[City] · [Date], during [IPEM / SuperReturn] week
Built around conversation rather than panels. Priced at cost. No sponsor agenda.
Register interestWhy this format
Different by design
Conversation first
There are few panels, because most people come to talk to each other, and the day is built around that.
LPs make the first move
LPs contact the managers they want to meet, so managers aren’t working the room and LPs aren’t being cold-pitched.
Priced at cost
Managers and LPs pay the same modest fee, and the Forum aims to break even, not make a profit.
No sponsor agenda
Partner firms help cover costs but have no say over who attends or what’s discussed.
Your data stays yours
Registration details are never sold or used for marketing.
One trip, two events
