Operating Partners Forum Europe
May 20-21, 2026
Convene 155 Bishopsgate, London
Harness value creation in a changing market
PEI’s Operating Partners Forums are purpose-built for PE value creators to connect, compare, and address the real challenges of creating and sustaining portfolio company growth.
Participation is carefully vetted and limited to full-time operating partners, senior portfolio operations leaders, and select value creation partners, with the experience designed around small-group, peer-to-peer exchange.
At this critical point in the economic cycle, the Operating Partners Forum Europe unites Europe’s OP community to address value creation under today’s market and execution realities.
“The first and largest event focused on the role of the OP and value creation. Great mix of attendees makes it the best networking event.”
