b'ILPA ANNUAL REPORT 20216ILPA Through the YearsILPAs origins, as an informal networking club of LPs that first met in airport lounges and then in members conference rooms, belie its status today as the leading industry association for LPs. Even since its founding in 2002 with just 79 LP member organizations, largely based in North America, ILPA has grown to a truly global organization with 575 members stretching across 53 countries. This remarkable evolution is further underscored by the network of leading managers it calls upon today to contribute to joint industry efforts and standards and its place at the table with global policymakers as they make decisions that impact private markets. This transformational change is credit to the vision and dedication of an extraordinary community of practitioners and ILPA team members and the work that they have undertaken together over the last 20 years.Explore some of ILPAs most notable achievements in this reports 20-year timeline.2000 ILPA is founded with 79 member organizations and holds, 2002for the first time, the ILPA Members Conference in Toronto.ILPA MCON has found a home in Chicago since 2016, pictured ILPA MCON 20192004 ILPA launches ILPA.org to help improve communications with 2005 members and increase access to information.2005 ILPA holds the first GP Summit bringing together LPs and GPs to build relationships and discuss critical industry issues.10th Annual ILPA Summit, 2014 NYC 2007 ILPA opens its first office in Toronto, signifying a major step towards expanding the organizations staff to serve a growing member base.
