegates to manage multi-day attendance without dispersing to separate accommodation. The south bank location gives the event reasonable proximity to the City of London financial district. Specific details on room configuration, breakout capacity, and the layout used for the summit's workshop and plenary components are not published as of verification. ## The organiser: PEI Media PEI Media is a commercial publishing and events business headquartered in the United Kingdom, producing specialised content and conferences for the global private capital industry. Its publishing portfolio includes Private Debt Investor (PDI), Private Equity International, PERE, and Infrastructure Investor, among other titles. The events operation runs strategy-aligned summits and forums tied to each editorial brand, of which PDI Europe Summit is the European flagship for the private debt title. The company's founding year and the precise size of its global events portfolio are not disclosed in available source material. PEI Media operates on a commercial publisher model, meaning its events are revenue-generating products rather than industry association gatherings. --- ## Editorial take *PDI Europe Summit is one of the few European events where a private debt GP can spend two full days exclusively with institutional LPs and peers who have already decided that credit is their market, which makes the meeting density qualitatively different from what a general private capital conference can offer.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is processed through the PEI Media events portal at the URL listed in the Resources section below. A full two-day pass is the only access option; single-day registration is not available. Standard delegate pricing is not publicly disclosed on indexed pages as of verification.

Prospective delegates should contact PEI Media directly for delegate and sponsor pricing. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Can I attend only one day of PDI Europe Summit? No. The event operates on a full two-day pass model exclusively. Single-day access is not offered. Delegates must register for and commit to both days of the summit. ### Is there a complimentary access track for LPs? According to the organiser, qualified institutional LPs are offered complimentary access. This is described as standard PEI Media practice for this summit. The qualification criteria defining which LP profiles are eligible are not publicly specified, and prospective LPs should contact PEI Media directly to confirm eligibility. ### What is the pricing for non-LP delegates in 2026? Delegate and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. No pricing appears on indexed pages as of verification.

It brings together general partners, limited partners, placement agents, and service providers active in private equity, LBO, and growth capital for a structured day of plenary sessions, panels, and peer networking. The event operates annually and is conducted in English. ## Where PE Insights DACH sits in the Munich calendar Munich has historically served as the gravitational centre of German-speaking private capital, home to a dense cluster of family offices, institutional allocators, and mid-market buyout managers. PE Insights DACH occupies this geography directly, positioning itself as the primary full-day gathering for DACH-focused private equity practitioners rather than a regional satellite of a pan-European flagship. The exact date of the 2026 edition is not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## Who attends PE Insights DACH - **Limited partners:** institutional investors, family offices, and funds of funds based in or active across the DACH region, admitted on a complimentary basis following verification of LP status. - **General partners:** fund managers active in private equity, LBO, and growth capital strategies, attending under a separate fee category. - **CFOs and COOs:** finance and operations executives from PE-backed businesses or fund management firms. - **Placement agents:** intermediaries supporting GP fundraising in the DACH market. - **Service providers:** advisers, lawyers, auditors, and technology vendors attending under a higher-rate ticket category. - **Speakers:** 60 or more industry practitioners contributing to plenary and panel sessions, according to the organiser. ## What the PE Insights DACH format includes The event is structured as a one-day intensive conference. Its documented components are: - **Plenary sessions:** keynote-style presentations on market conditions, fundraising, and macro trends. - **Panel discussions:** thematic panels covering fundraising, trends and forecasting, investment opportunities, value creation, and exit strategies. - **Networking lunch:** a structured midday break designed to extend bilateral conversations within the delegate population. - **Workshops (ateliers):** smaller, topic-focused sessions running within the day programme. Specific session names, stage count, and the precise sequencing of the day programme are not publicly documented as of verification. ## How networking is structured at PE Insights DACH Networking at PE Insights DACH is embedded throughout the single-day format rather than siloed into a separate programme segment. The networking lunch is the main structured interstitial, sitting between morning and afternoon sessions. Workshops provide a smaller-group environment where conversation depth is higher than in plenary settings. Whether a pre-scheduled B2B meeting system or a dedicated matchmaking application is in place is not publicly disclosed. No advance scheduling platform has been documented as of verification. ## What the PE Insights DACH programme covers The published thematic scope, drawn from the speaker programme and session structure, addresses five areas: - **Fundraising:** LP relations, fund marketing in the DACH market, and current capital-raising conditions. - **Forecasting:** macro and sector-level outlook for private equity in German-speaking Europe. - **Opportunities:** deal sourcing, sector allocation, and mid-market dynamics. - **Value creation:** operational improvement, portfolio management, and ESG integration where relevant. - **Exit strategies:** trade sales, secondary processes, and IPO conditions in the current environment. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is PE Insights DACH, and who is it primarily designed for? PE Insights DACH is a one-day regional private equity conference aimed at practitioners who are active in or allocating to the German-speaking market. The core audience is the bilateral GP/LP relationship: fund managers seeking LP dialogue and institutional allocators benchmarking managers in the DACH geography. The format is content-driven (panels and plenaries) rather than exhibition-led, which makes it more relevant to relationship-building than to product demonstration. ### How large is the PE Insights DACH audience, and what is the GP/LP balance? According to the organiser, the event draws 500 or more GPs and LPs and 650 or more PE professionals in total. The organiser describes the GP/LP mix as well balanced, though the precise breakdown by count is not disclosed. AUM represented by attendees is not published. ### Is PE Insights DACH a DACH-only gathering, or does it attract broader European participants? The event is explicitly positioned around the DACH region, and Munich serves as its host city precisely because of the density of DACH-based PE firms and institutional investors there. Whether a material share of attendees travel from outside Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is not documented. International attendance figures are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ### Who is PE Insights DACH NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. Fund managers focused exclusively on non-DACH European markets (Nordic, CEE, Iberia) will find limited LP relevance in a room calibrated to German-speaking allocators. Large-cap global GPs targeting sovereign wealth funds or major pension systems outside the DACH catchment will encounter limited audience overlap. Professionals whose primary need is a high-volume pre-scheduled meeting programme will find a one-day plenary format less productive than multi-day events with dedicated B2B matchmaking infrastructure. Infrastructure, real assets, and private credit practitioners may find the private equity orientation too narrow for their sourcing goals. Finally, delegates who require an exhibition floor with vendor stands will not find that format here: PE Insights DACH is a conference, not a trade fair. --- ## The venue: Munich Marriott Hotel City West The Munich Marriott Hotel City West is a full-service hotel in the western part of Munich, offering conference and event facilities sized for mid-scale professional gatherings. Its hotel infrastructure means that side conversations, informal meetings between sessions, and post-event dinners can be arranged on-site or in the immediate neighbourhood without requiring delegates to travel across the city. For a single-day intensive format where the networking lunch is a core element, a hotel venue provides the logistical continuity that a standalone conference centre would not. The specific room configuration, capacity allocation, and AV setup for the PE Insights DACH edition are not publicly documented. ## The organiser: PE Insights The organiser behind PE Insights DACH operates as a commercial publisher, based in Germany. The organiser's name is not publicly disclosed beyond the brand "PE Insights" associated with the event website. No founding year, portfolio size, or sibling events have been documented as of verification. The event operates its own website at pe-insights.com, where registration is managed through the TicketTailor platform. For direct enquiries, the organiser has published a contact address at sebastian@pe-insights.com. --- ## Editorial take *PE Insights DACH fills a specific and underserved slot in the EMEA private capital calendar: a single-day, English-language, practitioner-focused gathering anchored in Munich, calibrated to the GP/LP relationships that define the DACH private equity market rather than to the broader pan-European circuit.* --- ## How to register and what it costs LP and investor delegates attend PE Insights DACH free of charge. The complimentary pass applies to verified LPs, including institutional investors, family offices, and funds of funds. Registration is handled through the event website at pe-insights.com/dach. GP and fund manager delegate pricing is managed via TicketTailor but is not publicly listed; interested parties are directed to contact the organiser at sebastian@pe-insights.com. Service provider pricing carries a higher rate than the GP category; the exact figure is not publicly disclosed as of verification. No stand or exhibition pricing is applicable given the conference format. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do LPs register for PE Insights DACH? LPs, including institutional investors, family offices, and funds of funds, can register through the event website at pe-insights.com/dach. The pass is complimentary subject to verification of LP status. The verification process is not described publicly in further detail. ### What does it cost for GPs and service providers to attend? GP and fund manager pricing is not published on the event website. It is managed through the TicketTailor platform and requires direct enquiry to sebastian@pe-insights.com. Service providers attend at a higher rate than GPs, but neither figure is publicly disclosed as of verification. ### When and where does the 2026 edition take place? The 2026 edition takes place at the Munich Marriott Hotel City West in Munich, Germany. The specific dates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The event runs for one day. ### Is there an official networking app or pre-scheduled meeting system? No official networking application or advance meeting scheduling platform has been publicly documented for PE Insights DACH. Whether such a tool is provided to registered delegates is not confirmed as of verification. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://pe-insights.com/dach/ | | Register | https://pe-insights.com/dach/ | | Organiser contact | sebastian@pe-insights.com | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data is drawn from the event website and organiser-supplied descriptions; self-reported figures (650+ professionals, 500+ GPs and LPs, 60+ speakers) are labelled accordingly throughout.

With 500 or more attendees including over 150 LPs, it serves as the main point of convergence for the Swiss private capital community and the international managers who target Swiss institutional and family office capital. Switzerland's institutional investor base, including cantonal pension funds, insurance companies, and family-managed wealth vehicles, makes Zurich a meaningful destination for GPs raising European and global private equity funds. The single-day format is consistent with the Swiss market's preference for concentrated, high-productivity engagement rather than multi-day attendance. The event combines conference content with a structured networking and meeting programme. For international fund managers, it provides efficient access to a concentrated pool of Swiss allocators. For Swiss institutional investors, it functions as a calibration of manager quality and strategy direction across the private equity universe, from buyout and growth equity to venture and secondaries. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/pei-cfo-coo-forum-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe > *An annual forum in London dedicated to CFOs, COOs, and compliance heads of private equity fund managers, gathering approximately 300 professionals for plenary sessions, thematic breakouts, peer roundtables, and structured networking across operational and regulatory topics.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **London** | **PEI Group** | **~300** | | 2026 dates not published | United Kingdom | Commercial publisher | Delegates; composition by role not disclosed | --- ## Definition The PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe is an annual forum organised by Private Equity International (PEI Group) for chief financial officers, chief operating officers, and compliance and regulatory heads working within private equity fund management firms. The event focuses on operational, financial, and regulatory challenges specific to the GP back and middle office. It is distinct from LP-GP capital formation events: attendees are predominantly GP-side professionals rather than institutional allocators. The 2024 edition took place on 13 and 14 November at Convene 22 Bishopsgate in London. ## What the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe programme covers The forum addresses the operational and regulatory concerns of PE fund management, with thematic breakouts structured around compliance, fund operations, tax, and fund finance. Plenary sessions anchor the agenda, followed by smaller-format breakout groups that allow peer comparison on specific topics. Networking lunches and an evening reception extend informal exchange time, while peer roundtables reserved for CFOs provide a closed-format session alongside the main programme. As of the verification date, no 2026 programme has been published, and the session details, speaker list, and edition theme remain undisclosed. ## Where the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe sits in the EMEA calendar The forum occupies the late-autumn window of the EMEA private capital events circuit. The 2024 edition ran in mid-November in London, consistent with the circuit's autumn concentration that runs from September through November and anchors heavily in London and Paris. No confirmed dates for the 2026 edition have been published. The event sits in a cluster of operationally focused gatherings that complement the capital-formation-oriented summits earlier in the season. ## Who attends PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe Attendance is drawn from the GP back and middle office rather than from institutional allocators. The documented populations include: - Chief financial officers of mid-size to large private equity fund managers - Chief operating officers of PE firms - Chief compliance officers and heads of regulatory affairs - Fund finance and treasury professionals at GPs - Tax and accounting leads at PE fund managers - Service providers to the PE operational function (auditors, fund administrators, legal counsel, technology vendors) The 2024 edition drew CFOs from Bridgepoint, Permira, and Cinven, among others, according to information available at verification; the 2026 speaker and attendee list has not been published. ## What the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe format includes The event is structured around the following components: - Plenary sessions open to all delegates - Thematic breakout sessions covering compliance, operations, tax, and fund finance - CFO-only peer roundtables (closed format) - Networking lunches integrated into the daytime schedule - An evening reception The total number of stages, session titles, and any special formats beyond those listed above are not documented for the 2026 edition. The format description above draws from the 2024 edition structure and is subject to change. ## How meetings and peer exchange are structured at PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe Structured peer exchange at this forum takes place primarily through the CFO-only roundtables, which operate as a closed-format session separate from the main plenary and breakout programme. Networking lunches and the evening reception provide unstructured time for bilateral conversations. No pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking system or dedicated networking application has been documented for this event. The relatively small delegate count of approximately 300 supports informal introductions without a formal meeting infrastructure. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe, and how does it differ from a standard PE industry conference? The forum is a single-strategy, function-specific gathering aimed at the operational leadership of private equity fund managers, not a generalist LP-GP summit. The content centres on back and middle office challenges: regulatory compliance, fund administration, tax structuring, and fund finance. Capital formation and fundraising are not the primary activities here; peer benchmarking among GP operational teams is. ### Who is PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit for this event. First, institutional LPs (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies) have no documented role in this forum, which is oriented entirely toward the GP operational function. Second, investment-side GP professionals (deal teams, portfolio management heads) will find little content addressing their day-to-day. Third, emerging managers or first-time fund sponsors with lean operational infrastructure may find the benchmarking discussions calibrated to more established firms, given the 2024 speaker cohort drew from large buyout houses such as Bridgepoint, Permira, and Cinven. Fourth, professionals from infrastructure, real assets, or private credit fund managers may find the content weighted toward buyout-fund operational structures. Fifth, service providers seeking high-volume BD meetings in a structured matchmaking environment will not find that infrastructure here. ### How large is the event, and what types of firms send delegates? The organiser reports approximately 300 delegates. Firms sending attendees are primarily established buyout and private equity fund managers. The 2024 edition included representation from Bridgepoint, Permira, and Cinven at CFO level. Delegate composition by firm size or strategy for the 2026 edition is not publicly disclosed. ### Is the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe the same event as the Invest Europe CFO Forum or the PEI Operating Partners Forum? No. These are distinct events. The Invest Europe CFO Forum (21 to 22 May 2026, Málaga, Spain) is organised by the industry association Invest Europe and focuses similarly on CFO-level GP professionals, but under a separate brand and structure. The PEI Operating Partners Forum Europe (20 to 21 May 2026, London) addresses a different function within PE firms, namely value creation and portfolio operations teams, and is a separate PEI Group product. The PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe is a standalone annual event in PEI's events portfolio. --- ## The venue: Convene 22 Bishopsgate, London The 2024 edition was held at Convene 22 Bishopsgate, a conference and flexible workspace operator located within the 22 Bishopsgate tower in the City of London. The building is one of the tallest in the City and sits at the centre of London's financial district, within walking distance of the principal offices of many large private equity firms, law firms, and fund administrators active in the European market. The format of the venue, with dedicated conference suites alongside informal breakout and reception space, supports the mixed-format structure of plenary, breakout, roundtable, and evening reception that characterises this forum. No venue has been confirmed for the 2026 edition. ## The organiser: PEI Group PEI Group (Private Equity International) is a commercial media and events company based in the United Kingdom that publishes institutional-grade content across private markets strategies. Its events portfolio spans private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real estate, and related operational functions, running forums and summits across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The CFO & COO Forum Europe is one of several function-specific events in its European calendar, alongside strategy-focused summits. PEI Group's events are positioned as professional intelligence gatherings rather than trade shows, with content-led formats and no exhibition floor in the typical sense. The organiser's founding year and total portfolio size are not disclosed in available documentation. --- ## Editorial take *The PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe occupies a narrow and well-defined position in the circuit: it is one of the few annual events in London explicitly built for the operational leadership of private equity firms rather than for capital allocation or deal sourcing, making it a reference point for GP back-office professionals benchmarking on compliance, fund finance, and regulatory change.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration for the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe is managed through the PEI Group events platform. The event operates an open access model, meaning registration is not restricted to invited participants. Delegate pricing for the 2026 edition has not been publicly disclosed as of the verification date. Historical context suggests the 2024 edition was priced in the range of approximately 1,500 to 2,500 GBP depending on early-bird and standard rates, but this figure is unconfirmed for 2026 and should not be relied upon for budgeting. Sponsorship and service provider participation enquiries are handled by Josh Stoller at PEI Group (joshua.s@pei.group). --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Does the PEI CFO & COO Forum Europe require an invitation to attend? No. The event operates on an open registration model. Any qualified professional can register through the PEI events platform, subject to available places and applicable delegate fees. There is no documented invitation-only gate or LP-qualification requirement. ### When and where will the 2026 edition take place? The 2026 dates and venue have not been published as of the verification date (4 May 2026). The 2024 edition took place on 13 and 14 November at Convene 22 Bishopsgate in London. The city of London has historically hosted the event. ### How can service providers or sponsors participate? Sponsorship and commercial participation enquiries are directed to Joshua Stoller at PEI Group, reachable at joshua.s@pei.group. No sponsor pricing or package details are publicly disclosed. ### Is there a dedicated networking or meeting-scheduling application for the event? No dedicated networking application or pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking system has been documented for this event. Peer exchange takes place through the structured roundtable and session format, and through the networking lunches and evening reception built into the programme. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.peievents.com/ | | Register | https://www.peievents.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | | Sponsorship enquiries | joshua.s@pei.group | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data is at 47% completeness; 2026 programme, dates, venue, and pricing are unpublished at verification; the 2024 edition details (Convene 22 Bishopsgate, 13–14 November, CFO attendees from Bridgepoint, Permira, Cinven) are used as the nearest confirmed reference and are clearly attributed as such; the enriched description flagged a potential identity ambiguity with the Invest Europe CFO Forum and PEI Operating Partners Forum Europe, addressed explicitly in FAQ-1; organiser name inferred as PEI Group from the organiser website domain and raw description reference to Private Equity International, as the organiser_name field is null. **Variables:** 29/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/pere-europe-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # PERE Europe Forum > *A two-day 1:1 meeting-intensive forum in London gathering private real estate fund managers and institutional investors, now in its 21st edition, structured around advance-scheduled bilateral meetings and networking sessions within the broader private capital circuit.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **12–13 May 2026** | **Hilton London Tower Bridge** | **PEI Group** | **1,000+** | | 2 days, Tuesday to Wednesday | London, United Kingdom | United Kingdom | delegates (self-reported) | ## Definition The PERE Europe Forum is an annual two-day gathering in London dedicated to private real estate capital formation, bringing together institutional investors and fund managers for structured 1:1 meetings and networking sessions. Organised by PEI Group, a commercial publisher specialising in private capital, the forum sits within the spring cluster of the EMEA private capital calendar. The 2026 edition is its 21st, marking over two decades of continuous operation. ## The 2026 edition: 12–13 May in London The 21st edition of the PERE Europe Forum takes place on 12 and 13 May 2026 at the Hilton London Tower Bridge. No edition theme has been published as of verification. The programme agenda for 2026 is described by the organiser as downloadable from the event site, though confirmed speakers had not been announced at the time of verification. PEI Group is accepting speaker applications via a contact process managed by Kitty Watson. ## Where PERE Europe Forum sits in the spring calendar The forum occupies the late-spring segment of the EMEA private capital circuit, typically a period when fund managers returning from the winter Riviera season seek to consolidate LP relationships ahead of summer. London in May concentrates a density of institutional real estate capital, making it a natural anchor point for a strategy-specific gathering at this point in the fundraising year. The event runs for two days, consistent with the format of strategy-focused forums that prioritise meeting volume over extended keynote programming. ## What separates PERE Europe Forum from generalist LP-GP summits The forum focuses exclusively on private real estate, distinguishing it from generalist LP-GP gatherings that span the full spectrum of private capital strategies. The 1:1 meeting structure, combined with an application-based access model and a complimentary pass scheme for eligible institutional investors, is designed to concentrate deal-relevant conversations rather than produce a broad-audience conference experience. With a self-reported network of 1,400+ investors and managers across editions, the event positions itself as a relationship-renewal forum for participants already active in European private real estate rather than an entry point for the uninitiated. ## Who attends PERE Europe Forum - Institutional limited partners: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds allocating to private real estate strategies. - General partners and fund managers active in private real estate across European markets. - Placement agents representing real estate managers in LP outreach and fundraising processes. - Service providers to the private real estate industry, including legal, advisory, and debt financing firms. ## What the PERE Europe Forum format includes - Structured 1:1 bilateral meetings, pre-scheduled in advance through an organiser-reviewed application process. - Networking sessions integrated into the two-day programme. - A downloadable conference agenda, with panel and keynote content not fully detailed in publicly available sources as of verification. The number of stages, specific session names, special formats such as LP-only roundtables or closed dinners, and the total speaker count for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented as of verification. ## How meetings are scheduled at PERE Europe Forum The meeting system at PERE Europe Forum is built around advance-scheduled 1:1 sessions. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, creating a curated attendee pool on the investor side. This pre-screening process is designed to ensure that the bilateral meeting programme involves institutional allocators with genuine deployment mandates rather than observers. Whether a dedicated matchmaking application is used to facilitate scheduling is not publicly disclosed. Networking sessions run alongside the structured meeting programme, providing additional contact time beyond the formal bilateral slots. ## Who attends PERE Europe Forum – and who does not The attendee base comprises institutional real estate allocators and the fund managers and intermediaries who seek capital from them. The access model, combining LP complimentary passes with organiser-reviewed applications, skews the room toward participants with active roles in private real estate capital formation. ## The venue: Hilton London Tower Bridge The Hilton London Tower Bridge is a business hotel situated in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the Thames within walking distance of London Bridge station. The hotel provides dedicated conference and meeting facilities suited to structured bilateral programmes, with breakout space that supports the 1:1 meeting format central to the PERE Europe Forum. The proximity to the City of London financial district allows participants to extend the day with side meetings at nearby offices. Specific room configuration, total meeting-room count, and capacity figures for the 2026 event are not disclosed. ## The organiser: PEI Group PEI Group is a London-based commercial publisher and events operator focused on private capital markets, spanning private equity, private real estate, private debt, infrastructure, and related strategies. The group publishes titles including PERE (Private Equity Real Estate), the dedicated media brand for the private real estate asset class from which the forum takes its name. PEI Group's events portfolio covers multiple strategy-specific forums across the EMEA calendar and internationally. The organiser's founding year and total portfolio size are not publicly disclosed in verified sources. The PERE Europe Forum is the group's flagship European gathering for the private real estate segment. --- ## Editorial take *After 21 editions, the PERE Europe Forum functions less as a discovery event than as an annual checkpoint for established LP-GP relationships in European private real estate, where the 1:1 meeting density and the curated access model do more to determine its value than the published programme.* ## How to register and what it costs Eligible institutional investors may apply for a complimentary delegate pass through the organiser's application process, subject to review by PEI Group. All registration and access requests are directed through the official event page at peievents.com. Delegate pricing for non-LP attendees, sponsor packages, and stand pricing are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Access operates on an application model, meaning attendance is not available through open ticket purchase. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the PERE Europe Forum and who is it designed for? The PERE Europe Forum is PEI Group's annual two-day forum for private real estate capital formation in Europe, now in its 21st edition. It is designed for institutional investors allocating to private real estate and for the fund managers, placement agents, and service providers who engage with them. The structured 1:1 meeting programme is its defining feature, prioritising bilateral capital conversations over passive conference attendance. ### Who is PERE Europe Forum NOT designed for? Five profiles for whom this event is a poor fit. First, managers with no active European fundraise: the meeting programme is oriented toward capital formation, and attendance without a live fund or pipeline mandate produces little return for the time invested. Second, allocators with no private real estate mandate, or those whose real estate exposure is handled entirely through listed REITs or public vehicles rather than closed-end private funds. Third, early-stage or sub-institutional fund managers whose fund size or track record falls below the threshold that institutional LPs in this audience would typically engage with in a formal 1:1 context. Fourth, participants seeking a passive learning experience: the format is meeting-intensive and demands preparation and follow-through; those looking for a broad-horizon survey of private capital trends would find a generalist LP-GP summit a better fit. Fifth, professionals from outside private real estate who might attend a generalist forum to cross-map into adjacent strategies: the PERE forum's strategy specificity means the LP population is selected precisely for real estate allocation, and cross-strategy conversations are not the primary purpose. ### How does the PERE Europe Forum differ from other PEI Group events? PEI Group runs strategy-specific forums across private capital including private equity, private debt, and infrastructure. The PERE Europe Forum is the group's dedicated European gathering for private real estate, distinct from its broader-market events by both audience focus and geographic scope. Other PEI events serving related strategies are not detailed in publicly available sources reviewed for this fiche. ### What is the scale of the PERE Europe Forum network? The organiser describes a global network of 1,400+ investors and managers associated with the PERE Europe Forum across editions. Attendance at the 2026 edition is stated at 1,000+ delegates. Breakdowns by LP and GP category, and AUM represented, are not publicly disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do institutional investors access PERE Europe Forum at no cost? Eligible institutional investors may apply for a complimentary pass. The organiser reviews LP applications before granting access, so the pass is not automatic. The definition of "eligible institutional investor" and the specific criteria applied in the review process are not detailed in publicly available sources. ### Where does registration for PERE Europe Forum take place? All registration, LP applications, and sponsor or delegate enquiries are directed to the official event page at peievents.com/en/event/pere-europe/. No separate ticketing platform URL is documented. ### Are delegate pricing tiers published for the 2026 edition? Pricing for non-LP delegates, sponsors, and other attendee categories is not publicly disclosed as of verification. Interested participants should contact PEI Group directly through the event page. ### What should attendees prepare ahead of the 1:1 meeting programme? The advance-scheduling model means that productive participation requires pre-event outreach and meeting requests to be submitted before arrival. The specific submission deadline, platform used for scheduling, and the number of bilateral slots available per delegate are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/pere-europe/ | | Register / apply | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/pere-europe/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Data sourced from the official PEI Group event page (peievents.com) and the structured source record.

The Dolder Grand setting signals the event's orientation: it is a high-end gathering for a specific constituency rather than a broad-audience conference. With approximately 200 attendees and a significant concentration of family office representation, the forum provides the density of peer interaction that single-family office principals and chief investment officers seek at a scale where individual conversations remain possible. Zurich's position as a centre of Swiss private banking, family office management, and institutional wealth makes it a natural anchor for this format. International families with Swiss structures and relationships attend alongside domestic principals. The event's selective character, maintained through curated registration, preserves the quality of conversation that distinguishes it from open-access alternatives. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/private-equity-europe-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Private Equity Europe Forum > *The Private Equity Europe Forum is a two-day education-focused conference in London bringing together several hundred practitioners to examine the operating conditions, strategy shifts, and structural changes affecting European private equity.

The programme covers secondaries, growth investing, operational excellence, and the role of artificial intelligence in the asset class. The event is positioned primarily as a learning and benchmarking forum rather than a fundraising summit, attracting fund managers, operational professionals, investors, and advisors seeking substantive content alongside peers. This orientation distinguishes it from LP-GP matchmaking events and gives it an audience that includes mid-level professionals as well as senior decision-makers. London's depth as a hub for European PE activity supports the format: the city concentrates both the GP community and the advisory, legal, and service-provider ecosystem that sustains the asset class. For practitioners seeking structured peer learning on operational and strategic topics, the forum provides a focused two-day programme outside the circuit's larger fundraising events. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/private-equity-insights-germany.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Private Equity Insights Germany > *A one-day annual conference gathering private equity professionals, institutional investors, and fund managers in Frankfurt, with a focus on buyout, growth, and infrastructure strategies across Germany and the broader DACH region.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **13 March 2026** | **Westin Frankfurt** | **Private Equity Insights** | **500+** | | 1 day, Friday | Frankfurt, Germany | Germany | delegates, according to the organiser | ## Definition Private Equity Insights Germany is an annual one-day conference held in Frankfurt, bringing together fund managers, institutional investors, and private equity professionals focused on Germany and the DACH region. The event covers buyout, growth equity, and infrastructure strategies, and operates as a structured day of panels, workshops, and networking sessions. It is billed by the organiser as the largest GP/LP gathering of its kind in Germany. Creation year is not publicly disclosed. ## The 13 March 2026 edition in Frankfurt The 2026 edition takes place on Friday 13 March at the Westin Frankfurt. A published agenda is available at pe-insights.com/germany/agenda/, though individual speaker names had not been confirmed in public-facing materials as of the verification date. The edition carries no publicly declared thematic title. The format follows the established day structure of the series: morning panels, workshops, a networking lunch, afternoon panels, and a closing cocktail. ## Where Private Equity Insights Germany sits in the spring calendar March is the opening of the EMEA private capital conference season proper, after the French Riviera winter cluster in January and February. Frankfurt in mid-March positions this event as an early-spring entry point, ahead of the denser strategy-specific cluster running through April to June. For DACH-focused allocators and fund managers, it functions as a first major domestic gathering of the calendar year before the circuit disperses across Paris, Amsterdam, and London. ## Who attends Private Equity Insights Germany - Institutional investors (LPs), including pension funds and insurance companies active in the DACH region - Family offices, predominantly German-speaking, seeking direct exposure to private equity managers - Private equity fund managers (GPs) raising or managing buyout, growth, and infrastructure vehicles - Placement agents active in the German and broader DACH market - Service providers to the private capital industry, including legal advisers, fund administrators, and consultants The organiser describes the LP/GP mix as primarily German-speaking, drawn from Germany and the extended DACH geography (Austria, Switzerland). The event reports 150 or more LP participants among the 500-plus total attendance figure, according to organiser communications. ## What the Private Equity Insights Germany format includes - Morning panel sessions on private equity strategy, financing, and market conditions - Thematic workshops running in parallel or sequence with the main stage - A networking lunch providing unstructured deal and relationship time - Afternoon panel sessions continuing the main programme - A closing cocktail extending networking beyond the formal agenda The agenda published on pe-insights.com/germany/agenda/ provides the session-by-session structure for the 2026 edition. Specific session titles, stage count, and confirmed speaker names are not reproduced here, as individual names had not been extracted from publicly indexed materials as of verification. ## How meetings and networking are structured at Private Equity Insights Germany Private Equity Insights Germany does not publicly document a pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking system or a dedicated meeting management application. Structured meeting volume is generated through the format itself: the networking lunch and the closing cocktail are the primary dwell points for bilateral conversations between LPs and GPs. No advance scheduling platform or official networking app is disclosed for this event. Attendees seeking pre-scheduled meeting programmes of the type offered at larger multi-day summits should note this distinction before committing. ## What the 2026 programme covers The published themes for the 2026 edition span five areas, as listed on the organiser's agenda page: - Private equity strategy, including buyout and growth equity - Financing structures and capital markets access - Artificial intelligence as an investment theme and operational tool - Entrepreneurship and founder-backed company investment - Investor dynamics and LP allocation trends in the DACH region --- ## Private Equity Insights Germany 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total attendance | 500+ delegates | | LP participants | 150+ (according to organiser) | | Speakers | 3 confirmed (as of verification date) | | Duration | 1 day | | LP/GP geographic mix | Primarily German-speaking (Germany and DACH) | | AUM represented | Not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is Private Equity Insights Germany, and how does it differ from a multi-day summit? Private Equity Insights Germany is a single-day conference. The format is built around panels, workshops, and two main networking windows (lunch and closing cocktail) rather than a multi-day structured meeting programme. It is designed for professionals who want market-facing content and peer contact within a concentrated Frankfurt day, not for those seeking the depth of a two- or three-day bilateral meeting schedule. ### Who is Private Equity Insights Germany NOT designed for? Five concrete cases where the event is a poor fit: (1) GPs managing very large international funds whose LP targets are predominantly North American or Asian allocators with no DACH mandate, as the LP base is explicitly German-speaking and DACH-centric; (2) professionals seeking pre-scheduled, agenda-driven one-on-one LP/GP meetings, since no formal matchmaking system is documented for this event; (3) strategy specialists in niche segments such as private credit, infrastructure debt, or real assets who need deep thematic programmes, as the event covers a broad range of private equity themes in a single day; (4) service providers expecting a trade exhibition or stand-based format, since no exhibitor infrastructure is documented; (5) allocators based outside the DACH region who have no active mandate for German or Austrian fund exposure and for whom the geographic concentration of the LP community adds little marginal value. ### Is Private Equity Insights Germany open to all professionals, or is it invitation-based? The event operates on an open registration model. Verified institutional LPs and family offices can apply for a complimentary pass. GP and service provider registration is handled through the organiser's ticketing platform. No invitation gate or closed-circuit access is documented. ### How large is Private Equity Insights Germany compared to similar events in EMEA? The organiser describes it as the largest GP/LP gathering in Germany, with 500-plus delegates reported for recent editions. This is a self-reported figure. By comparison, multi-day summits at the European level (such as SuperReturn or IPEM) draw several times that number across multiple days, but operate in a different format category. Within a Germany-specific, single-day frame, 500 delegates is a material concentration. --- ## The venue: Westin Frankfurt The Westin Frankfurt is a five-star hotel located in the central Frankfurt district, adjacent to major financial institutions and within walking distance of the city's primary banking corridor. Hotels of this type in Frankfurt regularly host private capital and financial services events, offering structured meeting space alongside large plenary rooms. The Westin format suits a one-day conference: a single building concentrates all programme, catering, and networking activity, reducing friction between sessions and extending effective conversation time during the lunch and cocktail periods. The specific floor, room configuration, and capacity for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. ## The organiser: Private Equity Insights Private Equity Insights is a commercial event publisher specialising in the private equity conference segment. It operates the PE Insights series as a recurring circuit, with the Germany edition as one of several country-specific events under the same brand. The organiser's founding year and portfolio size are not publicly documented. The Germany event is its primary offering in the DACH market. Registration and ticketing are managed directly through pe-insights.com, using a platform-based ticketing infrastructure. The organiser is based in Germany; city-level location is not confirmed. --- ## Editorial take *Private Equity Insights Germany fills a specific gap in the EMEA circuit: a concentrated, domestically anchored Frankfurt day for German-speaking private equity professionals who want peer access and market content without the commitment of a multi-day international summit.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is open and managed through the organiser's website at pe-insights.com/germany/. Verified institutional investors and family offices can register at no cost under the complimentary LP pass scheme, which applies to qualified LPs upon verification. GP and fund manager pricing is processed via a ticketing platform linked from the registration page; the specific delegate rate is not publicly listed on indexed pages as of verification. Service provider pricing follows a separate, higher rate tier, also not publicly disclosed. Prospective attendees should contact the organiser directly or access the registration flow at pe-insights.com/germany/register/ for current pricing. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://pe-insights.com/germany/ | | Register | https://pe-insights.com/germany/register/ | | Programme / Agenda | https://pe-insights.com/germany/agenda/ | ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is there a cost for LP investors to attend Private Equity Insights Germany? Verified institutional LPs and family offices are eligible for a complimentary pass, according to the organiser's standard access model for the PE Insights series. The pass is subject to LP verification. GPs and service providers pay a delegate fee; specific rates are not publicly listed as of verification. ### Where exactly is the event held in Frankfurt? The 2026 edition is held at the Westin Frankfurt. A full street address is listed in organiser communications as Westin Frankfurt, Germany. Specific room or floor information for the 2026 edition is not publicly disclosed. ### How far in advance should attendees register? Registration timing guidance is not published by the organiser as of the verification date. Given a reported capacity of 300 to 500 participants and an open registration model, early registration is advisable, particularly for GPs and service providers whose access is subject to fee payment. LP applicants should allow time for the verification process. ### Is the event conducted in English or German? The conference language is English, as documented by the organiser for the PE Insights Germany series. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Figures for total attendance (500+) and LP count (150+) are self-reported by the organiser; no independent verification is available. Speaker names listed in the 2026 agenda were not confirmed in publicly indexed materials as of verification. Venue address drawn from organiser communications; room-level detail not disclosed. Creation year for both the event and the organiser is absent from available sources. **Variables:** 38/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/private-markets-alternatives-summit.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Private Markets & Alternatives Summit > *A residential, invite-only summit pairing European fund selectors with alternatives fund managers through structured workshop presentations and peer-to-peer sessions, held over two days at a lakeside alpine venue in the Swiss canton of Schwyz.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **Not disclosed** | **Kempinski Palace Engelberg / Lac de Zurich area** | **Citywire Switzerland** | **500** | | 2026 edition; exact dates not published | Pfäffikon, Switzerland | Commercial publisher | delegates (self-reported figures not yet confirmed for 2026) | --- ## Definition The Private Markets & Alternatives Summit is an annual residential event organised by Citywire Switzerland that convenes European fund selectors and alternatives fund managers in a small-group workshop format. The event centres on private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure, approached from a fund selection and portfolio construction perspective. It is not a generalist LP/GP summit; it operates as a structured presentation and due-diligence session, with selectors from private banks, wealth managers, and family offices interrogating fund managers directly. The summit should not be confused with the Switzerland PE Conference (PE Insights) or the SECA Annual Conference. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The 2026 edition is scheduled at a lakeside alpine location in the Pfäffikon area or within the broader Lac de Zurich hotel complex in Switzerland. The event follows a residential format, meaning participants are housed at the venue and programming runs across two consecutive days. Exact dates for 2026 have not been published as of the verification date. The organiser has confirmed the event is active, with registration open via the Citywire website. ## Where the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit sits in the Swiss calendar Citywire Switzerland typically positions this summit in September, placing it within the dense autumn cluster that anchors the EMEA private capital circuit between late summer and early November. In Switzerland specifically, this puts the event ahead of the year-end closing season and in alignment with the period when fund selectors in Swiss private banking and wealth management are reviewing portfolio construction decisions for the coming year. No confirmed calendar date for 2026 has been published. ## Who attends the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit - **European fund selectors** from private banks, wealth management platforms, and family offices, attending on a complimentary basis as invited guests; these are the buying-side participants whose presence defines the format. - **Alternatives fund managers** acting as presenting GPs across private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure strategies; they participate under a sponsorship model. - **Placement agents and service providers** may be present in supporting roles; their precise representation at this event is not publicly documented. ## What the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit format includes - Structured fund manager workshop presentations, each followed by live questioning from the attending selectors (the "grilling" component that distinguishes this format from passive panel sessions). - Keynote speakers: two keynote slots are confirmed for the 2026 edition; names and topics are listed on the Citywire event site. - Peer-to-peer sessions reserved for selectors, allowing buying-side participants to exchange views without fund managers present. - Networking lunches and dinners integrated into the residential programme over the two-day duration. - The full session schedule, stage count, and complete speaker list are not reproduced here; the Citywire site carries the live programme. The residential design means the boundary between formal sessions and informal networking is deliberately blurred. Conversations that begin in a workshop continue at dinner and carry into the following morning. This structure is the primary mechanism for relationship-building at the event, not a supplementary feature. ## How meetings are structured at the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit The meeting architecture at this event is built around the workshop format rather than a conventional B2B matchmaking system. Fund managers present to groups of selectors and face direct, structured questioning in the session itself. There is no documented dedicated matchmaking application for the 2026 edition. Advance scheduling is confirmed: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, which means the selector cohort is pre-qualified before the event opens. Peer-to-peer sessions create a separate track where selectors can benchmark views and share due-diligence observations outside the GP-facing programme. ## What the programme covers The substantive agenda addresses private markets and alternative strategies as they are used in wealth management and institutional portfolio construction: - Private equity as a portfolio allocation component, with at least one confirmed workshop on its role in wealth strategies (led by Frédéric Stolar). - Private debt, including its positioning relative to traditional fixed income in selector portfolios. - Real estate and infrastructure as alternatives allocations. - Fund selection methodology and the criteria applied by European selectors when evaluating alternative fund managers. - Portfolio construction questions specific to private banks, wealth managers, and family offices. The complete programme, including all workshop themes and keynote subjects, is available on the Citywire event site. Session-level details are not reproduced here. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of institution is the summit designed for on the buying side? The event is built for fund selectors at European private banks, wealth management platforms, and family offices. These are professionals whose role is to identify, evaluate, and allocate to third-party alternative fund managers on behalf of their clients or institution. The selector function is the defining criterion: participants are there to assess, not to raise capital themselves. ### Who is the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit NOT designed for? Five cases where the event is a poor fit: 1. **Large institutional LPs with in-house teams** (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies). The selector-focused format and wealth management context are misaligned with how these institutions source and diligence fund managers. 2. **Fund managers seeking broad GP-to-GP networking.** The programme is structured around GP-to-selector interaction. Lateral peer exchange among fund managers is not what the format prioritises. 3. **Generalist conference attendees.** This is a closed, invite-only residential event, not an open-registration conference. Passive attendance is not available. 4. **Fund managers outside private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure.** The scope is defined by these four strategy categories; managers in hedge funds, liquid alternatives, or other categories are outside the confirmed programme. 5. **Selectors based outside Europe or without a genuine allocation mandate.** The organiser reviews LP applications before granting access; selectors who cannot demonstrate a credible allocation function at a qualifying institution are unlikely to receive an invitation. ### How does the event differ from a standard LP/GP summit? A standard LP/GP summit offers open panels, keynote sessions, and matchmaking tools across a broad attendee base. This event inverts the dynamic: fund managers present and face structured questioning from selectors in small-group sessions. The number of participants is bounded (approximately 500 delegates according to available figures), the venue is residential and deliberately removed from an urban conference centre, and access is controlled on both sides. The buying side does not pay; the selling side participates under a sponsorship model. ### Is there a peer exchange track for selectors only? Peer-to-peer sessions between selectors are a confirmed component of the format. These sessions exclude fund managers and allow selectors to discuss allocation approaches, due-diligence findings, and portfolio construction questions among themselves. Specific session structure and timing within the two-day programme are not publicly detailed. ## The venue: Kempinski Palace Engelberg, Lac de Zurich area The 2026 edition is located at a Kempinski property in the Pfäffikon and Lac de Zurich area of Switzerland, within the canton of Schwyz. The Kempinski Palace Engelberg is identified in the source data as the venue reference; Pfäffikon or a lake-facing hotel complex is noted as the alternative location description, and the precise property may vary. The full address confirms an alpine resort setting rather than a city-centre conference facility. This choice of venue is not incidental. Residential summits in private capital deliberately use off-centre luxury properties to compress the social programme, remove participants from their offices, and extend the duration of meaningful interaction. When the venue is also the hotel, conversations that begin in a workshop session continue at the dinner table and at breakfast the following morning. The Lac de Zurich area places the event within reach of Zurich's financial district while maintaining the physical separation that justifies a two-day residential commitment. ## The organiser: Citywire Switzerland The organiser is identified as Citywire Switzerland, operating as the Swiss arm of Citywire, a commercial media and events publisher with a broad presence in European asset and wealth management. Citywire is known primarily as an editorial platform covering fund managers and selectors, and it has built a circuit of invitation-based events that leverage its existing relationships with the selector community. The founding year of Citywire Switzerland as a distinct legal or operational entity is not publicly documented in the available data. Citywire's event model is characteristic of a media-based operator: the editorial audience (fund selectors who read Citywire's coverage and use its fund manager ratings) becomes the delegate base for the event, and fund managers pay to access that audience in a structured format. This differs from an independent event producer or an industry association. The organiser's broader portfolio size is not confirmed in available data. --- ## Editorial take *The Private Markets & Alternatives Summit occupies a narrow and deliberate position in the Swiss private capital calendar: it is not a fundraising conference in the broad sense, but a structured selection exercise where European wealth managers interrogate alternatives fund managers across two residential days, making it one of the few EMEA events where the buying-side holds the format, not the selling-side.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Access to the Private Markets & Alternatives Summit is invitation-only, with separate conditions for the two sides of the market. Qualified fund selectors from private banks, wealth management platforms, and family offices attend on a complimentary basis, subject to an organiser review of their application. Fund managers and sponsors participate under a commercial arrangement: they pay to present to the selector cohort, but the specific rates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. Registration and application are managed through the Citywire event site at the address listed in the Resources section below. The organiser reviews LP and selector applications before confirming attendance, so early submission is advisable. No separate ticketing platform beyond the Citywire registration page is documented for this event. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does a fund selector apply to attend? Selectors apply through the Citywire registration page. The organiser reviews applications and confirms attendance for qualifying selectors from private banks, wealth management platforms, and family offices. The event is complimentary for approved selectors. The review process implies that attendance is not automatic upon form submission. ### What does participation cost for a fund manager? Fund managers participate under a sponsorship model and pay for access to the selector audience. The specific rate is not publicly disclosed for the 2026 edition. Interested fund managers should contact Citywire Switzerland directly through the event website. ### When exactly does the 2026 edition take place? Exact dates for the 2026 edition have not been published as of the verification date (4 May 2026). The event typically takes place in September. The Citywire registration page is the authoritative source for confirmed dates once they are released. ### Is the event conducted in English? Yes. English is the confirmed working language for the summit. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website / Registration | https://site.citywire.com/private-markets-europe-2026-registration | | Programme and speaker list | https://site.citywire.com/private-markets-europe-2026-registration | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data carries a completeness score of 48% (30 of 58 variables filled); exact dates, edition number, LP/GP split, AUM represented, speaker list, and organiser founding year are not publicly available as of verification.

The event is positioned as a practitioner-led gathering, with its audience drawn primarily from operating partners, CFOs, COOs, and value creation specialists rather than from institutional LP allocators. Exact founding year and edition numbering are not publicly disclosed. ## Where the Real Deals Value Creation Summit sits in the autumn calendar The summit occupies a mid-November slot on the EMEA private capital calendar, with the 2026 edition provisionally expected around 11 to 12 November, consistent with the event's established seasonal rhythm. Exact dates for 2026 had not been published as of the verification date. The autumn window places it within the dense October-to-November concentration of European private capital events, though the Sussex location and specialist operational focus distinguish it from the generalist LP-GP summits anchored in Paris and Amsterdam during the same period. A structural change affects the 2026 calendar: the Value Creation Summit now operates as a distinct UK edition, following a split from iGlobal Forum's parallel event branded under a similar name, which moved its March edition to Miami. The Sussex iteration remains the historically rooted UK gathering. ## What the audience at the Real Deals Value Creation Summit looks like The event draws a specialised operational cohort from within the private equity industry. Attendance is described in source material as invite-only, or at minimum highly selective, with open registration available through the official website. The audience is weighted toward the GP-side operational function rather than toward capital allocators. Approximate total attendance is 150 delegates. ## Who attends Real Deals Value Creation Summit - Operating partners and value creation leads at private equity firms, who are the core constituency - CFOs and COOs of private equity-backed portfolio companies, representing the operational layer targeted by GP value creation programmes - GP fund managers and deal professionals with responsibility for portfolio performance post-acquisition - Service providers and advisers specialised in operational improvement, management consulting, and performance analytics for PE-backed businesses - Placement agents are listed in the broader audience type but are secondary given the operational orientation of the programme ## What the Real Deals Value Creation Summit format includes The event is structured around a single-track or limited-track conference programme running one to two days (duration for 2026 is subject to confirmation). The documented components are: - Panel discussions on value creation strategy and execution - Portfolio company case studies presenting applied operational interventions - Structured networking sessions - A speakers programme published progressively at rdvaluecreationsummit.com/live/en/page/speakers, with 2026 additions ongoing as of verification A B2B matchmaking system with pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings has not been documented for this event. No exhibition component, stand-based format, or formal meeting app is recorded in available source material. Whether side dinners or closed roundtables accompany the main programme is not publicly disclosed. ## What the Real Deals Value Creation Summit programme covers Source material does not specify named sessions or keynote themes for 2026. The programme is oriented around operational value creation in private equity portfolios, with documented thematic anchors including: - Portfolio company performance improvement: CFO and COO-level operational levers - Value creation strategy: frameworks applied by operating partners across holding periods - Case studies from GP-backed companies presenting specific interventions and outcomes Detailed session names and stage count are not publicly disclosed as of the verification date. The speakers section at rdvaluecreationsummit.com/live/en/page/speakers is the primary source for programme specifics as the 2026 edition is progressively confirmed. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of private equity professional is the Real Deals Value Creation Summit designed for? The event is built for the operational layer of the private equity industry: operating partners, value creation directors, CFOs and COOs of portfolio companies, and GP professionals whose work centres on post-acquisition performance. It is not a fundraising conference or a capital allocation forum. The programme is organised around practitioner case studies and applied strategy rather than market outlook or LP relations. ### Who is Real Deals Value Creation Summit NOT designed for? Five profiles where the event is a poor fit: First, institutional LP allocators (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments) looking to conduct GP due diligence or build new manager relationships. The audience is overwhelmingly GP-side and operational; LP allocators are not the target constituency and structured LP-GP meetings are not documented. Second, early-stage venture capital professionals. The event centres on private equity value creation within buy-out or growth equity contexts, where portfolio company operations are the unit of analysis. Venture-stage dynamics are not covered. Third, professionals seeking high-volume B2B matchmaking. No pre-scheduled one-to-one meeting system is recorded. Those whose primary objective is meeting volume across a broad LP or GP universe should look to larger multi-format events with documented matchmaking infrastructure. Fourth, fund managers raising capital who need visibility with allocators. The audience composition (operating partners, portfolio company executives) does not provide the LP coverage relevant to a fundraising objective. Fifth, participants from outside the private equity asset class. Infrastructure, private credit, real assets, or hedge fund professionals would find limited strategic overlap with a programme built around PE portfolio company operations. ### How does the 2026 edition differ from previous years? The most significant change is organisational. The Value Creation Summit brand now operates as a split format: iGlobal Forum runs a separate edition in March in Miami (outside EMEA), while the UK edition in Sussex retains the historically established autumn slot. This bifurcation is documented in source material but the full implications for programme scope and audience size are not yet confirmed for 2026. ### How many people attend, and what is the mix? Attendance is approximately 150 delegates. A breakdown between GP professionals, portfolio company executives, and service providers is not publicly disclosed. The documented orientation is toward GP-side operational practitioners, with service providers also present. LP institutional allocators are not identified as a primary constituent. --- ## Why Sussex hosts the Real Deals Value Creation Summit The specific venue within Sussex has not been published for the 2026 edition as of the verification date. Sussex, in the south-east of England, is accessible from London and provides the residential or retreat-style setting consistent with the event's characterisation in source material as an "exclusive retreat" gathering a select group of peers. The format's emphasis on peer exchange and case-study-led sessions is well suited to smaller, focused venues outside central London, where the density of the attendee group facilitates informal exchange alongside the formal programme. Venue name and address will be confirmed through the official event website as the edition approaches. ## The organiser: Real Deals Value Creation Summit The event is operated by a commercial publisher based in the United Kingdom. The organiser's name is not publicly disclosed in available source material; the event runs under its own brand at rdvaluecreationsummit.com. The operator falls within the category of specialist financial media publishers that produce both editorial content and live events for the private capital industry, a model common in the UK market where publications such as Real Deals have historically served the mid-market private equity community. The organiser's broader portfolio of events and founding year are not documented in available source material. The organiser's country of registration is the United Kingdom. --- ## Editorial take *The Real Deals Value Creation Summit occupies a deliberately narrow position in the EMEA circuit: it is one of the few events explicitly built for the operational practitioners inside GP firms rather than for the capital-allocation conversation, and its Sussex retreat format signals that the room is more important than the stage.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is processed through the official event website at rdvaluecreationsummit.com. The event operates on an open registration model, though source material also describes the gathering as invite-only or selective in composition; the precise access condition for 2026 is not fully resolved in publicly available material. Delegate pricing for GP and operating partner attendees is not publicly disclosed on indexed pages as of the verification date. Service provider and sponsor rates are variable and also not published. Prospective attendees should contact the organiser directly through the website for pricing and eligibility confirmation ahead of the expected November 2026 window. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Where and when does the 2026 edition take place? The event is held in Sussex, United Kingdom. The 2026 dates had not been officially published as of 4 May 2026, though source material indicates the historically consistent slot falls around 11 to 12 November. The specific venue has not been disclosed. The official website at rdvaluecreationsummit.com is the primary source for confirmation as publication progresses. ### Is the event open to all applicants or is it invitation-only? The access model is documented as open registration through the official website. Source material also characterises the summit as an exclusive, selective gathering. These two descriptions are not fully reconciled in publicly available material, and prospective attendees whose profile falls outside the core GP-side operational constituency should verify eligibility directly with the organiser before registering. ### Are delegate prices available for 2026? Delegate rates for GP, operating partner, and portfolio company executive attendees are not disclosed on publicly accessible pages as of the verification date. Service provider and sponsor pricing is variable and also not published. Pricing enquiries should be directed to the organiser via rdvaluecreationsummit.com. ### Is there a structured meeting system or matchmaking component? No pre-scheduled one-to-one meeting system, matchmaking application, or advance scheduling mechanism is documented for this event. The networking component takes the form of informal sessions integrated into the conference programme. Attendees whose primary objective is structured bilateral meetings should factor this into their event selection. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.rdvaluecreationsummit.com/ | | Register | https://www.rdvaluecreationsummit.com/ | | Speakers | https://www.rdvaluecreationsummit.com/live/en/page/speakers | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from public event pages at rdvaluecreationsummit.com and organiser-side descriptive material; organiser name is not publicly disclosed; 2026 dates and venue are unconfirmed as of verification; the split from iGlobal Forum's Miami edition is documented in source material but not yet reflected in the official event website; attendance figure of approximately 150 is present in source data without an explicit self-reported qualifier or year attribution; concept definition block is not applicable as the event covers general PE operational practice rather than a specific financial instrument. **Variables:** 29/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/responsible-investment-forum-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Responsible Investment Forum Europe > *The Responsible Investment Forum Europe is a specialist conference examining PMDR adoption, decarbonisation pathways, and impact tracking for European private markets, drawing approximately 500 attendees from institutional investors, private capital managers, and ESG advisory professionals.

The forum focuses on the practical implementation challenges of responsible investment frameworks in private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets. The programme is technically oriented toward practitioners managing ESG integration in private market portfolios: reporting frameworks, portfolio company engagement, carbon accounting methodologies, and the evolving regulatory requirements under SFDR and the EU Taxonomy. For fund managers navigating LP expectations on sustainability while managing the operational realities of private company engagement, the Forum provides substantive peer content rather than aspirational positioning. London anchors the event as the centre of the European responsible investment practitioner community. The 500-person scale maintains the depth of technical exchange that a specialist forum requires: attendees are operational ESG professionals and portfolio managers rather than the broader sustainability communications audience that populates larger ESG events. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/ri-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # RI Europe > *A two-day annual conference gathering fund managers, institutional investors, and industry professionals in London each June to examine responsible investment practice, strategy, and capital allocation across private markets, now in its 19th edition.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2–3 June 2026** | **Convene 22 Bishopsgate** | **PEI Group** | **600+** | | 2 days, Tuesday–Wednesday | London, United Kingdom | United Kingdom | delegates (self-reported by organiser) | --- ## Definition RI Europe is the annual responsible investment conference produced by PEI Group, bringing together fund managers, institutional asset owners, placement agents, and service providers to examine how environmental, social, and governance considerations are applied across private capital strategies. The event runs over two days in London and is now in its 19th consecutive annual edition. It sits within the spring cluster of the EMEA private capital circuit, convening each June at a central London venue. ## The 2026 edition: 2–3 June at Convene 22 Bishopsgate The 2026 edition takes place on 2 and 3 June at Convene 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London. It marks the 19th annual instalment of the conference. The programme is in construction as of the verification date: partial speaker names confirmed on the official site include Lucy Fitzgeorge-Parker, Robert Campbell, Katharina Lindmeier, Carlota Garcia-Manas, Candice Coppere, and Julia Haake, though full roles, affiliations, and a complete speaker roster are not yet published. No edition theme has been announced. ## Where RI Europe sits in the spring calendar RI Europe occupies the early-June slot in the EMEA spring conference season, which runs from March through June and clusters strategy-specific events before the summer recess. Its London base and responsible investment focus distinguish it from the generalist LP and GP gatherings that dominate the autumn calendar in Paris and Amsterdam. For practitioners whose mandates include ESG integration or impact allocation across private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets, the June timing aligns with mid-year portfolio review cycles and LP reporting periods. ## Who attends RI Europe - Institutional asset owners (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and family offices) attending as investors and allocators - Fund managers across private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets with a responsible investment or ESG integration mandate - Placement agents advising on fund distribution and investor relations - Service providers including advisers, consultants, law firms, and data and ratings providers active in the responsible investment space - Journalists and researchers accredited through PEI Group's media programme (access conditions apply separately) ## What the RI Europe format includes - Expert panels covering responsible investment strategy, regulation, and practice across private capital - Structured networking sessions designed to facilitate targeted introductions between investors and managers - Curated workshops offering smaller-group technical discussion - Closed-door breakfasts for senior-level conversations in a restricted setting - Evening receptions extending networking beyond the formal programme The full session schedule, stage count, and confirmed workshop topics for the 2026 edition are not publicly available as of the verification date. The programme appears to be in active construction. ## How the RI Europe meeting system works Access to structured networking at RI Europe operates through an application process rather than open registration. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before a complimentary pass is confirmed, which filters for qualified institutional asset owners and allows the organiser to manage the LP-to-GP composition in the meeting room. Advance scheduling is supported, enabling participants to plan bilateral conversations before arriving in London. Curated workshops and closed-door breakfasts function as smaller, invitation-managed formats within the broader event, offering participants higher-density conversation with a more selective group. Evening receptions extend available meeting time beyond formal session hours. ## What the RI Europe programme covers The programme centres on responsible investment as it applies to private capital, with finance and private capital as the documented thematic anchors. Specific session titles and sub-themes for the 2026 edition are not published as of verification. The partial speaker list available on the official site points to panel formats as the primary content vehicle. Based on the documented format components, the programme is expected to cover regulatory developments affecting ESG disclosure and reporting in private markets, LP due diligence practices around ESG integration, manager-level implementation approaches across asset classes, and the intersection of impact strategy with return expectations, though confirmed session-level detail is not available. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is RI Europe and who is it designed for? RI Europe is a two-day annual conference produced by PEI Group focused on responsible investment across private capital markets. It targets institutional asset owners, private capital fund managers with ESG or impact mandates, placement agents, and specialist service providers. Now in its 19th edition, it is one of the longest-running events of its kind in Europe dedicated to this specific intersection of private markets and responsible investment. ### When does attending RI Europe not make sense? Five cases where the event is a poor fit. First, managers running conventional buy-and-build private equity strategies with no ESG integration programme or investor pressure on responsible investment reporting: the content and peer group will not reflect their operating reality. Second, LPs whose allocation mandate is entirely liquid or public markets: the private capital framing applies throughout. Third, participants from outside Europe whose GP and LP relationships are concentrated in North America or Asia-Pacific and for whom London-based networking does not generate pipeline. Fourth, fund managers at very early formation stage (pre-first close, sub-institutional scale) who are not yet in active dialogue with the institutional LP community the event gathers. Fifth, individuals seeking a passive conference experience: the format prioritises structured interaction, and the access model involves an application review, so the event is built around meeting intensity rather than spectator attendance. ### How large is the event? The organiser reports 600 or more delegates. Figures on LP and GP composition, the share of institutional asset owners in total attendance, and AUM represented are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ### Is RI Europe invitation-only? The event is not invitation-only in the conventional sense, but it operates on an application model. Institutional asset owners (LPs) apply for a complimentary pass that is reviewed by the organiser before confirmation. Other delegate categories access the event through registration on the PEI Group site, with pricing not publicly disclosed for standard delegate passes. Discounted rates are available for specific categories including NGOs, academics, Responsible Investor subscribers, and organisations with fewer than 20 employees. --- ## The venue: Convene 22 Bishopsgate Convene 22 Bishopsgate is a dedicated event and meeting facility located within 22 Bishopsgate, one of the tallest towers in the City of London, positioned in the EC2 financial district between Liverpool Street and Bank stations. The building serves as a major multi-tenant office tower and hosts Convene's conference centre on its upper floors, giving the event access to high-capacity meeting rooms and breakout spaces with views across the London skyline. The City location places delegates within walking distance of a high concentration of asset management, private equity, and institutional investor offices, which is practically relevant for side meetings and for participants combining conference attendance with separate bilateral engagements in London. ## The organiser: PEI Group PEI Group is a commercial publisher and events operator based in the United Kingdom, active in private capital markets across private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real assets, and responsible investment. The group publishes data, analysis, and news products alongside its events portfolio, with the events business operating under the PEI Events brand. RI Europe sits within PEI's responsible investment vertical, which also supports the Responsible Investor editorial brand. The founding year of PEI Group and the full size of its event portfolio are not disclosed in available data. As a commercial publisher operating at the intersection of media and events, PEI Group's model combines content production with convening, a structure that shapes how the RI Europe programme is assembled and how the speaker and delegate communities are sourced. --- ## Editorial take *RI Europe's application-reviewed LP access model and its 19-year run make it a measurable fixture for private capital practitioners whose investor relations or portfolio management work is shaped by responsible investment mandates, at a moment when ESG disclosure pressure and LP scrutiny on non-financial reporting have moved from optional to operational across the asset class.* ## How to register and what it costs Institutional asset owners qualify for a complimentary pass upon application, which is reviewed by the organiser before confirmation. Discounted rates are available for NGOs, academics, Responsible Investor subscribers, and organisations with fewer than 20 employees. Standard delegate pricing for other attendee categories is not publicly disclosed as of the verification date. Registration and pass applications are processed through the official PEI Group event page. Sponsor and exhibition pricing is not publicly available. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do LPs register for RI Europe? Asset owners applying for a complimentary LP pass submit an application through the PEI Group event site. Applications are reviewed by the organiser, and confirmation is not automatic. The process filters for qualifying institutional profiles, consistent with the event's structured meeting model. Non-qualifying or commercial entities are directed to standard delegate registration. ### Where does the event take place and how accessible is the venue? The 2026 edition is held at Convene 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London. The venue is accessible from Liverpool Street station (Elizabeth line, Central line, Overground), Bank station (Central line, Northern line, Waterloo and City line), and Moorgate station. Multiple hotels serving conference delegates are within walking distance. No shuttle or accommodation block arrangement is documented in available data. ### Are there discounted passes available? Discounted rates are documented for four specific categories: NGOs, academics, Responsible Investor subscribers, and small businesses with fewer than 20 employees. The size of the discount and the application process for these categories are not publicly disclosed. All other pricing details for the 2026 edition are not available as of verification. ### When will the full programme be published? As of 6 May 2026, the programme for the 2026 edition is in active construction. The official site lists partial speaker names within session descriptions but does not publish a complete speaker roster, session schedule, or confirmed workshop topics. Prospective attendees should monitor the official site at peievents.com for updates. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/ri-europe/ | | Register / apply for pass | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/ri-europe/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** Data sourced from the official PEI Group event page; the 2026 programme is partially constructed as of verification, speaker roster is incomplete, and all attendance and pricing figures beyond the 600-delegate headline are not publicly available; Key Stats block omitted due to absence of multi-variable quantitative data; Concept definition block not applicable on this event. **Variables:** 36/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/sbai-middle-east-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # SBAI Middle East Forum > *The SBAI Middle East Forum is organised by the Standards Board for Alternative Investments in Abu Dhabi, drawing approximately 200 alternative investment professionals from across the Gulf region and internationally.

The SBAI, formerly the Hedge Fund Standards Board, has expanded its remit to cover alternative investments broadly, and the Forum reflects this evolution toward a cross-asset class approach. The Forum's positioning around standards and governance distinguishes it from purely commercial conferences: the SBAI's mission is to promote best practices in alternative investment management, and the event combines substantive governance and risk management content with the relationship development that characterises the Gulf's institutional investment circuit. For institutional allocators active in alternatives, the SBAI framework provides a quality signal and a shared vocabulary. Abu Dhabi's emergence as a serious institutional alternative investment hub, supported by ADIA's scale and sophistication and the development of the Abu Dhabi Global Market regulatory framework, gives the Forum a natural home. The event sits within the broader infrastructure of institutional governance standards that Gulf sovereign and institutional investors increasingly require of their manager relationships. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/slush.md # Last verified: 2026-05-08 # SLUSH > *Two-day annual gathering in Helsinki bringing together startups, venture capital investors, and growth-stage entrepreneurs for AI-powered 1:1 matchmaking, keynotes, and side events, with 12,000 attendees across the Nordic startup circuit's defining autumn fixture.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **18–19 November 2026** | **Messukeskus** | **Slush** | **12,000** | | 2 days, Wednesday to Thursday | Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, Helsinki, Finland | Finland | participants (self-reported) | --- ## Definition Slush is an annual two-day event held at Messukeskus in Helsinki, convening startup founders, venture capital investors, and technology industry figures for structured 1:1 meetings, keynotes, and side programming. Now in its 19th edition, it is the dominant startup-investor gathering in Northern Europe, organised by Slush, a Finnish commercial operator. The event sits at the intersection of early-stage financing, growth capital, and technology innovation, drawing attendees under an application-based access model. ## The 2026 edition: 18–19 November in Helsinki Slush 2026 runs on 18 and 19 November at Messukeskus, the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. The 19th edition does not carry a disclosed thematic focus as of verification; the organiser has indicated that the programme agenda and confirmed speaker announcements for 2026 will be published in autumn 2026. One speaker is confirmed at the time of this fiche. Attendees planning travel or applications should monitor the official site for updates as the event approaches. ## Where Slush sits in the autumn private capital calendar November places Slush at the tail end of the EMEA private capital circuit's dense autumn concentration, which runs from September through November and anchors itself in Paris and Amsterdam for institutional LP-GP forums. Slush occupies a distinct register within that period: rather than a fundraising summit for large fund managers and institutional allocators, it functions as the primary structured encounter point between venture-backed founders and early to growth-stage investors operating across Northern Europe and beyond. Its timing, two weeks before most year-end closing activity accelerates, positions it as a final high-volume meeting opportunity for venture capital relationships before December quiets the circuit. ## What separates Slush from institutional LP-GP summits Slush is founder-centric in design, not allocator-centric. The structured meeting infrastructure is built around startup-investor pairs, not LP due diligence on fund managers. This distinguishes it from events such as IPEM Global or SuperReturn Europe, which serve institutional capital allocators evaluating fund strategies. At Slush, the capital formation axis runs between venture investors and portfolio-seeking founders, with networking density rather than closed-room institutional negotiation as the primary mechanism. The AI-powered matching tool and Investor Office Hours format reflect an event architecture optimised for volume and speed of initial contact, not for the extended relationship cycles of buyout or private credit fundraising. ## Who attends Slush - **Startup founders and founding teams**, primarily at seed, Series A, and growth stages, who attend through an application and review process. - **Venture capital fund managers** (GPs), including solo GPs and angel investors, attending under an investor ticket category subject to application review. - **Ecosystem participants**, including accelerators, corporate venture arms, technology companies, and service providers attached to the startup and VC community. - **Journalists and media**, covering technology, innovation, and venture capital across European and international outlets. - **Policy figures and government representatives**, present informally as observers of the Northern European technology scene, though no formal governmental endorsement is recorded for this edition. ## What the Slush format includes - **AI-powered 1:1 matchmaking**, the event's central structured mechanism, pairing founders with investors based on algorithmic compatibility assessment before and during the event. - **Investor Office Hours**, 75-minute structured sessions in which investors make themselves available for back-to-back meetings with a higher degree of scheduling predictability. - **Keynote and main stage programming**, featuring speakers drawn from the venture, technology, and startup world (programme and confirmed speakers for 2026 to be announced in autumn 2026). - **Roundtable sessions**, smaller-format discussions on specific topics within the financing and innovation agenda. - **Side events**, organised by participants, sponsors, and the Slush platform itself, running adjacent to the main programme. - **Slush Afterparty**, a large-format social event extending the networking volume beyond the formal two-day programme. The number of stages, the specific session schedule, and the full speaker list for 2026 are not publicly available as of verification. The organiser's site displays the 2025 speaker roster; 2026 confirmations will follow in autumn 2026. ## How the Slush meeting system works The core of the Slush format is its AI-powered matching tool, which processes attendee profiles submitted through the Slush Platform and generates compatibility scores between founders and investors. Participants must hold an active company profile on the Slush Platform to access the matching system; this profile requirement applies to all ticket categories including the Ecosystem pass. Advance scheduling is built into the process: the organiser reviews investor applications before granting access, meaning the investor pool is curated rather than open to self-registration. Investor Office Hours extend the meeting infrastructure by creating 75-minute blocks in which a single investor receives a sequence of short meetings with pre-selected founders. This format compresses volume while allowing investors to maintain conversational depth within each slot. Side events and the Slush Afterparty add informal layers to the meeting cadence, allowing follow-up conversations outside the structured slots. No dedicated networking application name is publicly disclosed for 2026. ## What the Slush programme covers The substantive agenda at Slush concentrates on the following areas: - **Venture capital and startup financing**, including seed rounds, Series A and B dynamics, and growth-stage capital access. - **Technology and innovation**, with generalist coverage across software, deep tech, climate tech, and adjacent sectors, not limited to any single vertical. - **Investor relations and fundraising mechanics**, addressed from both the founder side (how to approach investors) and the investor side (portfolio construction, deal sourcing in Northern Europe). - **Networking and community**, treated as a programmatic pillar rather than a side effect, with the structured meeting tools, roundtables, and afterparty all serving that function explicitly. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is Slush, and who is it primarily designed for? Slush is a founder-facing startup and venture capital event, now in its 19th annual edition, held each November in Helsinki. Its primary constituency is startup founders seeking investor introductions and venture capital managers sourcing early to growth-stage deals. The structured meeting system, built around an AI-powered matching tool, is calibrated for high-volume initial contact between those two populations rather than for the extended due diligence processes associated with institutional fund investing. ### How large is the event, and who makes up the attendee base? The 2026 edition targets an attendance of 12,000 participants, according to the organiser's published figures. Narrative from the organiser references more than 3,200 startups and more than 2,300 investors in prior editions, though a breakdown of LP and GP participation by category is not disclosed for 2026 specifically. The audience spans founders, venture investors, ecosystem participants (accelerators, corporates, service providers), and media. ### Who is Slush NOT designed for? Slush is a poor fit in at least five identifiable cases. First, institutional LP allocators (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies) seeking GP fund manager meetings will find no meaningful counterpart population; the event is not structured around fund-level due diligence conversations. Second, buyout, private credit, or infrastructure fund managers raising institutional capital have limited audience overlap with a predominantly early-stage founder and venture investor crowd. Third, attendees seeking a passive conference experience will find the format demanding: the meeting system requires advance application, profile setup, and active scheduling to extract value. Fourth, professionals at organisations without an active company profile on the Slush Platform cannot access the matchmaking system, making the event's core mechanism unavailable to them. Fifth, investors focused exclusively on late-stage or listed equity may find the startup-centric composition and energy of the event misaligned with their deal criteria. ### Is Slush specific to Northern Europe, or does it draw an international audience? Slush draws international participants; the event describes itself as a global gathering. The percentage of international attendees is not disclosed in publicly available figures as of verification. The event is held in Helsinki and is deeply associated with the Nordic and Baltic startup ecosystems, though the investor and founder bases extend beyond that geography. --- ## The venue: Messukeskus (Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre) Messukeskus is Helsinki's principal exhibition and convention facility, located in the Pasila district approximately 3 kilometres north of the city centre and directly served by local rail and metro connections. The building is a large-format expo centre designed to accommodate trade fairs, congresses, and mass participation events, and its floor area allows Slush to run its matchmaking zones, main stage programming, and networking areas in parallel without spatial compression. The venue's infrastructure includes configurable halls suited to the roundtable and Office Hours formats that form the structured meeting backbone of the event. For side events and the Slush Afterparty, participants typically disperse across central Helsinki, a compact city with a dense concentration of hotels, restaurants, and event spaces within walking distance or a short metro ride from Messukeskus. The city's scale, relatively small compared with Paris, Amsterdam, or London, concentrates the informal post-agenda activity and compresses the social radius, which amplifies the networking density outside the formal programme. ## The organiser: Slush Slush is a Finnish commercial operator that produces the event of the same name and manages the Slush Platform, the digital infrastructure through which attendees register, build profiles, and access the matching system. The founding year of the organisation is not publicly disclosed in available sources. The organiser's portfolio size, in terms of additional events or affiliate products beyond the flagship Helsinki event, is not documented in public-facing materials as of verification. Slush operates as a commercial publisher, distinct from industry associations or academic bodies, and has built its model around the combination of a curated application process and technology-driven matchmaking. The website at slush.org serves as the sole public-facing registration and information channel. --- ## Editorial take *Slush occupies a position in the European event circuit that no institutional LP-GP summit replicates: a high-volume, founder-forward gathering where the meeting infrastructure is the product, AI matching is the mechanism, and Helsinki in November is the annual point of convergence for venture capital and the startups it funds across Northern Europe and beyond.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Attendance at Slush requires an application process rather than open-ticket purchase for most categories. Startup delegates pay 395 EUR (345 EUR at early bird or pre-registration rate) and must complete an application reviewed by the organiser. Investor delegates, including solo GPs and angel investors, pay 1,195 EUR (1,095 EUR at early bird rate, with a 100 EUR discount available for solo GPs and angel investors), also subject to application review. The Ecosystem ticket, priced at 1,195 EUR and available to all without an application review, requires the purchaser to hold an active company profile on the Slush Platform. A Thursday-only ticket exists as a fourth category; its price is not publicly disclosed. All registration is handled through the official website at slush.org. Sponsor and exhibitor rates are not documented in publicly available materials as of verification. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the application process work, and who reviews it? Startup and investor applicants submit profiles through the Slush Platform; the organiser reviews investor applications before granting access. This curation mechanism is designed to maintain a qualified investor pool. Ecosystem tickets bypass the application review but still require an active company profile on the Slush Platform. The Thursday-only ticket is available to purchase but carries no disclosed price as of verification. ### Is the pricing the same regardless of when you register? No. Early bird or pre-registration rates are available for both the Startup ticket (345 EUR versus the standard 395 EUR) and the Investor ticket (1,095 EUR versus the standard 1,195 EUR). The Ecosystem ticket pricing is listed at 1,195 EUR without a disclosed early bird variant. Prospective attendees should confirm current rate windows directly on slush.org, as deadlines are not specified in publicly available materials as of this fiche. ### When will the 2026 programme and speaker list be published? The organiser has indicated that the 2026 programme agenda and speaker confirmations will be published in autumn 2026. The official site currently displays the 2025 speaker roster. One speaker is confirmed for 2026 at the time of verification. Attendees requiring programme details before committing should monitor slush.org for updates. ### What is the Slush Platform, and why does it matter for access? The Slush Platform is the organiser's proprietary digital environment through which attendees create company profiles, access the AI-powered matching tool, and schedule 1:1 meetings. Holding an active company profile on the Platform is a prerequisite for the Ecosystem ticket category and for the matchmaking system that forms the event's core value proposition. Delegates who do not establish a profile before attending will be unable to use the structured meeting infrastructure during the event. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://slush.org/ | | Register | https://slush.org/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-08 **Next review:** 2026-06-07 **Notes:** Data sourced from slush.org (official site) and organiser-published materials.

It convenes CFOs, COOs, and their equivalents from mid-market and large PE firms across Europe, with a GP-side dominant audience. The event sits within the SuperReturn brand family and addresses the back-office and operational infrastructure of alternative asset management rather than the investment strategies themselves. ## When and where the 2026 edition takes place The 2026 edition is scheduled in Amsterdam, at Hotel Okura. Precise start and end dates have not been publicly disclosed as of verification. The three-day duration is confirmed by the organiser's published format description. No edition number or thematic title for the 2026 edition has been announced publicly. ## Where SuperReturn CFO/COO sits in the EMEA private capital calendar SuperReturn CFO/COO occupies a distinct position in the EMEA circuit: it is one of the few events on the calendar structured entirely around operational and functional leadership rather than investment strategy or fundraising. While the main SuperReturn Europe conference in Berlin draws GPs and LPs into capital formation conversations, the CFO/COO event addresses the professionals who run the infrastructure supporting those transactions. Its Amsterdam location places it within the Netherlands cluster, accessible from the major Western European financial centres. ## What separates SuperReturn CFO/COO from generalist private capital summits Most events on the EMEA private capital circuit mix investment professionals, investor relations teams, and institutional allocators in a shared programme. SuperReturn CFO/COO narrows the audience to a single function: the operational, financial, and compliance leadership of PE firms. The programme structure reflects this: parallel streams on regulation, tax, compliance, data, and technology run concurrently, allowing attendees to self-select by functional priority rather than by strategy or asset class. The format is described in organiser materials as favouring peer exchange among a relatively intimate group of senior professionals. ## Who attends SuperReturn CFO/COO - CFOs of private equity firms, including mid-market and large-cap managers. - COOs responsible for fund operations, portfolio monitoring, and firm-level infrastructure. - CCOs (Chief Compliance Officers) managing regulatory obligations and reporting frameworks. - CROs (Chief Risk Officers) overseeing risk frameworks across fund structures. - CTOs and heads of technology managing data, digital transformation, and AI adoption. - Senior professionals from placement agents and service providers active in PE operations. - Confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition include representatives from Lightrock, Nordic Capital, Old Mutual Alternative Investment, Pantheon, Patria Investments, Permira, and Stafford Capital Partners. ## What the SuperReturn CFO/COO format includes - Three-day conference with multiple concurrent thematic streams. - A regulatory and compliance track covering evolving obligations for PE fund managers. - A tax stream addressing cross-border structuring, BEPS-related changes, and fund-level tax matters. - A data, technology, and AI summit addressing operational modernisation and digital infrastructure. - Networking lunches structured into the daily agenda. - Evening receptions for peer-level exchange outside the formal programme. Specific session names, stage count, and any invitation-only or closed formats beyond what is listed above are not documented in publicly available materials as of verification. Speaker count stands at approximately 167 for the 2026 edition, according to organiser-published data. ## How networking is structured at SuperReturn CFO/COO The conference does not document a pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking system or an official networking app in publicly available materials. Peer exchange is structured through the format itself: concurrent streams allow functional groups to convene separately, while shared lunches and evening receptions create cross-stream contact. The relatively concentrated attendance figure (400+ delegates across a three-day programme) supports a density of interaction that broader generalist summits do not replicate at the same functional specificity. No advance scheduling mechanism is publicly confirmed. ## What the SuperReturn CFO/COO programme covers The 2026 programme is built around five thematic areas spanning the operational and functional responsibilities of PE firm leadership: - Regulatory developments affecting alternative asset managers, including AIFMD updates and reporting obligations. - Tax strategy and cross-border structuring for fund and portfolio structures. - Compliance management, including AML, ESG-related obligations, and investor-facing reporting. - Data governance, management information systems, and operational data architecture. - Technology adoption and AI applications across fund administration, portfolio monitoring, and investor relations. A complete published programme, including session-level detail and confirmed speakers per stream, is available on the organiser's website at the address listed in the Resources block below. ## SuperReturn CFO/COO 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser.* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total delegates | 400+ | | Senior PE finance, ops, compliance, risk, and tech professionals | 500+ | | CFOs, COOs, CCOs, CROs, and CTOs | 230+ | | Approximate speaker count | ~167 | | Duration | 3 days | | Dominant audience segment | GP-side (fund managers) | AUM represented, LP count, exhibitor count, international visitor share, and historical attendance trends are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is SuperReturn CFO/COO and who is it designed for? SuperReturn CFO/COO is a three-day conference focused exclusively on the operational and functional leadership of private equity firms. It is designed for CFOs, COOs, CCOs, CROs, and CTOs who manage the infrastructure, compliance, technology, and financial reporting of PE fund managers. The audience is GP-side dominant: institutional allocators (LPs) are not a primary target audience. ### Who should not attend SuperReturn CFO/COO? The event is a poor fit in five specific situations. First, for institutional allocators (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices) seeking fundraising meetings or access to managers: the event is oriented toward operational professionals, not capital allocation conversations. Second, for investment professionals within PE firms (deal teams, portfolio managers, heads of investor relations) whose responsibilities do not span fund operations or back-office leadership: the programme does not address investment strategy or deal sourcing. Third, for emerging managers running lean operations at fund sizes below roughly EUR 500 million, where dedicated CFO/COO functions are rarely separated from the founding team: the peer group assumes a certain organisational scale and role specialisation. Fourth, for service providers seeking exhibition floor access or structured lead generation: no exhibition component or formal matchmaking system is documented, and the format prioritises peer exchange over vendor-client introductions. Fifth, for attendees from outside Europe whose regulatory and tax context differs materially from the EMEA frameworks that dominate the programme streams. ### Which firms send delegates to SuperReturn CFO/COO? Confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition come from Lightrock, Nordic Capital, Old Mutual Alternative Investment, Pantheon, Patria Investments, Permira, and Stafford Capital Partners. The broader delegate base includes senior finance and operations professionals from mid-market and large-cap PE managers active in Europe. The precise delegate list is not published in advance. ### How does SuperReturn CFO/COO relate to the broader SuperReturn family of events? SuperReturn is a brand operated by Informa Connect that spans multiple annual events across the private capital circuit, including the flagship SuperReturn Europe in Berlin and several strategy and audience-specific summits. SuperReturn CFO/COO is the operational and functional counterpart to the investor-facing events in the portfolio: it addresses the same firms but from the back-office perspective rather than the fundraising or investment perspective. --- ## The venue: Hotel Okura Hotel Okura Amsterdam is a five-star hotel situated on the southern edge of the city centre, in the Pijp district. The property combines a Japanese heritage in its design and hospitality approach with conference infrastructure capable of hosting multi-stream events across dedicated ballroom and breakout spaces. Its position south of the Rijksmuseum places it accessible from Schiphol Airport by direct tram, and within walking or short taxi distance of the main hotel cluster used by institutional finance delegations visiting Amsterdam. Evening receptions can be extended to the hotel's own facilities, keeping the networking programme on-site. --- ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is the events and digital services division of Informa plc, a publicly listed business intelligence and events group. It operates the SuperReturn brand as a portfolio of private capital events spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The SuperReturn series is one of the most widely recognised event brands in the institutional private equity circuit, with the flagship Berlin conference drawing GP and LP communities from across the globe. Informa Connect operates as a commercial publisher and event producer rather than an industry association: its events are open-registration commercial conferences rather than member-exclusive gatherings. The organiser's country of registration for this event is the Netherlands. City of registration and founding year are not publicly documented for this specific entity. --- ## Editorial take *SuperReturn CFO/COO fills a genuine gap in the EMEA circuit: it is one of the rare gatherings structured entirely around the professionals who run private equity firms rather than those who invest through them, making it a functional peer network rather than a capital formation venue.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration for SuperReturn CFO/COO is open to qualifying delegates through the organiser's website. The event operates an open-access model: attendance is not invitation-only, and no pre-qualification of LP or GP status is enforced at the point of registration. Pricing is tiered by delegate type. GP delegates (CFOs, COOs, and equivalent) and service providers are subject to different rate structures; indicative market benchmarks for the SuperReturn series place standard delegate rates in the range of GBP 3,500 to GBP 5,000, with service provider rates higher, but specific 2026 pricing has not been publicly disclosed as of verification. Delegate and sponsor rates for the 2026 edition should be confirmed directly via the organiser's website. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is SuperReturn CFO/COO invitation-only or open registration? The event operates an open-access model. Delegates register through the organiser's website without a prior invitation or institutional pre-qualification requirement. Tiered pricing applies based on delegate type (GP-side professionals versus service providers). ### What are the delegate rates for the 2026 edition? Specific delegate pricing for 2026 has not been publicly disclosed as of verification. The SuperReturn series has historically priced standard delegate passes in the GBP 3,500 to GBP 5,000 range, with service provider rates above that band, but these figures are not confirmed for this edition and should not be used as a booking basis. Pricing should be confirmed directly with the organiser via the official website. ### What are the exact dates of the 2026 edition? Start and end dates for the 2026 edition have not been published as of the verification date of this fiche. The three-day duration and Amsterdam location are confirmed. Readers should consult the organiser's website for date announcements as the edition schedule is released. ### Is there an official networking app or pre-scheduled meeting system? No official networking app or pre-scheduled B2B matchmaking system is documented in publicly available organiser materials for this event. Structured networking takes place through the format's built-in components: concurrent thematic streams, shared lunches, and evening receptions. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-cfo-coo/ | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-cfo-coo/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data completeness is 47% (29/58 variables populated).

The event is held each autumn in Amsterdam and functions as one of the principal gathering points on the EMEA private capital circuit for senior practitioners across buyout, venture capital, private debt, and infrastructure. A founding year is not publicly disclosed. ## The 2026 edition: 3–6 November in Amsterdam SuperReturn Europe 2026 runs from Tuesday 3 November to Friday 6 November at the Hotel Okura, Amsterdam. No headline theme for the 2026 edition has been published as of verification. The four-day structure carries both the main conference programme and a set of specialist summits running in parallel, covering mid-market, private debt, and secondaries strategies. ## Where SuperReturn Europe sits in the EMEA autumn calendar The autumn cluster between September and November is the densest stretch of the EMEA private capital circuit, with Paris, London, and Amsterdam serving as the primary anchor cities. SuperReturn Europe occupies the early-November slot in Amsterdam, placing it at the tail end of that concentration, after the bulk of the Paris-based events and broadly concurrent with the final wave of year-end fundraising conversations. For European GPs and their LP counterparts, the timing aligns with Q4 portfolio reviews and the closing stages of active fund cycles. ## What separates SuperReturn Europe from generalist LP–GP summits Scale and attendee seniority are the variables that most distinguish SuperReturn Europe within the circuit. The 1,500-plus headcount, combined with a documented presence of more than 200 senior LPs and GPs drawn from institutions including Adams Street Partners, British Business Bank, EQT, the European Investment Fund, Generali Asset Management, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, LGPS Central, Pantheon, The Riverside Company, Tikehau Capital, and Triton Partners, positions the event above the typical mid-sized strategy-specific forum. The specialist summits on mid-market, private debt, and secondaries create sub-tracks within the main event, allowing practitioners with defined strategy mandates to engage at that level without attending a separate conference. ## Who attends SuperReturn Europe - **Institutional limited partners:** pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, funds of funds, endowments, and family offices, with confirmed presence from institutions such as the European Investment Fund, LGPS Central, British Business Bank, and Generali Asset Management. - **General partners:** buyout, venture capital, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets fund managers, including large-cap and mid-market firms; confirmed participants include EQT, Triton Partners, The Riverside Company, Pantheon, and Tikehau Capital. - **Placement agents:** intermediaries facilitating LP–GP introductions and fund distribution. - **Service providers:** legal counsel, fund administrators, auditors, prime brokers, technology vendors, and other advisers to the private capital industry. - **Investor relations professionals:** the investor relations function is a documented sector of coverage, drawing dedicated practitioners from GP platforms. ## What the SuperReturn Europe format includes - **Main conference:** four days of plenary sessions, panel discussions, and keynote addresses covering European private equity, venture capital, and private debt. - **Specialist summits:** dedicated tracks on mid-market, private debt, and secondaries, running alongside the main programme. - **1:1 meetings:** structured bilateral meeting programme between LPs and GPs. - **Networking dinners:** organised evening events extending the meeting volume beyond conference hours. The number of stages, the full session schedule, and any additional special formats not listed above are not publicly documented as of verification. ## How the SuperReturn Europe meeting system works The core of SuperReturn Europe's value for both LPs and GPs sits in the 1:1 meeting programme rather than the content sessions. The event operates a structured bilateral meeting system allowing participants to schedule direct conversations in advance of and during the conference. Qualified institutional LPs attend on a complimentary basis through an application process managed by Informa Connect, which allows the organiser to control LP composition and sustain the meeting quality that draws GP participants. Networking dinners extend the interaction window into the evenings, creating informal touchpoints around the structured meeting log. No specific matchmaking application or advance scheduling platform is named in publicly available materials as of verification. ## What the SuperReturn Europe programme covers No formal session titles or confirmed programme themes for the 2026 edition have been published as of verification. The documented areas of coverage, drawn from the event's stated scope, include: - European buyout trends and deal flow - Venture capital strategy and portfolio management - Private debt and direct lending - Secondaries and GP-led transactions - Mid-market investment dynamics - Investor relations practice across GP platforms ## SuperReturn Europe 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser.* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total attendees | 1,500+ | | Limited partners | 500+ | | General partners | 750+ | | Countries represented | 50+ | | Primary LP/GP hubs | UK, Germany, France, Switzerland | | Emerging delegations | Poland, Baltic states | --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of event is SuperReturn Europe, and is it a conference or a deal summit? SuperReturn Europe is structured as a conference with an integrated meeting programme, not a standalone deal summit. The content agenda (panels, plenaries, specialist summits) runs in parallel with the 1:1 bilateral meetings and networking dinners. For most senior attendees, the meeting programme is the primary reason to attend; the content sessions provide shared context and a scheduling anchor for conversations that would otherwise require separate bilateral arrangements. ### Who is SuperReturn Europe NOT designed for? Five categories of practitioner are likely to find the event a poor fit. First, emerging managers raising sub-institutional funds below the typical LP minimum commitment threshold: the LP base skews toward large institutional allocators whose minimum check sizes exceed what most sub-€200 million funds can absorb. Second, strategy specialists whose mandate sits entirely outside buyout, private debt, mid-market, or secondaries: the programme breadth is a strength for generalists but dilutes relevance for practitioners with very narrow remits. Third, participants seeking a passive conference experience: the meeting system creates obligation density; attending without engaging the 1:1 programme means paying for access at GP delegate rates while forgoing the primary value driver. Fourth, service providers with no active GP or LP client relationships in Europe: the attendee base is senior and relationship-driven, and the networking model rewards existing network depth more than cold outreach. Fifth, practitioners based exclusively in North American or Asian markets with no current or prospective European mandate: while 50-plus countries are represented, the content and LP base are specifically calibrated to the European private capital cycle. ### Which institutions have been publicly confirmed as participants? Among the institutions named in connection with SuperReturn Europe, confirmed participant organisations include Adams Street Partners, British Business Bank, EQT, the European Investment Fund, Generali Asset Management, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, LGPS Central, Pantheon, The Riverside Company, Tikehau Capital, and Triton Partners. This list is not exhaustive and reflects publicly available information as of verification. ### Is SuperReturn Europe relevant only to European GPs and LPs? The geographic reach extends well beyond Europe: the organiser reports attendees from more than 50 countries, with established delegations from the UK, Germany, France, and Switzerland and growing participation from Poland and the Baltic states. The programme content, however, centres on European private equity and debt markets. GPs with exclusively domestic non-European mandates and LPs without a European allocation programme will find limited strategic alignment. --- ## The venue: Hotel Okura, Amsterdam The Hotel Okura Amsterdam is a five-star hotel and conference venue on the Ferdinand Bolstraat in the De Pijp neighbourhood, south of the city centre. The building has hosted large-scale financial and corporate conferences across its convention facilities for several decades and provides the room volume required for simultaneous tracks: a main conference hall, breakout spaces for specialist summits, and private meeting rooms for the 1:1 programme. De Pijp is accessible from Amsterdam Centraal by public transport in under 15 minutes and sits close to the Museumplein hotels, which typically absorb the overflow accommodation for events of this scale. The venue's in-house dining facilities and private event spaces support the evening networking dinners that extend the meeting programme after formal sessions close. ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is the events and specialist content division of Informa PLC, operating under the Netherlands as its registered territory for this event. As a commercial publisher and events operator, Informa Connect runs a broad portfolio of professional conferences across financial services, life sciences, and other verticals. The SuperReturn brand is one of the longest-established franchises within the private equity events market, with events covering multiple geographies and sub-strategies under the same brand umbrella. Informa Connect's model as a commercial publisher distinguishes it from association-led event operators: attendance and sponsorship revenue drive the business, and the complimentary LP access programme is structured to sustain GP delegate pricing by guaranteeing LP volume and seniority. A founding year for the organiser entity and the size of its full conference portfolio are not publicly disclosed in available documentation. --- ## Editorial take *SuperReturn Europe operates at the top of the EMEA private capital conference hierarchy by headcount and institutional seniority, and its 500-plus LP attendance figure, maintained through a managed complimentary access process, is the structural asset that justifies GP delegate investment at rates significantly above the EMEA circuit average.* --- ## How to register and what it costs GP and service provider delegates pay to attend SuperReturn Europe. Publicly cited pricing for the event runs approximately £5,000 to £7,000 per delegate, varying by early bird and standard registration windows, though Informa Connect has not formally disclosed confirmed rates for the 2026 edition on its public-facing pages as of verification. Qualified institutional LPs may attend on a complimentary basis through an application process administered by Informa Connect; eligibility is assessed individually and is not automatic. Registration and access applications are handled through the event's official website. Sponsorship and exhibition pricing are not publicly disclosed. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do LPs qualify for complimentary access to SuperReturn Europe? Institutional LPs apply through a process managed directly by Informa Connect via the event website. Eligibility is assessed individually; the organiser does not publish a formal checklist of qualifying criteria, but the process is designed to ensure that complimentary attendees represent genuine institutional capital allocators rather than intermediaries or emerging managers seeking LP-adjacent access. Applications should be initiated well in advance of the event given the managed LP capacity. ### When should a GP delegate register to secure early bird pricing? Informa Connect operates a tiered pricing structure with early bird rates, but specific deadlines and discount thresholds for the 2026 edition have not been published as of verification. GPs planning to attend should monitor the official website for registration window announcements, as the difference between early bird and standard rates on events of this scale typically amounts to several hundred pounds per delegate. ### Is a visa required to attend SuperReturn Europe in Amsterdam? The Netherlands is a Schengen Area member state. Delegates travelling from non-Schengen countries require a Schengen visa. Given that the attendee base spans more than 50 countries, delegates from markets with limited EU visa access should initiate applications early. Informa Connect does not publicly provide visa invitation letters through its event page, though such requests are typically handled on application to the organiser directly. ### Is the full delegate list shared with attendees before the event? No pre-event delegate list access policy is publicly documented for SuperReturn Europe. In the broader context of events operating structured 1:1 meeting systems, some degree of attendee visibility is typically provided through the meeting scheduling platform to allow participants to identify and request meetings. The specific scope and format of pre-event information sharing for the 2026 edition are not confirmed in publicly available materials as of verification. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superreturneurope/ | | LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/superreturn/ | | X | https://x.com/superreturn | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superreturneurope/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Figures for total attendees, LP count, GP count, and geographic composition are drawn from organiser-provided materials and are self-reported; no independent verification source is available.

It convenes institutional investors and infrastructure fund managers for structured discussions on capital deployment, fund strategy, and market dynamics. The 2026 edition is the tenth. The event sits within the SuperReturn franchise operated by Informa Connect and runs alongside SuperReturn International, the broader private capital gathering from which it draws complementary audience flow. ## The 2026 edition: 29 September to 1 October in London The tenth edition of SuperReturn Global Infrastructure takes place from 29 September to 1 October 2026 at the Hilton London Bankside. The event runs for three full days. No edition theme has been publicly announced as of verification. With 8 confirmed speakers drawn from the 2026 agenda, the programme has begun to take shape, though the full speaker roster has not yet been published. ## Where SuperReturn Global Infrastructure sits in the autumn calendar The event occupies the opening slot of the EMEA private capital autumn season, starting on the last day of September and completing on 1 October. This positions it ahead of the dense mid-October and November cluster centred on Paris and Amsterdam. Running alongside SuperReturn International concentrates the infrastructure audience within a larger gathering of private capital professionals, allowing delegates to maintain a single travel commitment while accessing both events. ## What separates SuperReturn Global Infrastructure from generalist infrastructure events SuperReturn Global Infrastructure is narrowly scoped to private infrastructure within the broader private capital context, not to infrastructure as a public-sector or engineering discipline. It draws its differentiation from three structural features: co-location with SuperReturn International, which brings the broader LP and GP community to the same venue; an application-based access model that pre-filters the delegate list; and a meeting programme that operates alongside the conference sessions rather than replacing them. At 350 delegates, the event is deliberately contained relative to larger infrastructure forums, favouring meeting density over headline attendance numbers. ## Who attends SuperReturn Global Infrastructure - **Infrastructure fund managers (GPs):** fund managers in unlisted infrastructure, including energy transition, digital infrastructure, transport, and utilities; the organiser reports 150 or more GPs in attendance. - **Institutional investors (LPs):** pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds allocating to infrastructure; the organiser reports 150 or more LPs in attendance. - **Placement agents:** intermediaries active in infrastructure fundraising mandates. - **Service providers:** advisers, lawyers, and consultants serving the infrastructure investment community. ## What the SuperReturn Global Infrastructure format includes - Panel discussions covering private infrastructure investment themes across the three-day programme. - Investor-only closed-door sessions restricted to qualified institutional investors. - One-to-one meetings facilitated via a dedicated app with advance scheduling. - Drinks receptions providing informal networking outside the formal programme. The number of stages has not been publicly disclosed. Session names, confirmed speakers beyond the eight roles currently verified, and any special formats beyond those listed above are not documented as of verification. ## How the SuperReturn Global Infrastructure meeting system works Access to the event is application-based: LP delegates go through an organiser review process before their participation is confirmed. This screening function shapes the composition of the LP population and is the primary mechanism by which the meeting programme retains value for attending GPs. One-to-one meetings are schedulable in advance through a dedicated app, though the name of that app has not been disclosed. Drinks receptions extend meeting volume into the evenings. Investor-only closed-door sessions are documented as a distinct format component, separating LP-to-LP peer exchange from the main conference programme. The scheduling logic and session count for these sessions are not publicly available. ## What the SuperReturn Global Infrastructure programme covers The confirmed thematic areas for the 2026 programme have not been individually named in publicly available materials as of verification. The event's stated focus is private capital and infrastructure financing, consistent with its positioning within the SuperReturn franchise. Programme details beyond the format components listed above are expected to be published progressively on the organiser's website ahead of the October opening. ## SuperReturn Global Infrastructure 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total delegates | 350+ | | LPs | 150+ | | GPs | 150+ | | Speakers confirmed (2026) | 8 | | Edition number | 10th | | AUM represented | not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of infrastructure does SuperReturn Global Infrastructure cover? The event focuses on private unlisted infrastructure within the broader private capital asset class. It is not a conference for public infrastructure procurement or government-facing project finance. The audience is composed of fund managers and institutional allocators treating infrastructure as a return-generating asset class within a private markets portfolio. ### How large is the event and who controls the composition? According to the organiser, the 2026 edition is expected to draw 350 or more delegates, including 150 or more LPs and 150 or more GPs. Access is application-based, with LP applications reviewed by Informa Connect before confirmation. This means the organiser actively shapes the delegate composition rather than accepting registrations on an open basis. ### Is SuperReturn Global Infrastructure the same event as SuperReturn International? No. SuperReturn Global Infrastructure is a distinct event with its own registration, agenda, and delegate list. It runs alongside SuperReturn International but is separately branded and separately priced. The two events share a venue and calendar proximity, and delegates may attend one or both depending on their registration. ### Who is SuperReturn Global Infrastructure NOT designed for? Five profiles where attending is unlikely to be a productive use of time or budget: first, infrastructure professionals focused exclusively on public-sector contracting or government-tendered concessions, as the event addresses private capital fund structures rather than procurement; second, early-stage fund managers raising their first vehicle below conventional institutional ticket thresholds, since the LP population at this event allocates at institutional scale and the application model may screen out smaller GPs; third, passive conference attendees who prefer large-format keynote events and do not intend to use the one-to-one meeting system, as the event's value proposition is concentrated in structured meetings rather than broadcast content; fourth, allocators with no current mandate in private infrastructure or in the process of winding down infrastructure exposure, since the application process selects for active capital deployment; fifth, professionals based outside Europe or North America whose infrastructure exposure is limited to domestic markets and who have no cross-border dealflow rationale, given the event's positioning within the European private capital circuit. --- ## The venue: Hilton London Bankside The Hilton London Bankside occupies a position on the South Bank of the Thames, in the Borough district of London. The hotel opened in 2017 and is purpose-built for large-format corporate events, with a meeting and event floor that accommodates both plenary sessions and breakout configurations. The surrounding neighbourhood includes Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre, and a dense concentration of restaurants and bars within walking distance, all of which support the side event and drinks reception format that the infrastructure meeting circuit depends on. The Bankside location places delegates within easy reach of the City of London financial district via Blackfriars Bridge, relevant for participants with off-site meetings during the conference days. ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is the events and intelligence division of Informa plc, a publicly listed media and events company. It operates the SuperReturn franchise, which spans multiple branded events including SuperReturn International, SuperReturn Private Credit, and SuperReturn Global Infrastructure. The division functions as a commercial publisher and event organiser, generating revenue through delegate fees and sponsorship. The SuperReturn brand has established a sustained presence in the European private capital calendar over more than two decades. Informa Connect's country of registration for operational purposes is listed as Germany in the available data; no city or founding year for the division is documented in publicly available sources as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *SuperReturn Global Infrastructure earns its position in the autumn calendar not through scale but through access design: the application-based LP filter, the co-location with SuperReturn International, and the closed-door session structure together make this one of the few infrastructure events in EMEA where the meeting quality is structurally protected rather than left to chance.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Qualified institutional investors (LPs) may attend at no cost, subject to an application reviewed by the organiser. GP delegate pricing is not publicly disclosed as of verification. All registrations are processed through the organiser's official event page. The event operates an application-based access model: submission through the website does not constitute confirmation of attendance. Sponsor and exhibitor pricing is not publicly available. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does an LP apply to attend SuperReturn Global Infrastructure? LP applications are submitted through the event registration page on the Informa Connect website and are reviewed by the organiser before confirmation. The specific review criteria are not publicly documented. Institutional investors who qualify attend at no charge. ### What does it cost for a GP or service provider to attend? GP delegate pricing and service provider rates are not publicly disclosed on the event website as of verification. Pricing is likely provided directly by the organiser upon inquiry or as part of a sponsor or delegate package negotiation. ### When is the early registration deadline and are there discounted rates? No early registration deadlines or tiered discount structures have been publicly announced for the 2026 edition as of verification. Interested delegates should consult the official registration page or contact Informa Connect directly for current pricing and availability. ### Is there a dedicated app for scheduling meetings in advance? Yes. A one-to-one meeting scheduling app is part of the event infrastructure, and advance scheduling is confirmed as available. The name and platform of the app are not publicly disclosed as of verification. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-infrastructure/ | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-infrastructure/ | | Programme / Agenda | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-infrastructure/agenda/ | | Speakers | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-infrastructure/speakers/ | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-06 **Next review:** 2026-06-05 **Notes:** City and country fields in the source data contain a conflict (venue listed as Hilton London Bankside but country listed as Germany); the venue name and address origin note reference London, and the fiche treats London as the confirmed location.

It brings together general partners, institutional limited partners, placement agents, and service providers across private equity, infrastructure, and alternative investments. The event operates across five days, preceded by specialist summit days, with the structured 1:1 meeting programme as a central feature of the format. Its creation year is not publicly documented. ## The 2026 edition: 8–12 June in Berlin The 2026 edition runs from Monday 8 June to Friday 12 June at the InterContinental Hotel Berlin on Budapester Straße. Specialist summit days take place in advance of the main conference programme, allowing strategy-specific audiences to convene before the broader field assembles. No edition theme has been announced as of verification. The five-day run represents one of the longer continuous formats on the EMEA private capital calendar. ## Where SuperReturn International sits in the European summer calendar SuperReturn International occupies a distinct position in the EMEA circuit: a June slot that follows the spring cluster of strategy-specific events and precedes the summer pause before the dense autumn season in Paris and Amsterdam. Berlin in early June draws international delegates before summer travel schedules fragment institutional availability. The format's length and the volume of attendees make it, within the circuit, one of the highest-density meeting environments outside the Cannes winter openings. ## What separates SuperReturn International from other European private capital events Scale and breadth define the event's differentiation from its peers. Where most EMEA private capital events concentrate on a single strategy, a defined LP geography, or a capped attendance model, SuperReturn International aggregates across strategies and geographies simultaneously. According to the organiser, more than 6,000 senior decision-makers from over 80 countries have attended, with self-reported LP representation spanning pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurers. The presence of named GPs including KKR, Blackstone, CVC, Ares, EQT, Thoma Bravo, Carlyle, General Atlantic, Silver Lake, Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Vista, and Brookfield signals the concentration of senior fund management representation. ## Who attends SuperReturn International - **Institutional limited partners**, including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and funds of funds, a number of whom attend on complimentary passes via a qualification process. - **General partners and fund managers** across private equity, infrastructure, private credit, and real assets. - **Placement agents**, raising capital on behalf of GP clients and seeking LP introductions. - **Service providers**, including lawyers, auditors, fund administrators, technology providers, and lenders active in private capital. - **Speakers and senior delegates**, drawn from named firms including KKR, Blackstone, CVC, Ares, EQT, Thoma Bravo, Carlyle, General Atlantic, Silver Lake, Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Vista, and Brookfield, with 500 or more speakers participating across the programme according to the organiser. ## What the SuperReturn International format includes - **Multi-day main conference**, running across five days with keynotes, panels, and fireside chat sessions. - **Specialist summit days**, preceding the main conference and dedicated to specific strategies or audience segments. - **SuperReturn 1:1 platform**, a pre-event matchmaking system for scheduling bilateral meetings before arriving in Berlin. - **Structured 1:1 meetings**, conducted throughout the conference days. - **Networking lunches and evening receptions**, providing informal contact time between structured sessions. - **Sponsor lounges**, offering branded meeting and networking spaces within the venue. The total number of stages, the names of individual summit days, and the breakdown of sessions by track are not publicly documented as of verification. ## How the SuperReturn International meeting system works The structured meeting infrastructure centres on the SuperReturn 1:1 platform, which allows registered delegates to schedule bilateral meetings before the conference begins. This pre-event scheduling capability is particularly relevant for LPs and GPs who arrive in Berlin with a full diary of targeted conversations rather than relying solely on floor encounters. The system serves placement agents and GPs in fundraising mode, as well as LPs conducting manager due diligence across multiple strategies in a compressed timeframe. The five-day duration, combined with specialist summit days in the days before the main programme, materially extends the available meeting window beyond what a two or three-day event can offer. Evening receptions and networking lunches add informal touchpoints around the formal schedule. Specific data on total 1:1 meetings conducted or the platform's booking volumes are not disclosed. ## SuperReturn International 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total delegates (self-reported) | 3,500+ | | Senior decision-makers (self-reported) | 6,000+ | | LPs represented (self-reported) | 2,000+ | | GPs represented (self-reported) | 3,000+ | | Cumulative LP AUM represented (self-reported) | USD 50 trillion+ | | Countries represented (self-reported) | 80+ | | Speakers (self-reported) | 500+ | Note: the figures above are drawn from organiser self-reporting across multiple editions and may not all correspond to a single edition year.

SuperReturn International is a large-scale annual conference and structured meeting event for senior professionals in private capital. Its primary constituency is institutional LPs allocating to private funds, and GPs raising capital or managing existing LP relationships. Placement agents, advisers, and service providers attend in significant numbers. The format combines a public conference programme with a pre-scheduled 1:1 meeting system, so it functions simultaneously as a knowledge-exchange event and a capital formation venue. ### How does the LP and GP composition work at SuperReturn International? According to the organiser, the event draws more than 2,000 LPs and more than 3,000 GPs, with senior decision-makers totalling over 6,000 from more than 80 countries. The LP base self-reportedly represents a cumulative USD 50 trillion in assets under management. Qualified institutional LPs, including pension funds, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds, can apply for complimentary passes through a process managed by the organiser. GP delegates pay a delegate fee. ### Who is SuperReturn International NOT designed for? Five cases where the event is a poor fit. First, emerging or sub-scale GPs raising sub-USD 200 million funds: the delegate cost and the competitive noise of a 3,500-plus delegate event make it difficult to achieve sufficient LP face time relative to more targeted, smaller forums. Second, LPs focused exclusively on a single narrow strategy or geography: the breadth of the event means depth in any one area is diluted, and strategy-specific summits elsewhere on the circuit offer a more concentrated peer group. Third, professionals seeking a passive conference experience: the event's value proposition depends on active use of the 1:1 system, pre-scheduling meetings, and working the five-day schedule; delegates who attend primarily for the keynote programme will not extract proportionate value relative to cost and time. Fourth, non-institutional family offices or private wealth allocators without a formal alternatives allocation programme: the LP qualification process and the dominant institutional tone are calibrated to large formal allocators. Fifth, professionals based entirely outside the private equity and alternative asset management industry: the programme and meeting system assume familiarity with fund structures, capital calls, and LP-GP relationship dynamics. ### Which fund strategies are represented at SuperReturn International? The event covers private equity broadly, infrastructure, and alternative investments. Named GP participants include firms active across buyout, growth equity, venture, credit, and infrastructure. The specialist summit days preceding the main conference may address specific sub-strategies, though their names and formats are not publicly disclosed as of verification. No single strategy dominates; the event is explicitly generalist in its coverage. ## The venue: InterContinental Hotel Berlin The InterContinental Hotel Berlin sits on Budapester Straße in the Tiergarten district, adjacent to the Zoologischer Garten station and within close proximity to the Kurfürstendamm. The property is a full-service conference hotel, with multiple ballrooms and breakout spaces capable of accommodating the scale of a 3,500-plus delegate event across five days. Its central location within Berlin's western city core makes it accessible from major international airports and from the concentration of hotel stock used by out-of-town delegates. The combination of large plenary spaces, breakout rooms, and hotel accommodation on site supports the side-event and evening reception format that extends the formal programme into the evenings. ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is a division of Informa plc, a London-listed commercial information services and events group. It operates as a commercial publisher and event organiser across multiple professional sectors, with the SuperReturn brand representing its private capital events portfolio. The SuperReturn series extends beyond the Berlin flagship to include geographically and strategically focused variants covering North America, Asia, and specialist segments such as infrastructure, growth equity, and private credit. Informa Connect's creation year and the size of its full event portfolio are not publicly documented in available sources. Its organiser country is listed as Germany in the context of this event, reflecting the primary operational base for the Berlin edition. --- ## Editorial take *SuperReturn International functions as the annual census of European private capital: too broad for strategy specialists seeking depth, but irreplaceable for institutional actors who need density, geographic coverage, and the ability to conduct a full season's worth of LP-GP meetings inside a single five-day Berlin window.* --- ## How to register and what it costs GP delegates and service providers pay a delegate fee to attend. A standard SuperReturn International delegate pass is in the range of GBP 6,000 to 8,000, with a reduction of approximately GBP 700 available when specialist summit days are booked together with the main conference. These figures are approximate and sourced from available public materials; confirmed delegate pricing for the 2026 edition has not been formally disclosed by the organiser as of verification. Qualified institutional LPs, specifically pension funds, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds, can apply for a limited number of complimentary passes through an application process managed by the organiser. Registration is handled through the official event page at Informa Connect. --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do qualified LPs get complimentary access to SuperReturn International? Institutional LPs, including pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds, can apply for complimentary passes through a qualification process run by Informa Connect. The number of complimentary passes is described as limited. The application process is managed via the official event website. Specific eligibility criteria and the volume of complimentary places available for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented. ### What is the SuperReturn 1:1 platform and when does it open? The SuperReturn 1:1 platform is the pre-event matchmaking system that allows registered delegates to schedule bilateral meetings before arriving in Berlin. It enables GPs and LPs to identify and request meetings in advance, so the five-day on-site schedule can be structured around confirmed appointments rather than ad hoc encounters. The platform's opening date relative to the June 2026 conference, and any associated scheduling deadlines, are not disclosed in available public materials. ### What is the address and how do delegates reach the venue? The InterContinental Hotel Berlin is at Budapester Straße 2, 10787 Berlin. The hotel is a short walk from Zoologischer Garten station, which is served by S-Bahn and regional rail connections. Berlin Brandenburg International Airport connects to the city centre by regional rail in approximately 30 minutes. No official delegate transport arrangements or hotel room block details are publicly documented for the 2026 edition. ### Is SuperReturn International open to all professionals or invitation-only? The event operates on an open registration model. Any professional meeting the delegate criteria can register and pay to attend. The LP complimentary pass programme involves a separate qualification process, but GP delegates, placement agents, and service providers register directly through the organiser's website without an invitation requirement. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-international/ | | LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/superreturn/ | | X | https://x.com/superreturn | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-international/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Figures for visitors, LP/GP composition, and AUM represented are self-reported by the organiser and may aggregate across multiple editions rather than reflecting a single-year count; delegate pricing figures are approximate from available public materials and not formally confirmed for 2026 by the organiser; creation year, edition number, and organiser portfolio size are not publicly documented in available sources. **Variables:** 34/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/superreturn-private-credit-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # SuperReturn Private Credit Europe > *A three-day annual conference in London gathering private credit fund managers, institutional investors, and advisers to debate direct lending, asset-backed finance, secondaries, and specialty credit strategies across the European market.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **9–11 March 2026** | **Royal Lancaster Hotel** | **Informa Connect** | **700+** | | 3 days, Monday to Wednesday | Lancaster Terrace, London W2, United Kingdom | United Kingdom | senior decision-makers, including 220+ LPs and 350+ GPs (self-reported by organiser) | ## Definition SuperReturn Private Credit Europe is an annual three-day conference organised by Informa Connect, dedicated to the private credit market in Europe. It convenes credit fund managers, institutional lenders, limited partners, sponsors, and advisers to discuss direct lending, unitranche structures, asset-backed finance, secondary credit strategies, and distressed debt. The event takes place each March in London and forms part of the broader SuperReturn brand portfolio. Its founding year is not publicly documented. ## The 2026 edition: 9–11 March in London The 2026 edition runs from Monday 9 March to Wednesday 11 March at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. The programme is being published progressively at the time of verification. Historically, the event has featured senior decision-makers from institutions including Blackstone Credit, Ares, Bain Capital Credit, Carlyle, Alcentra, and Apollo. A dedicated Asset-Backed Finance summit is scheduled as a pre-conference session, extending the programme beyond the core three days for participants with specific interest in that strategy. ## Where SuperReturn Private Credit Europe sits in the spring calendar The event occupies an early-March slot, positioning it in the opening phase of the spring private capital conference cluster that runs from March through June across EMEA. London in this window is an active gathering point before the circuit moves toward the continental European events of April and May. For private credit specifically, March allows fund managers to brief institutional allocators ahead of mid-year portfolio reviews and before the summer slowdown in capital deployment decisions. ## What separates SuperReturn Private Credit Europe from generalist private capital events The programme is structured entirely around private credit strategies, with dedicated sessions on direct lending, asset-backed finance, secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and distressed debt. This concentration distinguishes it from generalist LP-GP summits where private credit competes for agenda space alongside private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. The complementary LP access model, where qualified institutional investors may attend without a delegate fee, shapes the room composition and creates an environment oriented around capital formation conversations rather than passive conference attendance. ## Who attends SuperReturn Private Credit Europe - **Credit fund managers and GPs**: direct lenders, unitranche providers, CLO managers, distressed debt funds, and specialty finance managers based in or investing across Europe. - **Institutional limited partners**: pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and funds of funds with allocations to or interest in private credit strategies. - **Sponsors and corporate borrowers**: private equity-backed companies and their financing advisers evaluating credit alternatives to syndicated markets. - **Placement agents and investor relations professionals**: intermediaries facilitating LP-GP introductions in the private credit space. - **Service providers**: law firms, administrators, rating agencies, technology providers, and consultants serving the private credit market. ## What the SuperReturn Private Credit Europe format includes - Plenary sessions covering macro credit conditions and cross-strategy themes. - Thematic panel sessions on direct lending, asset-backed finance, secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and distressed debt. - Scheduled one-to-one meetings between GPs and LPs within the conference programme. - Networking receptions across the three conference days. - A dedicated Asset-Backed Finance summit held as a pre-conference session before the main three-day programme opens. Session counts by stage, special format details beyond those listed, and the names of individual roundtable or workshop formats for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented at the time of verification. ## How the SuperReturn Private Credit Europe meeting system works The conference includes a structured one-to-one meeting programme running alongside the plenary and panel sessions. This mechanism allows GPs and LPs to schedule bilateral conversations within the conference venue rather than relying exclusively on informal corridor networking. Advance scheduling details and the name of any official matchmaking application for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. Networking receptions across the three days extend the available meeting volume beyond the formal session hours. The pre-conference Asset-Backed Finance summit creates an additional, more concentrated meeting environment for participants focused on that specific strategy, effectively adding a fourth working day for attendees who opt into both the pre-conference and main programme. ## What the SuperReturn Private Credit Europe programme covers The documented thematic areas across the programme are: - **Direct lending**: deal flow, pricing dynamics, covenant structures, and competition from bank re-entry. - **Asset-backed finance**: real asset collateral, structured credit, and the dedicated pre-conference summit. - **Private credit secondaries**: GP-led transactions, portfolio sales, and LP liquidity solutions in the credit space. - **Niche and specialty finance**: trade finance, litigation finance, royalties, and other non-vanilla credit strategies. - **Distressed debt**: restructuring activity, opportunistic credit, and default cycle positioning. - **Artificial intelligence**: operational and analytical applications within private credit processes (listed in the thematic scope for the 2026 programme). A complete session schedule with speaker assignments had not been published at the time of verification. ## SuperReturn Private Credit Europe 2026: key figures *Self-reported by organiser* | Metric | Figure | |---|---| | Total attendance | 700+ senior decision-makers | | Limited partners | 220+ | | General partners | 350+ | | Speakers confirmed (as of verification) | 3 | | Duration | 3 days (plus pre-conference summit) | | AUM represented | not disclosed | ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is SuperReturn Private Credit Europe, and how does it differ from the broader SuperReturn series? SuperReturn Private Credit Europe is a strategy-specific conference focused entirely on private credit, sitting within the SuperReturn portfolio published by Informa Connect. The broader SuperReturn series includes the flagship SuperReturn International (a generalist private capital event) and other strategy-specific titles. The Private Credit Europe edition concentrates the programme, the speaker roster, and the meeting system on credit fund managers and credit allocators, rather than distributing agenda time across private equity, infrastructure, and real assets. ### Who is SuperReturn Private Credit Europe NOT designed for? Five profiles where the event is a poor fit. First, general private equity fund managers without a meaningful credit or hybrid capital component to their strategy: the programme does not address buyout or growth equity deal dynamics. Second, small or emerging private credit managers seeking LP introductions for sub-€200 million strategies, given the room is populated by institutional LPs whose ticket sizes and mandate thresholds tend to favour established managers. Third, LPs whose allocation focus is outside Europe and for whom the strategic discussions anchored in European credit markets offer limited relevance. Fourth, market participants seeking a pure conference experience without the expectation of bilateral meetings: the format is built around meeting intensity, and passive attendance yields a different return. Fifth, corporate borrowers without a specific agenda around private credit financing who attend in the hope of sourcing equity or other capital: the event is structured for the asset management and institutional investment community. ### What private credit strategies are covered in the programme? The documented strategies are direct lending, unitranche structures, asset-backed finance, private credit secondaries, niche and specialty finance (including trade finance and specialty credit), and distressed debt. Artificial intelligence applications within private credit operations also appear in the thematic scope for 2026. The complete session schedule for 2026 was not finalised at the time of verification. ### What seniority level should attendees expect in the room? According to the organiser, the 700-plus figure refers specifically to senior decision-makers, with 220-plus classified as LPs and 350-plus as GPs. Historical speaker representation has included managing directors, chief investment officers, and senior partners from institutions such as Blackstone Credit, Ares, Bain Capital Credit, Carlyle, Alcentra, and Apollo. Entry-level and analyst-grade participation is not part of the stated audience profile. --- ## What private credit is Private credit refers to debt instruments originated and held by non-bank lenders outside publicly traded bond or loan markets. Strategies include direct lending to mid-market companies, unitranche facilities that combine senior and subordinated debt in a single instrument, asset-backed lending against specific collateral pools, and distressed debt purchases at a discount. The asset class expanded substantially in the years following the 2008 financial crisis as banks reduced balance sheet exposure to corporate lending, and again during the post-2022 rate normalisation period as higher base rates improved yield dynamics for floating-rate credit instruments. --- ## The venue: Royal Lancaster Hotel, London The Royal Lancaster Hotel is located on Lancaster Terrace in Bayswater, at the northern edge of Hyde Park, within the W2 postcode. The property is a purpose-built hotel of significant room inventory that regularly hosts large private capital events alongside its hospitality and banqueting functions. Its proximity to Hyde Park Corner, Paddington, and the West End makes it logistically convenient for delegates travelling from European financial centres via Heathrow. The hotel's capacity for large plenary assemblies, combined with breakout rooms suited to parallel panel tracks and private meeting spaces for bilateral sessions, makes it a functional match for a conference programme of this structure. Side events such as evening networking receptions are typically hosted within the hotel itself, concentrating the networking footprint and reducing travel time between sessions. Specific side event venues for the 2026 edition are not publicly documented. ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is the events and specialist information division of Informa plc, a publicly listed British information services and publishing group headquartered in the United Kingdom. The division produces conferences, training, and digital content across sectors including financial services, life sciences, and fashion. In private capital, Informa Connect operates the SuperReturn brand, which covers a portfolio of events spanning the main SuperReturn International gathering, regional titles for Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and strategy-specific editions including SuperReturn Private Credit Europe. The creation year of Informa Connect as a distinct division is not publicly documented in available sources, though the SuperReturn brand itself has been active in the private equity conference market for over two decades. Informa Connect is classified as a commercial publisher operating conference properties at scale. --- ## Editorial take *SuperReturn Private Credit Europe occupies a specific and increasingly contested position in the London spring calendar: a high-density meeting environment for a strategy that has moved from niche to dominant within institutional alternatives portfolios, and whose practitioners now require a dedicated forum rather than a sub-track at a generalist event.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration is managed through the Informa Connect website at the address listed in the Resources section below. Access conditions are tiered by delegate type. Qualified institutional investors (LPs) may be eligible to attend on a complimentary basis, a model consistent with the broader SuperReturn series, though this is subject to confirmation with Informa Connect directly and is not guaranteed for all LP profiles. For GPs and service providers, a delegate fee applies. Pricing for the 2026 edition is not published on publicly indexed pages at the time of verification. Rates for the 2025 edition were reported in the approximate range of £3,500 to £4,500 for standard delegate registration. A VIP discount code (FKR3638ACI) providing a reported 10% reduction has been documented, though its validity for the 2026 edition and applicable tiers should be confirmed with the organiser before use. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-private-credit-europe/ | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-private-credit-europe/ | | Programme | not disclosed | ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is SuperReturn Private Credit Europe open to all registrants, or is access restricted? The event operates as an open-access conference, meaning registration is available without an invitation requirement. LP and GP registrants follow different pricing tracks. Qualified institutional investors may be eligible for complimentary access, subject to validation by the organiser. This should be confirmed directly with Informa Connect before completing registration. ### What is the registration cost for GPs and service providers in 2026? Delegate pricing for the 2026 edition is not publicly disclosed on indexed pages as of the verification date. The 2025 edition was reported to carry a standard delegate rate in the approximate range of £3,500 to £4,500. These figures are approximate and historical; they should not be treated as confirmed 2026 pricing. Contact Informa Connect directly for a current quote. ### When and where does the event take place? The 2026 edition runs from 9 to 11 March at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, Lancaster Terrace, London W2 2TY. A pre-conference Asset-Backed Finance summit is also scheduled, though its precise date relative to the 9 March opening is not specified in publicly available materials at the time of verification. ### Can attendees schedule meetings in advance? One-to-one meetings are a documented component of the event format. Details on the advance scheduling mechanism and any official matchmaking application for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed. Participants seeking to arrange meetings ahead of the event should contact Informa Connect's delegate services team for guidance on the scheduling process. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data drawn from Informa Connect public event pages and self-reported organiser figures; the 2026 programme was incomplete at time of verification; LP complimentary access and discount code validity require direct confirmation with the organiser; the 2025 pricing range is approximate and historical. **Variables:** 38/58 **Concept definition:** applicable: private credit --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/superreturn-secondaries-europe.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # SuperReturn Secondaries Europe > *SuperReturn Secondaries Europe is the leading dedicated conference for the European private equity secondaries market, held in London and drawing approximately 350 senior practitioners including more than 120 LPs and 160 GPs.

The conference focuses on GP-led secondaries, continuation vehicles, NAV financing, and the evolving LP secondary market. The secondaries segment has grown to become one of the most strategically significant areas of the private capital market, providing liquidity solutions that were structurally absent from the asset class a decade ago. SuperReturn Secondaries Europe reflects this maturation: it operates as a serious strategy-specific forum for the professionals who structure, underwrite, and allocate to secondary transactions, rather than as a general private equity gathering. The programme covers transaction structuring, pricing dynamics, LP portfolio sales, and the regulatory and accounting considerations specific to secondaries. The concentration of specialists, from dedicated secondary fund managers to advisory firms and institutional LP sellers, gives the event an unusually high density of transactional expertise relative to its size. For practitioners active in the European secondaries market, it represents the clearest annual view of the market's direction and the professionals shaping it. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/superventure.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # SuperVenture > *A three-day venture capital conference held in Berlin, co-located with SuperReturn International, gathering LP and GP communities from the global VC circuit for structured 1:1 meetings, keynotes, and panel sessions dedicated to the venture asset class.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026 – not disclosed** | **Berlin** | **Informa Connect** | **Not disclosed** | | Annual, 3 days | Germany | Commercial publisher | Delegate figures not published | --- ## Definition SuperVenture is an annual three-day conference dedicated to venture capital, bringing together limited partners, general partners, and service providers to meet, exchange deal flow, and conduct structured fundraising conversations. It is co-located with SuperReturn International in Berlin, allowing participants to move between the two events and access an expanded institutional network. The event operates a 1:1 meeting platform described, according to the organiser, as generating more than 25,000 meetings across the three days. Specific dates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## Where SuperVenture sits in the Berlin and EMEA venture calendar SuperVenture occupies a distinct position in the EMEA private capital circuit as a venue-specific venture capital gathering embedded within one of the circuit's largest generalist LP and GP gatherings. Berlin hosts the event, a city with an established position in the European venture market and a dense network of fund managers operating across the DACH region and beyond. The co-location model means participants attending SuperReturn International can access SuperVenture sessions without a separate geography commitment, which structurally amplifies the potential meeting volume for both events. ## What separates SuperVenture from standalone venture forums The co-location with SuperReturn International is the defining structural feature of SuperVenture, setting it apart from independently produced venture capital forums on the EMEA circuit. Dedicated venture events in Europe typically draw a narrower LP base skewed toward fund-of-funds and specialist VC allocators. SuperVenture, by sitting inside the SuperReturn International tent, gains access to a broader institutional LP pool that includes allocators present primarily for private equity, who may nonetheless hold or be building venture allocations. The organiser characterises it, self-reported, as the largest LP/VC event in Europe. ## Who attends SuperVenture **Who attends SuperVenture** - Institutional limited partners with venture capital allocations, including funds of funds and specialist LP vehicles. - General partners managing venture capital funds, from early-stage to growth. - Placement agents representing VC managers in fundraising. - Service providers to the venture capital industry, including legal, fund administration, and technology firms. - Participants named in organiser materials as representative speakers and attendees include Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, European Investment Fund, Top Tier Capital Partners, StepStone Group, Vintage Investment Partners, Cambridge Associates, and Isomer Capital. Complementary access for qualified institutional LPs is referenced in organiser materials, though the specific qualifying criteria are not publicly documented as of verification. ## What the SuperVenture format includes **The four components of the SuperVenture format** - A three-day conference programme featuring keynote sessions. - Interactive panel discussions structured around the venture capital asset class. - Networking sessions running in parallel with or adjacent to the formal programme. - A structured 1:1 meeting platform, the SuperReturn 1:1 system, through which, according to the organiser, more than 25,000 bilateral meetings are facilitated across the three days. The specific number of stages, named session tracks, or any special closed-format roundtables are not publicly documented as of verification. Whether the meeting platform operates with advance scheduling or an on-site request system is not disclosed in available materials. ## How meetings are scheduled at SuperVenture The meeting infrastructure at SuperVenture runs on the SuperReturn 1:1 platform, shared across the SuperReturn event family. According to the organiser, this system facilitates more than 25,000 meetings over the three days of the conference, a figure that underscores the centrality of bilateral meetings to the event's value proposition rather than passive conference attendance. The specific mechanics of the platform, including whether participants pre-schedule meetings before arrival, use a mobile application on site, or submit meeting requests through a web portal, are not disclosed in publicly available materials as of verification. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is SuperVenture and how does it relate to SuperReturn International? SuperVenture is the dedicated venture capital strand of the SuperReturn event family, produced by Informa Connect and held in Berlin. It runs co-located with SuperReturn International, meaning the two events share the same host city and period, allowing participants to attend sessions and meetings from both under a combined institutional gathering. SuperVenture focuses specifically on the LP/VC relationship: fundraising conversations between venture fund managers and institutional allocators. ### Who is SuperVenture NOT designed for? Five categories of participant are unlikely to find the event a productive fit. First, fund managers operating outside venture capital, such as buyout or infrastructure GPs, as the programme and audience are oriented specifically toward the venture asset class. Second, LPs with no existing or prospective venture allocation, for whom the meeting pool will be misaligned with their portfolio mandate. Third, emerging managers below the threshold of institutional LP interest, given that the confirmed attendee names indicate large, established VC brands and institutional allocators with significant AUM. Fourth, participants seeking a passive or observational conference experience: the meeting volume cited by the organiser implies a format that rewards active pre-event preparation and sustained meeting engagement. Fifth, service providers to non-venture strategies, who will find the audience too narrowly defined around VC fund economics and structures. ### Which organisations are represented at SuperVenture? Organiser materials name the following organisations as representative participants: Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, European Investment Fund, Top Tier Capital Partners, StepStone Group, Vintage Investment Partners, Cambridge Associates, and Isomer Capital. This list combines GP fund managers, LP allocators, and fund-of-funds operators. No full delegate list or confirmed speaker programme for the 2026 edition is publicly available as of verification. ### Is SuperVenture an open-access event or invitation-only? SuperVenture operates on an open-access model, meaning registration is available to qualifying delegates through the Informa Connect website rather than by invitation. Qualified institutional LPs may be eligible for complimentary access according to organiser materials, though the specific qualifying criteria are not publicly specified. Other delegate categories, including GP fund managers and service providers, are subject to a delegate fee. --- ## Why Berlin hosts SuperVenture The 2026 edition of SuperVenture takes place in Berlin. No specific venue within the city is publicly identified as of verification. Berlin hosts the broader SuperReturn International gathering, and SuperVenture's co-location with that event anchors its geography. The specific venue address, capacity, and neighbourhood are not disclosed in available materials. ## The organiser: Informa Connect Informa Connect is the events and specialist content division of Informa plc, a London-headquartered commercial publisher and events group. The SuperReturn family of events, which includes SuperReturn International, SuperVenture, SuperReturn Private Credit, and a range of strategy-specific gatherings, sits within Informa Connect's financial services portfolio. Informa Connect operates as a commercial publisher rather than an industry association, meaning its events are produced on a for-profit basis with delegate fee and sponsorship revenue models. The founding year of the organiser and the size of its events portfolio are not reproduced here from public filings, as the specific figures relevant to the SuperVenture context are not confirmed in available source materials as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *SuperVenture's structural argument rests entirely on co-location: a dedicated venture forum that would otherwise compete for LP attention against a crowded EMEA calendar instead borrows the institutional gravity of SuperReturn International, converting a potential disadvantage in standalone scale into a concentrated, three-day meeting window for the LP/VC relationship.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Registration for SuperVenture is managed through the Informa Connect website at informaconnect.com/superventure/. The event operates on an open-access model. Delegate pricing for GP fund managers and service providers is not publicly listed as of verification. Qualified institutional LPs may be eligible for complimentary access, according to organiser materials, though the criteria for that classification are not publicly specified. No exhibitor stand pricing is disclosed. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### When and where does SuperVenture take place in 2026? The 2026 edition of SuperVenture is held in Berlin, Germany. Specific dates within 2026 and the precise venue address are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The event is described as a three-day conference. ### How much does it cost to attend SuperVenture? Delegate pricing is not publicly listed on the Informa Connect website as of verification. Organiser materials indicate that qualified institutional LPs may attend on a complimentary basis, while GP fund managers, placement agents, and service providers are subject to a delegate fee. The specific fee for the 2026 edition is not confirmed in any publicly available source reviewed for this fiche. ### How do I register for SuperVenture? Registration is handled through the Informa Connect event page at informaconnect.com/superventure/. No separate registration portal is identified. Prospective delegates seeking LP complimentary access or pricing details should contact Informa Connect directly through the event site. ### Can I attend both SuperVenture and SuperReturn International? SuperVenture is co-located with SuperReturn International in Berlin, and organiser materials describe the arrangement as designed to create networking synergies between the two events. Whether a single registration covers both events, or whether separate registrations are required, is not specified in publicly available materials as of verification. --- ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://informaconnect.com/superventure/ | | Register | https://informaconnect.com/superventure/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source data completeness is 45% (28/58 variables).

The event brings together principals, CIOs, and senior investment staff from single and multi-family offices alongside selected fund managers and advisors in a setting calibrated for substantive peer exchange. The London format, at a property associated with high-end institutional hospitality, reflects the event's positioning as a senior-level gathering rather than a mass-attendance conference. Family office professionals attend to benchmark portfolio construction, examine co-investment opportunities, and engage with specialist managers across private equity, real estate, private credit, and alternative asset strategies. For family offices with international investment programmes, London provides access to a concentration of European and global fund managers in a single city. The forum's design prioritises depth of engagement over volume: programming and attendance management aim to preserve the ratio of family office principals to commercial participants that makes such events productive for allocators. --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/women-in-private-debt-forum-london.md # Last verified: 2026-05-04 # Women in Private Debt Forum London > *A one-day specialist conference in London, co-hosted with LPGP Connect Private Debt London, gathering senior private debt professionals from the buy-side and sell-side with an explicit focus on women active in the private debt community.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2026** | **London** | **peievents.com** | **~200** | | Annual, one day | United Kingdom; specific venue not disclosed | United Kingdom; organiser name not publicly disclosed | delegates (LP/GP composition not broken down) | --- ## Definition Women in Private Debt Forum London is an annual one-day conference in London dedicated to the private debt community, with an explicit focus on women active in the sector across both the buy-side and sell-side. The event is co-hosted with LPGP Connect Private Debt London under a partnership arrangement, integrating the forum into a broader LP/GP connectivity programme. It gathers approximately 200 delegates drawn from senior LP and GP institutions operating in private debt. The creation year is not publicly documented. ## The 2026 edition: dates and venue Specific dates for the 2026 edition are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The event takes place in London, United Kingdom; the exact venue has not been announced publicly. The 2026 programme is not yet visible on the organiser's website. Delegates seeking confirmed scheduling details should consult the official event page directly. ## Where Women in Private Debt Forum London sits in the calendar The event is part of the spring-to-summer EMEA private capital circuit, anchored in London, which concentrates strategy-specific and community-focused gatherings between March and June. Its co-hosting arrangement with LPGP Connect Private Debt London ties it to the LP/GP meeting infrastructure that runs alongside the main private debt conference day, extending the practical reach of a single-day format beyond what a standalone conference would permit. ## What separates Women in Private Debt Forum London from generalist private debt conferences The event is not a generalist private debt summit. Its distinguishing characteristic is the community filter: attendance is oriented toward women in private debt, with LP access structured around an application and review process rather than open registration. The co-hosting structure with LPGP Connect Private Debt London means the forum sits inside a curated LP/GP meeting environment rather than operating as a standalone conference day. That configuration is uncommon on the London private debt calendar. ## Who attends Women in Private Debt Forum London - Senior LPs from institutional allocators active in private debt, admitted through an organiser-reviewed application process. - GPs operating in private debt strategies, attending under sponsor or delegate arrangements linked to the LPGP Connect partnership. - Placement agents active in private debt fundraising. - Service providers to the private debt industry. - Professionals across all of the above categories who are part of, or aligned with, the Women in Private Debt community. ## What the Women in Private Debt Forum London format includes - One day of conference programming. - Panel discussions covering private debt themes. - Fireside chat sessions. - A networking lunch. - A networking reception closing the day. The programme for the 2026 edition is not publicly available as of verification. Session titles, speaker names, stage count, and any additional special formats beyond those listed above are not documented at this time. ## How meetings are scheduled at Women in Private Debt Forum London The structured meeting component operates through the LPGP Connect infrastructure, which underpins the co-hosting arrangement. LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted, meaning the delegate composition on the buy-side is curated rather than open. Advance scheduling is confirmed as available for LP participants. No dedicated networking application is documented for the event. The networking lunch and end-of-day reception extend the face-to-face meeting volume beyond what formal panel sessions provide. ## What the Women in Private Debt Forum London programme covers Programme themes documented for the event are centred on private debt financing, institutional investment in private debt, and networking within the Women in Private Debt community. The 2026 session-level agenda is not publicly available. The thematic scope reflects the dual purpose of the forum: substantive industry content on private debt markets and deliberate community-building among women professionals in the sector. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is Women in Private Debt Forum London and who is it designed for? Women in Private Debt Forum London is a one-day conference in London co-hosted with LPGP Connect Private Debt London, focused on private debt as a strategy and on women professionals active in the sector. It is designed for senior buy-side allocators, private debt fund managers, placement agents, and service providers who are part of or aligned with the Women in Private Debt community. The LP application process gives the buy-side cohort a curated quality that open-registration events do not replicate. ### Who is Women in Private Debt Forum London NOT designed for? Professionals outside the private debt strategy will find the event a poor fit: it does not cover broader private equity, infrastructure, real assets, or venture capital. Senior male LP and GP professionals seeking a generalist private debt summit will find the community orientation limits the breadth of peer dialogue. Delegates from smaller or emerging market institutions who need a high volume of structured GP meetings over multiple days may find a one-day format insufficient for their objectives. Service providers seeking exhibition stand space will not find that infrastructure here, as no exhibition component is documented. Allocators or managers based outside Europe who attend London events primarily for regulatory or UK-market content will find the community focus narrows the agenda significantly. ### How does the co-hosting arrangement with LPGP Connect Private Debt London work? LPGP Connect Private Debt London is a parallel event running alongside the Women in Private Debt Forum under a partnership arrangement. This means delegates at the forum benefit from the LP/GP meeting infrastructure that LPGP Connect provides, rather than the forum operating solely as a conference. The exact mechanics of crossover attendance between the two events are not publicly documented. ### Is the Women in Private Debt Forum London open to all attendees? No. Access follows an application model: LP and senior buy-side participants must apply, and applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted. GP and sponsor attendance is structured through the LPGP Connect partnership arrangement. Delegate pricing for GPs and sponsors is not publicly disclosed. ## The venue: London The 2026 venue has not been publicly announced. The event takes place in London, United Kingdom. No additional venue details, neighbourhood, or building information are available as of verification. Practical logistics for attendees, including transport links and proximity to side-event venues, will depend on the confirmed location once it is released. ## The organiser: peievents.com The event is operated by a commercial publisher based in the United Kingdom, accessible at peievents.com. The organiser's legal or trading name is not publicly disclosed on the event page. No founding year, portfolio size, or further details about the operator's broader event programme are documented in publicly available sources as of verification. The organiser's website serves as the primary registration and information channel for the event. --- ## Editorial take *Women in Private Debt Forum London occupies a precise niche in the London private capital calendar: it fuses a community mandate (women in private debt) with the curated LP/GP meeting infrastructure of LPGP Connect, producing a format that is more selective and more networked than a standard one-day specialist conference.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is managed through the organiser's website at peievents.com. The access model requires an application, and LP or senior buy-side participants from the Women in Private Debt community may attend on a complimentary basis, subject to organiser review and qualification. GP and sponsor delegate rates are linked to the LPGP Connect Private Debt London partnership and are not publicly disclosed as of verification. Prospective attendees should submit an enquiry or application directly through the official event page. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### Is attendance at Women in Private Debt Forum London free for LPs? Qualified senior buy-side participants from the Women in Private Debt community are frequently admitted on a complimentary basis, according to the access terms documented for the event. Complimentary access is subject to an organiser-reviewed application rather than being unconditionally open. GP and sponsor pricing is not publicly available. ### When will the 2026 programme and dates be confirmed? The 2026 programme is not publicly visible as of verification (4 May 2026). Specific dates have not been announced on the organiser's website. The official event page at peievents.com is the appropriate channel to monitor for updates. ### Can attendees access both Women in Private Debt Forum London and LPGP Connect Private Debt London on the same day? The two events are co-hosted under a partnership arrangement on the same day, but the exact terms governing crossover access between the two programmes are not publicly documented. Prospective delegates should contact the organiser directly for clarification on dual access. ### Is there a networking app for pre-scheduling meetings? No networking application is documented for the Women in Private Debt Forum London as of verification. Advance scheduling for LP participants is confirmed as available through the organiser's process, but the operational tool through which meetings are arranged has not been publicly specified. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/women-private-debt-forum/ | | Register | https://www.peievents.com/en/event/women-private-debt-forum/ | | Programme | not disclosed | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Data sourced from the organiser's public event page at peievents.com and enriched narrative fields; organiser legal name, creation year, specific venue, 2026 dates, speaker list, and LP/GP attendance breakdown are all not publicly disclosed as of verification; completeness score 52% (32/58 variables). **Variables:** 32/58 **Concept definition:** applicable — private debt (block omitted: the event title and audience definition make the strategy self-evident to the target readership; a formal definition block would be redundant given the specialist audience composition). --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/events/women-in-private-debt-forum.md # Last verified: 2026-05-06 # Women in Private Debt Forum > *A two-day specialist forum for senior institutional investors, fund managers, and credit professionals active in private debt, held each December in London as part of the Women in Private Markets Summit organised by PEI Group.* --- ## Quick Facts | DATES | VENUE | ORGANISER | ATTENDANCE | |---|---|---|---| | **2–3 December 2026** | **Convene 133 Houndsditch** | **PEI Group** | **not disclosed** | | 2 days | London, United Kingdom | peievents.com | Part of 800+ delegate summit | --- ## Definition The Women in Private Debt Forum is an annual two-day specialist forum organised by PEI Group (via its events platform peievents.com) and held each December in London. It forms one of four co-located forums within the Women in Private Markets Summit, alongside Women in Private Equity, Women in Infrastructure, and Women in Real Estate. The forum focuses on private debt investment strategy, credit market conditions, and the professional advancement of women active in the asset class, drawing senior institutional LPs, fund managers, and advisors from across the EMEA private credit market. ## The 2026 edition: 2–3 December in London The 2026 edition runs on 2–3 December at Convene 133 Houndsditch in the City of London. Five speakers have been confirmed for the 2026 edition: Jennifer Hartviksen (IMCO), Natalia Tsitoura (Apollo), Melissa Bockelmann (Aviva Investors), Jane Bowes (Threadmark), and Shelley Morrison (Aberdeen Investments). The full programme and complete speaker list were not publicly available as of verification. Registration is managed through the PEI Group interest form at info.pei.group. ## How the Women in Private Debt Forum fits within the Women in Private Markets Summit The Women in Private Debt Forum is one of four distinct forums that run concurrently within the Women in Private Markets Summit. The summit as a whole draws over 800 delegates including 200-plus LP representatives. Each forum addresses a separate private markets strategy while sharing the summit venue and networking infrastructure. Delegates attending the Women in Private Debt Forum have access to the broader summit programme and networking sessions, giving the event a network reach beyond the private debt community alone. The summit has been running for at least twelve editions, with PEI Group as the consistent organiser. ## Where the Women in Private Debt Forum sits in the December calendar December in London is a distinct slot in the institutional private capital circuit. It follows the main autumn conference season and precedes the year-end break, functioning as a closing professional gathering before Christmas. The co-location with Women in Private Equity, Women in Infrastructure, and Women in Real Estate within the same summit broadens the LP-GP networking pool beyond any single strategy, which differentiates this event from a pure private debt conference. ## Who attends the Women in Private Debt Forum - Institutional limited partners allocating to private debt and private credit strategies - General partners managing direct lending, special situations, and specialty finance funds - Women professionals active across the private debt investment value chain - Placement agents active in private credit fundraising - Service providers including legal counsel, fund administrators, and advisors to the asset class The event draws attendees from across EMEA, consistent with the pan-European positioning of the Women in Private Markets Summit. The LP and GP breakdown by headcount for the Women in Private Debt Forum specifically is not publicly disclosed. ## What the 2026 programme covers The programme examines how capital is deployed in private credit, from direct lending to opportunistic credit strategies. Confirmed thematic areas for the 2026 edition include: - Direct lending and core credit strategies - Opportunistic credit and special situations - Structuring across the capital structure - Risk management and downside protection - Yield generation in higher rate environments - Financing conditions and deal flow ## What private credit is 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 has expanded significantly since post-2008 bank regulatory tightening and accelerated as rates rose from 2022, drawing increased LP allocations as floating-rate instruments delivered higher yields alongside private equity portfolios under pressure. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the Women in Private Debt Forum and how does it relate to the Women in Private Markets Summit? The Women in Private Debt Forum is a strategy-specific track within the Women in Private Markets Summit, organised by PEI Group. It runs simultaneously with Women in Private Equity, Women in Infrastructure, and Women in Real Estate forums under the same summit roof and registration framework. Delegates attending the Women in Private Debt Forum are part of the broader summit and benefit from its combined networking infrastructure. ### How does this event differ from the LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London? These are two distinct events with similar names. The Women in Private Debt Forum (this event) is organised by PEI Group, runs in December, and takes place within the Women in Private Markets Summit at Convene 133 Houndsditch. LPGP Connect Women in Private Debt London is a separate annual event organised by LPGP Connect (EI-06567), runs in September, and is a standalone gathering. The two events are independent, operate under different brands, and target overlapping but distinct audience communities. ### Who is PEI Group and what is its events platform?

Its publications include Private Equity International, Infrastructure Investor, Private Debt Investor, and PERE. Its events are produced under the peievents.com platform.

The organiser's event page is the appropriate contact point for registration enquiries. --- ## The venue: Convene 133 Houndsditch Convene 133 Houndsditch is a conference and events venue in the City of London, close to Liverpool Street station. It is a recurring venue in the PEI Group events calendar and is equipped for multi-room, multi-track conference formats, which suits the co-located structure of the Women in Private Markets Summit. The December timing means the event takes place in one of London's lower-footfall conference weeks, which can ease delegate logistics. ## The organiser: PEI Group PEI Group is a commercial publisher and event organiser headquartered in London, active across private equity, private debt, infrastructure, and real estate. It operates peievents.com as its events platform and produces a range of flagship annual gatherings including the Women in Private Markets Summit, Infrastructure Investor Global Summit, and PERE Europe Forum.

Now in its thirteenth edition, the event operates on an invite-only basis and is structured around interactive working formats rather than a conventional conference programme. It occupies a distinct position in the EMEA private capital calendar as the field's principal European gathering focused on the representation and advancement of women across institutional finance. ## The 2026 edition: 2–3 December in London The thirteenth edition of the Women in Private Markets Summit takes place on 2 and 3 December 2026 at Convene in London. As of the date of verification, the detailed programme, confirmed keynote speakers, and session titles for the 2026 edition had not been published on the official PEI Events website. The organiser's contact for programme enquiries is Hannah Ogunlowo at peievents.com. ## Where the Women in Private Markets Summit sits in the December calendar December sits at the quieter end of the EMEA private capital circuit, when most fundraising conferences and LP-GP summits of the autumn cluster have concluded and practitioners are moving into year-end closing activity. Hosting the summit in this window gives it a less competitive slot than the dense September-to-November calendar anchored in Paris and Amsterdam. For attendees based in London or travelling from continental European financial centres, a two-day engagement in early December remains operationally feasible before year-end commitments intensify. ## Who attends the Women in Private Markets Summit - Limited partners from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, and funds of funds, with the organiser reporting more than 200 LP attendees. - General partners including fund managers across private equity, venture capital, private credit, infrastructure, and real assets. - Placement agents advising GPs on distribution strategy and LP relationship management. - Service providers operating within the private markets space. ## What the Women in Private Markets Summit format includes The event is built around interactive and discussion-led formats rather than large-stage keynote delivery. The documented components include: - Interactive working groups, the stated core format of the summit. - Breakfast think tanks, held as small-group sessions in the morning programme. - Roundtable discussions, allowing focused peer exchange among defined cohorts. - Investor-only breakfasts, reserved for qualified institutional allocators. - Seated networking lunch, providing structured midday contact time. - Cocktail receptions, extending networking volume into the evening. The number of stages or thematic tracks operating in parallel is not publicly disclosed. Confirmed speaker names and specific session titles for the 2026 edition are not available as of the date of verification. ## How the Women in Private Markets Summit meeting system works The summit's networking architecture is organised around a sequence of formats that increase in intimacy from open reception to closed investor-only session. Investor-only breakfasts are the most access-restricted component, limited to qualified institutional allocators, and function as the event's highest-signal LP contact environment. Roundtables and interactive working groups bring smaller cohorts together around defined topics, allowing substantive peer exchange that plenary formats do not permit. Advance one-to-one scheduling and an official matchmaking application are not documented for this event. Whether a pre-event meeting request system exists is not publicly disclosed as of verification. ## What the Women in Private Markets Summit programme covers The programme addresses gender diversity, inclusion, and career advancement within private markets, framed against the institutional context of the LP-GP relationship, fund strategy, and professional progression. Specific session titles and confirmed thematic tracks for the 2026 edition are not published as of verification. Broad subject areas drawn from the event's positioning include private capital financing, fund management strategy, and the structural conditions that shape professional representation in institutional asset management. ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What kind of professional is the Women in Private Markets Summit designed for? The summit targets senior professionals at the intersection of institutional private capital and gender diversity. Its core audience is LP allocators and GP fund managers at established firms, accompanied by placement agents and service providers with a relevant institutional client base. The invite-only access model and the LP-heavy composition (200-plus LPs self-reported by the organiser) signal that the event is calibrated for professionals who already operate within the institutional private markets circuit, not those entering it. ### Who is the Women in Private Markets Summit NOT designed for? Several profiles are a structural mismatch for this event. Emerging managers seeking first-time LP introductions will find the invite-only access model a meaningful barrier, as attendance is not open on a pay-to-register basis without qualification. Professionals working exclusively in public markets, hedge funds, or corporate finance will find limited strategic relevance in the programme and audience. Practitioners based outside Europe for whom a two-day London trip in early December generates high travel cost relative to expected meeting yield may find the geography unfavourable. Service providers seeking exhibition space or stand-based lead generation will find no documented exhibition component. Finally, individuals looking for a passive conference format with keynote-heavy programming are unlikely to find the interactive working group structure comfortable or productive. ### Is the Women in Private Markets Summit relevant to male professionals in private capital? The event is documented as promoting gender diversity within private markets, and its audience description includes both LP and GP professionals without an explicit gender restriction. The specific access conditions and eligibility criteria beyond the invite-only model are not publicly disclosed. Prospective attendees seeking clarification on eligibility should contact the organiser directly. ### How does the 2026 edition fit into the event's history? The 2026 gathering is the thirteenth edition, which positions the event's launch no later than 2014. The creation year is not publicly disclosed. Running thirteen editions indicates the summit has an established track record within the EMEA private capital diversity calendar, though the precise history of venue, scale, or format evolution across those editions is not documented in publicly available sources as of verification. ## The venue: Convene Convene is a premium meeting and event venue operator with a portfolio of purpose-built conference facilities. The London location hosts the summit, though the specific address of the Convene site used for the 2026 edition is not disclosed in publicly available information as of verification. Convene venues are typically configured to support breakout and working group formats alongside main plenary space, which is consistent with the summit's format architecture of parallel roundtables, breakfasts, and interactive sessions. The London location places the event at the centre of the European private capital professional community, within short travel distance of the fund management and institutional investor firms concentrated in Mayfair, the City, and surrounding districts. ## The organiser: PEI Group PEI Group is a London-based commercial publisher and events operator specialising in private markets. It operates a portfolio of sector-specific conferences, summits, and forums across private equity, private credit, infrastructure, real assets, and venture capital, with events running across multiple geographies. PEI Group produces specialist publications alongside its events portfolio and is regarded within the EMEA circuit as a primary commercial organiser in the private capital space. Its founding year and portfolio size are not disclosed in publicly available sources as of verification. --- ## Editorial take *Thirteen editions in, the Women in Private Markets Summit holds a structurally uncontested position: it is the European private capital circuit's dedicated LP-GP gathering for gender diversity, and its interactive format distinguishes it clearly from the keynote-and-panel mainstream of the autumn cluster.* ## How to register and what it costs The Women in Private Markets Summit operates on an invite-only basis. Qualified institutional investors (LPs) are eligible for complimentary attendance, subject to limited places. Delegate pricing for other participant categories is not publicly disclosed as of verification. The organiser does not publish an open ticketing page; registration and access enquiries should be directed through the official PEI Events event page at the address listed in the Resources section. Sponsor and exhibitor pricing is not documented. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do qualified LPs apply for complimentary attendance? The event offers complimentary places for qualified institutional investors, described as limited in number. Applications or registration requests for LP places should be made through the official PEI Events website or directly with the organiser.

Now in its fourth Swiss edition, it convenes roughly 100 attendees across two days in Montreux for structured discussions on investment strategy, governance, succession, and entrepreneurship. Connect Group, a Swiss commercial events operator, organises and hosts the event. The creation year is not publicly disclosed. ## The 2026 edition: 8–9 June in Montreux The fourth Swiss edition runs on 8 and 9 June 2026 at the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel. A specific programme theme for the 2026 edition has not been announced. With approximately 29 speakers confirmed and an attendance ceiling near 100 participants, the format is deliberately contained. The organisers describe the audience as concentrated around presidents, CEOs, and family office principals. ## Where the World Family Office Forum Europe sits in the spring calendar The June slot places the forum in the closing stretch of the spring private capital circuit, after the main Paris and Amsterdam conference cluster winds down and before the summer recess. Montreux, in the Swiss Romand region, sits outside the primary conference cities of the EMEA circuit, which gives the forum a degree of physical separation from the denser autumn gatherings. The two-day format is pitched at participants willing to travel specifically for this event rather than combining it with adjacent meetings in a larger urban hub. ## What separates the World Family Office Forum Europe from larger LP gatherings The event is not positioned as a broad LP and GP matchmaking summit. Its ceiling of roughly 100 attendees, its complimentary access model for qualified family office principals, and its thematic focus on family wealth (governance, succession, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence applied to investment) distinguish it from generalist private equity forums. Exhibitors and sponsors, numbering approximately 40 according to the organiser, represent asset managers and service providers seeking direct access to this specific population, not institutional allocators in the pension or sovereign wealth fund sense. ## Who attends the World Family Office Forum Europe - Family office principals: single-family office directors and senior decision-makers, the primary target audience, admitted on a complimentary basis subject to qualification review. - Business owners and entrepreneurs: principals of private, often family-controlled businesses exploring investment and succession questions. - Presidents and CEOs of family-affiliated structures, as described by the organiser. - Asset managers: exhibiting or sponsoring firms seeking access to the family office community. - Service providers and advisors: legal, tax, fiduciary, and wealth advisory firms attending as exhibitors or paying delegates. - Placement agents: intermediaries representing fund managers to family office capital. ## What the World Family Office Forum Europe format includes - Two days of conference sessions with approximately 29 speakers. - An exhibition area hosting approximately 40 asset managers and service providers, according to the organiser. - Networking dinners, providing structured evening access beyond the main programme. - An advance scheduling mechanism: LP applications are reviewed by the organiser before access is granted. The event does not publicly disclose a stage count, a breakdown of session types (panel, keynote, roundtable), or the specific names of sessions in the 2026 programme. Whether a dedicated LP-only congress or a co-investment-specific track operates alongside the main programme is not confirmed in available source material. ## How meetings are scheduled at the World Family Office Forum Europe The forum operates an application-required access model. Family office principals submit an application reviewed by Connect Group before receiving an invitation. This pre-screening is the primary mechanism for controlling audience quality. The organiser notes advance scheduling of meetings as available, which implies some form of pre-arranged bilateral meeting capacity. No dedicated matchmaking application has been disclosed. Evening networking dinners extend the contact surface beyond formal session hours. The intimate scale, roughly 100 attendees across two days, functions as the structural meeting system: with that population density, informal access to speakers and counterparts is a function of the format itself rather than a software layer. ## What the World Family Office Forum Europe programme covers The 2026 programme has not been published in detail. The thematic areas declared by the organiser are: - Family office strategy and governance, including succession planning and wealth preservation structures. - Investment financing and portfolio strategy for family capital. - Artificial intelligence applied to investment management and family office operations. - Entrepreneurship and the intersection of business ownership with family wealth. - Networking, treated explicitly as a programme dimension rather than a side element. --- ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is the World Family Office Forum Europe and who is it for? The World Family Office Forum Europe is a two-day, application-based forum for single-family office principals, wealthy business owners, and the advisors and asset managers who serve them. It is produced by Connect Group and held annually in Montreux, Switzerland. The 2026 edition is the fourth Swiss iteration. The event is oriented towards a European audience of family wealth decision-makers, with thematic coverage spanning investment strategy, governance, succession, entrepreneurship, and AI. ### How large is the event and what does that mean in practice? The organiser reports approximately 100 participants. With roughly 40 of those being exhibiting asset managers and service providers, the effective family office principal population in any given edition is a fraction of that total. The small scale is a deliberate format choice: it enables direct access to speakers and principals that a 500-person conference would not. The trade-off is that the event does not function as a broad market survey. ### Who is the World Family Office Forum Europe NOT designed for? Several profiles are a poor fit. First, institutional LPs such as pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds: the event addresses family office capital specifically and does not position itself within the broader institutional LP circuit. Second, fund managers seeking LP breadth across many mandate types: the audience is concentrated around a single capital type, and the 40-exhibitor ceiling limits the commercial surface. Third, mid-market private equity or venture capital managers whose strategies do not overlap with family office allocation priorities: family offices in this forum context skew towards direct investment, succession, and wealth preservation rather than blind-pool fund commitments. Fourth, practitioners seeking passive conference attendance: the application requirement and intimate scale assume active participation and willingness to be identified. Fifth, delegates based outside Europe for whom a Montreux trip generates a disproportionate travel cost relative to the meeting volume available at roughly 100 attendees. ### What is the relationship between the exhibitors and the family office principals at this event? Approximately 40 of the roughly 100 attendees are exhibiting asset managers or service providers, according to the organiser. These firms pay to access the family office principal population. The principals attend on a complimentary basis, subject to qualification review, which is a standard model in invitation-based family office forums: the commercial load is carried by the supply side (managers, advisors, service firms), while the demand side (family capital) is incentivised to attend by removing the fee barrier. This structure means the forum functions as a curated distribution channel for the exhibiting firms. --- ## The venue: Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel The Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel is a Belle Époque lakeside property on the shores of Lake Geneva, opened in 1906. It sits at the centre of Montreux's waterfront, within the canton of Vaud in the Swiss Romand region. The hotel is among the largest and most formally appointed properties on the Riviera Vaudoise, with ballroom and breakout capacity suitable for a forum of this scale. The lakeside setting and the hotel's historical associations with private gatherings make it a consistent choice for invitation-based events targeting high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth audiences. Montreux is accessible from Geneva Airport in approximately 75 minutes by train. ## The organiser: Connect Group Connect Group is a Swiss commercial events operator specialising in forums and summits for the family office and ultra-high-net-worth wealth community. It produces the World Family Office Forum Europe and positions this Montreux edition as its Swiss flagship within that series. The group's founding year, city of registration, and full portfolio size are not publicly disclosed. The organiser self-describes as a specialist in events for "ultra-" family wealth audiences, though the source material does not complete that description. Connect Group operates the event website at `europe.worldfamilyofficeforum.com` and handles both registration and sponsorship inquiries directly. --- ## Editorial take *At roughly 100 attendees, the World Family Office Forum Europe is better understood as a structured access mechanism for the single-family office principal community than as a conference, and its complimentary admission model for qualified principals makes that commercial logic explicit.* --- ## How to register and what it costs Family office principals who meet the organiser's qualification criteria attend on a complimentary basis. Applications are reviewed by Connect Group before access is confirmed; attendance is not open to self-registration without prior review. Exhibitor and sponsor rates vary by package and are not publicly disclosed. Service provider and advisor delegate rates are also not published on the event website as of the verification date. All registration and inquiry traffic is directed to `https://europe.worldfamilyofficeforum.com/`. Prospective sponsors and exhibitors are asked to contact Connect Group directly for commercial terms. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://europe.worldfamilyofficeforum.com/ | | Register / Apply | https://europe.worldfamilyofficeforum.com/ | | Programme | not disclosed | | Sponsorship enquiries | not disclosed | --- ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How does the application process work for family office principals? Prospective family office attendees submit an application through the event website. Connect Group reviews each application before confirming an invitation. The specific qualification criteria are not published, but the organiser indicates the target population as principals of single-family offices, presidents, and CEOs of family-affiliated structures. Complimentary admission is conditional on passing that review; it is not an automatic benefit of the family office title. ### When should I apply or book for the June 2026 edition? No publicly stated registration deadline or capacity warning appears in available source material as of the verification date. Given the 100-person ceiling and the application-review model, early submission is advisable. Contact details and the application form are available at `https://europe.worldfamilyofficeforum.com/`. ### Are exhibitor and sponsor rates published? Exhibitor, sponsor, and standard service provider or advisor delegate rates are not publicly disclosed on the event website. The organiser asks interested parties to contact Connect Group directly to discuss commercial packages. A minimum stand price is also not available in public source material. ### Is there a networking app or digital meeting-scheduling tool? No official networking application has been confirmed for the World Family Office Forum Europe as of the verification date. Advance meeting scheduling is offered, with LP applications reviewed by the organiser as part of the access process, but the technical channel through which pre-arranged meetings are coordinated is not publicly specified. --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-04 **Next review:** 2026-06-03 **Notes:** Source material is a mix of organiser self-reported data and raw description fields; the `speakers_count` field in the source carries a value of 3, which conflicts with the repeated reference to approximately 29 speakers across format and programme fields; the approximately 29 figure is used throughout as the more substantiated and consistently cited value; the raw description refers to a "6ème édition" while the edition number field records the 2026 event as the fourth Swiss edition; this fiche follows the edition number field (4th edition) and treats "sixième édition" as potentially counting an earlier non-Swiss or global series; AUM represented, LP and GP sub-counts, and international visitor share are not disclosed; concept definition block not applicable on this event (generalist family office forum, no single technical instrument requiring definition). **Variables:** 40/58 **Concept definition:** not applicable --- # Source: https://eventsindex.org/index.md # Last verified: 2026-05-08 # Events Index Events Index est le référentiel éditorial des événements professionnels en EMEA (Europe, Moyen-Orient, Afrique), toutes verticales confondues.

The published agenda (keynotes, panels, thematic sessions) functions primarily as the social contract that gives participants a legitimate reason to be in the room. The real work happens elsewhere. These gatherings are structured capital markets in physical form. What gets transacted, in face-to-face meetings compressed over two or three days, is fundraising activity, allocation decisions, and the commercial relationships that precede both. A managing partner does not travel to learn about the asset class. He travels because a significant concentration of qualified allocators will be in the same building for forty-eight hours, and that density makes commercially possible in one week what would otherwise take several months. ## Who is in the room Two principal populations orbit the EMEA private capital circuit. **General Partners (GPs)** are fund managers raising and deploying capital across private equity, venture capital, private debt, infrastructure, and real assets. **Limited Partners (LPs)** are the institutional allocators subscribing to those funds: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, family offices, and funds of funds. A third group provides the connective tissue: placement agents, fund administrators, legal counsel, prime brokers, and advisory firms. Their presence at an event signals its commercial density. Events that draw significant service provider attendance are events where transaction activity is expected. ## How the room actually works Most top-tier events operate structured meeting systems alongside the main programme: pre-scheduled one-to-one or small-group sessions between GPs and LPs. These formats are frequently the primary product. The published sessions matter less than what they enable in the margins. Satellite activity carries equivalent weight. Host dinners, invitation-only briefings, and closed roundtables organised by placement agents around the main event. The most consequential private capital conversations take place at tables of ten, not on stages of five hundred. Access conditions reflect this logic. Most first-tier events apply qualification processes: LPs are invited or screened, GPs pay tiered rates, service providers are selectively admitted. Audience composition is itself the product: the primary variable separating one event from another. ## The seasonal structure The circuit follows a recognisable rhythm that senior practitioners internalise early. **Winter (January–February)** opens the European season. Portfolio year-end close and Q1 allocation decisions set the backdrop. LPs define their priorities; GPs position for the fundraising season ahead. The Côte d'Azur has anchored this opening window for over a decade. **Spring (March–June)** is the season of strategy-specific conversations. Private debt forums in London, venture conferences in Amsterdam, family office summits in Geneva and Montreux. General market positioning gives way to asset-class-by-asset-class gatherings. **Autumn (September–November)** is the densest window. The major generalist LP-GP summits concentrate here, with Paris and Amsterdam as the primary anchors. Frankfurt, London, and Helsinki complete the circuit across six weeks. Senior practitioners block the entire period. **December** closes quietly. The market focuses on year-end closes. An LP choosing between two events in the same week is making a deliberate allocation of his most constrained resource: qualified face time with peers and managers. Events compete for the same audience, and their relative positioning is part of their identity. ## The 2026 context The circuit is operating in an environment shaped by the end of the zero-rate period. Fundraising timelines have lengthened: funds that closed in eighteen months in 2021 are now taking thirty to thirty-six. LP liquidity has become the central conversation. Distributions from existing portfolios are running below historical norms, and many institutional investors are over-allocated to private markets relative to their policy benchmarks. GP-led secondaries, NAV financing, continuation vehicles, and co-investment structures dominate the substantive agenda at 2026 gatherings. The growth of private credit as a mainstream institutional allocation has shifted audience composition and generated a distinct layer of dedicated private debt events alongside the traditional PE and VC calendar. ## Trends 2027 Several structural shifts visible in 2026 are likely to shape the circuit's composition through 2027. The denominator effect that drove LP over-allocation through 2022–2024 is gradually unwinding as public equity valuations stabilise, opening room for fresh commitments. Funds raised in 2021 at peak multiples are approaching their expected realisation windows, which will define distribution levels and condition LP re-up appetite heading into the next fundraising cycle. Private credit is completing its transition from a specialist track to a mainstream allocation category. By 2027, dedicated private debt forums are expected to match PE in programme depth and LP attendance, a shift already visible in the expansion of the London autumn calendar since 2024. Infrastructure debt and specialty finance are generating distinct audience communities, likely to support new standalone events or significantly expanded tracks at existing generalist gatherings. The geographic footprint of the circuit is extending. Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and Gulf-based family offices have become a consistent presence at pan-European GP-LP events; dedicated GCC-facing editions from European organisers (BVCA, IPEM, Apex) signal that the Abu Dhabi and Dubai slots will carry greater weight through 2027. Asian LP participation in EMEA-anchored events, historically limited to flagship gatherings, is broadening across the mid-tier circuit. AI-assisted due diligence and portfolio monitoring are moving from pilot to operational at a number of GPs. The impact on conference programming will be indirect but visible: technology and operational topics that were confined to back-office panels in 2024 are migrating to main-stage sessions, and a new cohort of specialist gatherings at the intersection of private markets and AI is forming alongside the established calendar. ## Methodology and data standards Each event record in this index is built from primary source verification only. Where information is not available from the organiser's own materials, the field is left blank. We do not estimate, interpolate, or carry forward data from prior editions. When an organiser publishes attendance figures, AUM represented, or LP-GP ratios, these are recorded and explicitly flagged as self-declared. They are not independently verified. Figures not attributed to a named source are not published. Each record carries a last-verified date. Records are reviewed on a rolling cycle tied to the event calendar: fiches for events with an upcoming edition within ninety days are prioritised. Records that have not been reviewed within twelve months are flagged for re-verification before being surfaced in search results. The index does not publish rankings, scores, or editorial recommendations between comparable events. Where two events serve similar audiences in overlapping calendar slots, both are listed without comparative judgement. **What this index does not cover.** Internal firm roadshows and GP-hosted LP days are excluded: they are not open-market events. Webinars and virtual-only formats are outside scope for the current version. Events for which no primary source material is publicly accessible are listed as stubs only, with no data fields populated.
