ILPA Summit Europe Emerging Manager Showcase
Overview
This highly selective event mirrors our proven, efficient ILPA Summit process with a carefully curated group of Emerging Managers. With much success after our launch in 2020, we hosted the event annually, delivering unprecedented value to limited and general partners from around the world. We will return 29-30 April 2025 at the Waldorf London and to greet old friends and new! Thank you to those who joined us!
How Does the Event Work?
The Emerging Manager Showcase will feature up-and-coming managers for LP attendees to meet in carefully coordinated group sessions running simultaneously with the main ILPA Summit Europe event on 29-30 April. Each manager has an exclusive meeting with LPs during 40-minute periods, offering a deeper dive meeting opportunity. Your ILPA Summit experience includes two days of content, networking events and a custom meeting schedule based on your preferences.
An Unparalleled Experience for Up-and-Coming Managers
- Exclusive access to the world’s most powerful LPs
- 1X1 scheduled meeting time slots with face-to-face meetings in addition to plenty of ad-hoc networking
- The ILPA uses a sophisticated matching tool to generate meetings based on mutual interest that will create a personalized meeting itinerary
- All LP attendees are high-quality, accredited institutional investors
- Compelling content and multiple opportunities to engage with fellow PE professionals over coffee and cocktails
- 80% of participating GPs participating in the November Summit made anywhere from 4-8 new relationships while the remaining 20% can attribute 9+ new relationships to this year’s Summit
- Long-time Summit participants attribute multiple commitments and re-ups based on their participation at the Summit
