Conference Cancelled
It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of this year’s Forum due to the impact of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This is not a decision we have taken lightly and the overriding concern that have caused us to make this decision at this time has always been the responsibility we feel towards our conference delegates, speakers, and partners.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but as always, the safety and health of our participants, community and staff are our priority and we feel this is the best option.

PartnerConnect is a great way to connect with as many GPs and LPs in private equity. It is an opportunity to meet new investors and reconnect with GPs to close deals. The LP-GP ExecConnect is extremely efficient and well organized. One is able to meet with as many potential partners within a 1-2 day period.

Clarion Capital Partners, LLC
Over the last 4 years I have tried out most of the conferences that bring LP’s and GP’s together. The only one I still attend is PartnerConnect due to the consistent quality of the LP’s, quality of the speakers and the efficient use of time. I typically meet 50+ people that I know as well as new LP’s that I have not met before over a 2 day period. The one on one meetings organized by the PartnerConnect team has produced some valuable new relationships and is a great use of time due to the professionalism of the staff organizing the event. I have not missed one of their meetings in the last 3 years and always put them on my calendar as soon as I have the dates for next year.
The ExecConnect Private Meeting Program:
- Connects LPs actively looking to commit capital with GPs who are fundraising or seeking to build new LP relationships
- Meetings are 20-min, private, and curated by conference directors based on detailed investor profiles
- Over 11,000 LP-GP meetings facilitated to date, with 2700+ in 2018 alone
- Billions of dollars raised with past commitments ranging from a few million dollars to larger checks as high as $100 million
If you’re an LP- ExecConnect gives you the opportunity to meet and screen new GP’s in a time-efficient, personalized manner. Instead of looking over spreadsheets and pitchbooks, you’re able to hand-pick a schedule of face to face meetings from a selection of 50-60 PE and VC fund managers of various sizes and strategies.
LPs who take three 20-min meetings, attend our event complimentary, as well as our LP dinners and workshops.
If you’re a GP- As a participant in our ExecConnect program, simply show up on-site, and you’ll have a roster of 1:1 LP meetings arranged through our proprietary match-making system. The LP’s who participate in ExecConnect are decision-makers at Pensions, Endowments, Foundations, Insurance Companies, Fund of Funds and more.
