2025 was another active year across the Invest Europe events calendar, with over 1,000 delegates from Europe and beyond participating in a high-quality programme combining data-driven insights, focused discussions and valuable networking opportunities. Throughout the year, our events continued to provide a non-commercial environment for members to connect, exchange perspectives and engage with key industry trends. The consistently positive feedback from participants highlights the importance of these events as a core service to our membership and a key platform for fostering meaningful dialogue across the private capital ecosystem.
As is tradition, the conference calendar started in Geneva in March with the annual Single Family Office Roundtable. This half-day programme brought together delegates from around Europe to explore long-term investment strategies in private equity and venture capital, reflecting the distinct positioning of SFOs within the investment landscape. Building on its continued success, a second edition was held alongside the Venture Capital Forum in Amsterdam. The closed-door, peer-to-peer format encouraged open and candid discussion among senior decision-makers, with participants highlighting the value of the intimate setting and the quality of exchanges. These roundtables further strengthened Invest Europe’s engagement with the SFO community and laid the foundation for continued development of this format.
The Investors’ Forum 2025, held in March in Geneva, once again brought together senior leaders from across the European private capital ecosystem for two days of high-level discussion and networking. The forum maintained its distinctive positioning as a curated, non-commercial environment, with strong engagement from both LPs and GPs and continued emphasis on content quality. Delegates particularly valued the calibre of speakers, the data-driven sessions, and the relevance of discussions focused on fundraising dynamics, liquidity constraints and portfolio strategy in a complex market environment. Satisfaction levels remained exceptionally high, reinforcing the Investors’ Forum as one of the most productive and insightful gatherings in the industry calendar.

The CFO Forum 2025, held in May in Estoril, brought together CFOs, COOs and senior finance professionals from across the European private capital industry for a focused and highly interactive programme. The event confirmed its role as a key platform for peer exchange on the evolving responsibilities of finance leaders, with discussions spanning digitalisation, regulatory complexity, liquidity management, and the growing strategic role of the CFO within investment firms. The forum’s intimate format continues to foster meaningful connections and practical knowledge sharing, with participants highlighting both the relevance of the topics and the openness of discussions.
The Venture Capital Forum 2025, held in October in Amsterdam, confirmed its role as a key gathering point for the European venture ecosystem, bringing together LPs, GPs and industry experts for two days of insight and exchange. The event recorded its highest level of registrations since 2022, reflecting renewed momentum across the venture landscape. The programme covered the full VC lifecycle, with particularly strong engagement around data-driven sessions, market outlook discussions and exit dynamics. The introduction of sector-focused roundtables was especially well received, reinforcing the value of smaller, interactive formats for peer learning. Networking remained a core strength of the forum, supported by curated moments and informal exchanges in a high-quality setting.
Following the success and growing popularity of our national and regional Chair’s dinners, we maintained momentum in 2025 with six dinners hosted throughout Europe. These events provide a privileged setting for exchange and discussion among senior leaders of member firms, while also offering an opportunity to share key data, initiatives and priorities from Invest Europe. They continue to serve as an important channel for direct engagement with members and for gathering valuable feedback on their evolving needs.
