How this list works

  • Dates come from each organiser's own website, checked on the date shown. Where an organiser has not published the next date, we say so rather than guess.
  • Within each category, events are listed by date.
  • Dates change. Confirm on the organiser's site before booking travel.
  • Vedekon has no commercial relationship with any vendor or organiser listed, and no link here is an affiliate link.

Getting value from a conference

For dealmakers, the agenda is the least valuable part of most conferences. The value is in the meetings arranged before you arrive: advisers with mandates, owners considering a sale, lenders, and the LPs or portfolio companies you need to see. Several middle-market events run formal one-to-one meeting programmes; at the large LP–GP conferences, most of the meetings happen in hotel lobbies around the venue. Decide in advance who you need to see, book the meetings, and log every conversation in your CRM before you fly home. Our guide to origination and sourcing covers how those conversations become a pipeline.
