Audience

Institutional LPs, Pension funds, Fund-of-funds.

What to expect

The published programme centres on lp–gp meetings, fund terms, emerging managers. The audience includes Institutional LPs, Pension funds, Fund-of-funds, so conversations can cover both manager opportunities and the practical portfolio questions around them.

Notable about this edition

The 2026 format asks LPs and GPs to rank meeting preferences, and ILPA says the top-ranked 90 GP applicants will be invited. The point is not open-floor networking: the organiser is deliberately building meetings around mutual interest.

Why it may matter to an LP

For a venture LP, the strongest use of the summit is to compare how peers handle manager selection, emerging-manager exposure, reporting and LP–GP alignment before applying those lessons to a specific commitment.

Use the detail to strengthen a repeatable review process
