Building on the success of our summer summit, this intimate winter gathering brings together the private markets' most experienced CFOs, COOs and other senior-level operational leaders to tackle the core of operations. Exchange practical solutions with a community of peers who understand the daily complexities of running a firm in the private markets.


Over three days in a relaxed resort setting, you'll engage in honest, focused discussions about what really works in private markets operations. From fund structuring to management company challenges, gain insights you can actually use in your day-to-day.

The only investment you need to make is a few days away from your desk.

The return is a network you'll draw on for years.

This summit is free to attend for GPs. Limited seats are available.

Priority is given to The Drawdown GP subscribers until 31 August 2026.
