This is the second edition of IPEM Paris. After a highly successful launch in 2023, this edition of IPEM Paris is expected to count over 6000 participants. In Paris, the attendees will be treated to a wide range of panels, across a main conference room and three summit rooms. There will also be two breakout rooms. The opening day (9th September) will see a day dedicated to LPs, followed by two days of panels (10th and 11th), with discussions such as What it takes to be an “all weather” investor and The promises (and risks) of AI for PE investors and many more set to grab the audience’s attention and inspiring discussion and reflection.
Antoine Colson, CEO and Managing Partner at IPEM, commenting on the event, said,
“Investing demands trust in your instincts and market conditions, but recent years have been turbulent for private capital. From fluctuating interest rates to geopolitical and tech disruptions, it’s been a wild ride. While some investors double down, others trim their allocations. Valuing assets and closing deals is trickier than ever for GPs. Major themes like ESG and climate investing take a backseat amid acute challenges. Against the iconic Eiffel Tower, symbolising strength and resilience, IPEM Paris 2024 will gather industry leaders to dive deep, debate fiercely and, most importantly, forge ahead with confidence!”
