Dialogue Capital

What Dialogue Capital does

Dialogue Capital Ltd is a London-based, founder-led private company that operates curated investment summits and networking platforms for senior decision-makers in the global real assets sector. Its core products are two flagship annual forums: the Global Infrastructure Dialogue (GID), held in Frankfurt with capacity of 230 senior participants and priced at €2,697 per attendee, and the German Real Estate Dialogue (GReD), held in Frankfurt with capacity of 150 participants at €2,195 per attendee. The company also operates the Americas Infrastructure Dialogue in New York City and maintains a members-only online portal for registration, authentication, and post-event engagement.

The underlying technology stack is conventional event-management infrastructure: a Joomla-based corporate website, a username/password member portal, an event registration system with calendar export integrations (Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, iCal), and a forthcoming online platform intended to connect institutional investors and developers year-round. No proprietary AI, data, or matching technology is disclosed. The company is GDPR-compliant and registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (registration A8280167).

Dialogue Capital's business model combines per-attendee transaction revenue from event registration fees with sponsorship and partnership revenue from Platinum, Gold, and Supporting-tier partners across media organizations (Bloomberg, Moody's, Absolut Research, Portfolio Institutional), industry associations (GIIA), and financial institutions (Schroders, Ardian, Edmond de Rothschild, Eversheds Sutherland, pbb, Egis). Customers are predominantly institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, infrastructure fund managers, lenders, developers, and policymakers, served through curated, invitation-style access under Chatham House Rules. Founder Florentina Freise leads a lean team of 1-10 employees, and the company has operated without disclosed external funding since its 2014 incorporation.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Expo Real: Expo Real is an annual Munich-based real estate investment trade fair run by RX Global. Directly comparable as a European real estate investment event held in Germany, overlapping Dialogue Capital's GReD audience but operating at significantly larger and more inclusive scale.
• FT Live (Financial Times): FT Live is the Financial Times' events division running senior-focused summits across financial services, real estate and infrastructure. Comparable in targeting institutional decision-makers and in media-brand-driven curation, though spanning far more verticals and geographies.
• Reuters Events: Reuters Events organizes large-scale summits across financial services, capital markets and infrastructure. Comparable as a premium financial events brand targeting senior institutional audiences, but with much broader scope and resource base than Dialogue Capital.
• MIPIM (RX Global): MIPIM is the largest European real estate investment event, run by RX Global (part of RELX). A broad incumbent serving the same German/European real estate investor audience as GReD but at much larger scale and with mass-market rather than strictly senior-only positioning.
• Bloomberg Live: Bloomberg Live produces senior-level summits and forums across capital markets, asset management and infrastructure. Comparable in media-partnership model (Bloomberg is itself a GID partner) and senior-institutional audience targeting, but operates as part of a much larger media platform.

Direct peers

• iGlobal Forum: iGlobal Forum organizes invitation-only summits for institutional investors across alternatives including real estate, private equity and infrastructure. Directly comparable as a similarly-sized operator of senior-tier summits competing for the same institutional attendee wallet.
• IPEM (International Private Equity Market): IPEM runs curated European private markets events and a deal-matching platform for GPs, LPs and advisors. Highly comparable to Dialogue Capital's invitation-only format serving institutional investors and operators across alternatives, with overlap in target buyer profile.
• IMN (Information Management Network): IMN produces forums and conferences for institutional investors across real estate, infrastructure and capital markets. Comparable in its niche, senior-targeting conference model and recurring-event revenue approach, though broader in scope than Dialogue Capital's infrastructure/real assets focus.
• Forum Europe: Forum Europe designs invitation-only conferences and policy-business forums across Europe, frequently attended by senior decision-makers including financial institutions and policymakers. Closely comparable to GID's Chatham House Rule approach for senior infrastructure and finance participants.
• PEI Media (Infrastructure Investor): PEI Media operates the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit and related investor forums, the most direct analogue to Dialogue Capital's GID. Both serve senior institutional infrastructure investors with invitation-led events, awards, and media, but PEI Media operates at materially larger scale across multiple asset classes.
