This year’s theme, “Winning the Long Game”, sets the stage for another high-calibre edition, with leading voices such as Lionel Assant, Global Co-CIO of Blackstone, and Valérie Baudson, CEO of Amundi, headlining the agenda. With more than 6,000 delegates expected – including 1,600 international LPs and 900 GP firms – IPEM Paris remains the industry’s ultimate meeting ground to reinforce networks, exchange on deals, and debate the big themes shaping private markets in 2025. The action starts tomorrow evening on the hallowed turf of the Parc des Princes: a fitting kick-off for an event that feels more like a global village than a conference. As autumn begins, can you think of a better place to get inspired? Game on!
