What IPEM does

IPEM is a Paris-headquartered, privately-held relationship broker for the global private capital industry, operating a platform-plus-events business model. The company organizes five recurring international and regional events — IPEM Global (Paris), IPEM Future (Dubai), IPEM Wealth (Cannes), IPEM Asia (Hong Kong), and P&I x IPEM Private Markets (Chicago, co-branded with Pensions & Investments) — which together attract thousands of LPs, GPs, placement agents, advisors, and asset managers. IPEM Global alone expects 6,000+ participants from 100+ countries at the Palais des Congrès in September 2026, with hundreds of firms exhibiting.

Underlying the events is a digital platform stack comprising the IPEM Account system (event database, LP/GP profiles, networking tools, meeting scheduling, LP certification), the IPEM Community hub (topics, videos, TV interviews, the Weekly Spin newsletter), and the IPEM Experience layer (bespoke research, strategic intelligence, curated engagement programs). The LP Congress is an allocator-only forum embedded within IPEM Global.

IPEM monetizes through visitor passes (€3,400 for GPs/placement agents/M&A/asset managers; €3,900 for advisors and business services, with early-bird discounts), exhibitor booths across three levels and configurations, premium sponsorship packages, and ancillary LP-facing services (complimentary for certified institutional investors, MIFID II-compliant). Go-to-market is event-driven with year-round digital reinforcement via the Community platform and weekly newsletter; the company leverages co-hosting partnerships with DIFC and Pensions & Investments plus endorsements from AVCA, BVCA, France Invest, and LPEA. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; ownership is undisclosed; the company has no disclosed funding rounds or parent.

Direct peers

• With Intelligence: With Intelligence (formerly AIMA events and broader institutional investor events) hosts subscription and event products for allocators, hedge fund managers, and private market participants. Its LP-targeted events and intelligence products directly overlap IPEM's LP Congress and IPEM Community offerings.
• PEI Media: PEI Media operates Private Equity International, the leading PE trade publication, and runs events and awards for the global PE industry including the PEI Awards and LP/GP conferences. It is a direct competitor in producing B2B PE content and convening the same LP/GP audience that IPEM targets.
• Mergermarket (ION Group): Mergermarket, part of ION Group, runs M&A and deal-related events and intelligence products. While more M&A-focused than PE-fundraising focused, it serves the same advisor and placement-agent buyer personas that IPEM courts and competes for sponsorship and pass revenue.
• Informa: Informa runs major alternative-investment event franchises including the SuperReturn series, which is the most established PE/alternatives conference portfolio globally. It competes directly with IPEM for GP and LP attendance, sponsorship dollars, and exhibitor booth sales across Europe, North America, and Asia.
• Preqin: Preqin provides alternative assets data, research, and events for institutional investors and fund managers. Its LP-targeted conferences and LP/GP matching data products overlap with IPEM's database, matchmaking platform, and event-driven GP-LP connection model.
• bfinance: bfinance provides investment research and advisory services to institutional investors, including manager research across private markets. It addresses the same LP audience and manager-selection pain points that drive IPEM's LP Congress attendance and LP package monetization.

Others

• BVCA (British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association): BVCA is the UK PE/VC industry association that hosts its own annual events and networking functions for LPs and GPs. It is a partner-supporter of IPEM but also runs competing regional networking events that capture a portion of the UK LP/GP audience.
• France Invest: France Invest is the French PE industry association and a listed IPEM industry partner. It organizes its own networking events and represents a potential adjacency (association-led events) that competes for the same French LP/GP community IPEM serves from its Paris headquarters.

Emerging players

• PitchBook (Morningstar): PitchBook provides alternative assets data and research with emerging event and networking products for PE professionals. While primarily a data platform, its growing event and LP/GP matching efforts position it as an emerging player in IPEM's space of connecting PE market participants.

Broad incumbents

• Euromoney Institutional Investor (Euromoney Conferences): Euromoney runs a broad portfolio of financial industry conferences and publications including investor-focused events. It is a broader incumbent whose institutional-investor events overlap IPEM's LP-targeting efforts but lacks IPEM's PE-specialist positioning.
