ILPA Summit 2026
ILPA Summit is a major limited-partner event covering manager relationships, governance, industry standards and private-market allocation practice.
About this event
Each year, the ILPA Summit brings together LPs, GPs, and industry leaders for purposeful engagement shaped by the priorities of the institutional investors that comprise ILPA’s global membership community. Designed as a focused, high-quality convening, the Summit prioritizes intentional participation, efficient engagement, and meaningful institutional dialogue.
LP-only conversations, cohort-based learning opportunities, curated GP engagement, flexible networking, and timely educational programming create an environment built for stronger relationships, actionable insight, and long-term industry alignment.
Distinct from large commercial conferences, the Summit emphasizes quality over scale, collaborative participation, and meaningful engagement designed to maximize the value of attendees’ time onsite.
