PEA Fundraising Forum – Virtual Event

INNOVATING AFRICAN FUNDRAISING 

Raising the Next Generation of African Funds

Overview

As fundraising for Africa plummets to record lows, with about 58% of GPs missing fund targets in the recent cycle, innovating strategies has become a timely discussion.

The Private Equity Africa (PEA) Fundraising Forum is a practical ‘how-to’ event that offers master classes, expert panel discussions and data analysis to help GPS reposition fundraising strategies for success in global markets.

This popular half-day forum has previously been hosted as a physical event in the UK and US, and will this year be delivered virtually as a data-focused event.
