EVCA 2013

The next Investors’ Forum takes place in what will be the EVCA’s 30th Anniversary year. It will take place on the 13th and 14th of March 2013 at the Hotel InterContinental in Geneva.

During this period the private equity industry has undergone enormous transformation and evolution alongside significant economic and political change throughout Europe. The LP and GP community face more and more challenges from regulators, politicians and the public at large, so it remains crucial that we take the time to come together to debate and prepare to meet these head on.

The Investors’ Forum is the key event which examines the relationship between the world’s major investors and their GPs. This year is no exception; GPs will have the chance to discover what keeps investors awake at night, through plenary sessions with LPs and intimate networking opportunities throughout the forum. Equally, investors can feel at ease in the LP-only sessions which allow them to drill down into where value is created.

The event:
Attracts investors representing over €300 billion of private equity allocations to Geneva for two days of high-level discussion
Observes a strict ratio of 1:1 between institutional investors and general partners
Is renowned for an LP-only working session where institutional investors may discuss their views freely
Enables GP and LP interaction throughout the course of the forum – including the LP/GP rotating networking dinner
