ILPA Forum EMEA 2026
ILPA Forum EMEA 2026 is an organiser-published event for investors, managers and advisers working across private markets and alternative investments.
About this event
Thanks for joining us at the ILPA Forum EMEA 2026 at the Waldorf Hilton London—a reimagined flagship event designed exclusively for the LP community. This year’s Forum featured expanded LP-only programming, curated content, and the introduction of LP-driven Meetings on Demand, ensuring every interaction was meaningful and strategic.
An environment where quality connections took precedence over volume, fostering authentic conversations and shared experiences. The agenda placed your priorities at the forefront, with deep dives into AI, Secondaries, Co-investments, Retail Capital, and critical sectors such as Technology, Healthcare, and Defence—topics currently shaping LP agendas.
Building on a recognisable yet evolving identity, the Forum blended dedicated LP-only time, sector-focused sessions, and curated LP–GP touchpoints, while maintaining a highly engaged experience without over-commercialisation.
Note that we offer priority registration to ILPA members, so if you haven’t yet joined us, now is your chance.
