ILPA Launches Industry Calendar for Global Private Equity Events
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Joint Venture with Veil Delivers Comprehensive Intelligence on World-Wide
Conferences for LPs and GPs
TORONTO, WASHINGTON and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The
Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) today announced the launch of
the ILPA Industry Calendar, a joint-venture with Veil, a tech-enabled service
provider for the private equity industry. The Calendar's goal is to
comprehensively organize in one place the 200+ annual events focused on private
equity and/or real assets for LPs and GPs. All industry participants have
complimentary access to the Calendar and can quickly view event dates and
venues, compare metrics, and click to register on the respective organizer
websites. Private equity event organizers have the option of a free listing or
can upgrade to provide site visitors with more detailed information about the
conferences they are hosting.
"The ILPA Industry Calendar is an intelligence tool for not only the 3000+
professionals who are members of our organization, but all participants in the
private equity ecosystem as they research and plan conference attendance and
corresponding travel," said Peter Freire, CEO of the ILPA. "One thing we know
is that LPs and GPs are busier than ever before. Having access to a single
source that delivers a full suite of up-to-date information about the events in
our industry will be a significant time saver and allow professionals to plan
more efficiently going forward."
The ILPA has collaborated closely with Charlotte-based Veil to launch the
Calendar with the following set of initial features:
* Continual updates to capture all private equity, credit, and real assets
events occurring within a rolling 12-month window
* Filtered events by nearby city, keyword, dates, and industry tags
* Unique details of events including tenure, cost, and LP/GP/Service Provider
ratios
* One-click access to agendas, registration pages, complimentary passes (when
available), and lodging discounts
* Attendee Search feature to research attributes of event speakers and
panelists (free for ILPA members, fee for other industry participants)
Jim Hardin, founder of Veil and lead developer of the Calendar, shared his
excitement about the potential opportunity for those professionals who take
advantage of the site:
"LPs and GPs do not have easy and timely access to information regarding private
equity events that take place around the world," said Hardin. "These investors
may be traveling to a city for meetings and have no idea of the industry events
being held there at that time. We hope to optimize their travel planning by
delivering comprehensive private equity event intelligence that helps
professionals make optimal choices."
All industry participants may view the ILPA Industry Calendar
at www.ILPAcalendar.org. Organizers wishing to list qualified events on the
calendar should contact Jim Hardin at info(at)ilpacalendar.org.
