Over 700 LPs, GPs and Service Providers from more than 200 organizations from around the world attended this year’s ILPA Summit in New York, the 20th year of this flagship ILPA event.
Among the attendees were organizations who have attended the ILPA Summit regularly for the last two decades.
“Twenty years of bringing this network together; that’s thousands of meetings and PE professionals through the Summit doors,” said ILPA CEO Jennifer Choi in her welcoming remarks. “What [ILPA] is most proud of is hard to measure. We’re proud of this network—this community—we’ve built and the caliber of conversation and engagement that happens when we’re all together in this setting.”
“We hope what you gain at the ILPA Summit are lasting connections, partnerships and the know-how to set you up for success in your day-to-day.”
Over the course of the event, ILPA facilitated more than 1,100 LP/GP meetings based on mutual preferences; while these high-quality meetings have become a hallmark of the ILPA Summit over the years, they are just one part of this dynamic event.
Before the official Summit program even began, ILPA hosted dinners for LP members in its family office and insurance networks.
The ILPA Diversity in Action initiative held its November Roundtable with LP and GP signatories, featuring a fireside chat with James Rhee, investor and bestselling author of Red Helicopter: Lead Change with Kindness (Plus a Little Math).
ILPA hosted early career LP professionals for the ILPA Institute’s Private Equity for the Limited Partner workshop. Concurrently, ILPA held LP-only sessions on AI and portfolio construction, and later, roundtables on LPACs and conflicts of interest.
A fireside chat celebrated 20 years of the ILPA Summit and the ever-evolving state of Private Equity.
ILPA CEO Jen Choi also led a candid chat with CalPERS CIO Stephen Gilmore before learning lunches on market opportunities in Asia and impact investing.
From the annual LP-only dinner to networking breaks, attendees had ample time for meeting their peers and reconnecting with old friends.
“I look forward to the ILPA Summit every year because it’s always felt like a reunion of sorts; I feel a part of something when I’m here with you,” said Choi, in her remarks. “Here’s to our next 20 years of the ILPA Summit, to leaning in together, to evolution, and to growth.”
Registration is already open for the ILPA Summit Europe (April 29-30 in London). The ILPA Summit will return to New York next fall; mark your calendar for November 4-6, 2025.
