Where to Meet LPs: 35 Events Every Fund Manager Should Attend

Raising money for a VC fund isn’t just about having a great track record—it’s about knowing the right people. In fact, 70% of venture deals come from personal connections, not cold emails. Another study found that fund managers who regularly attend industry events raise 40% more capital than those who don’t.

Why? Because investors want to back people they trust. Meeting them face-to-face at events helps build those relationships faster. These gatherings are also a great way to learn what LPs are looking for, stay on top of industry trends, and get introductions that can lead to real commitments.

To save you time, We’ve put together a list of 35 events where fund managers can meet potential investors. Whether you're new to fundraising or looking to grow your network, these events can open doors.
