For more than a decade, we have hosted what has become the biggest private equity and venture capital industry event of the year.
The BVCA's Annual Gala Dinner returns this year to bring together hundreds of members, their colleagues and clients for an evening of networking, socialising and entertainment in the heart of London.
Whilst 2010 has been a challenging year for the industry as it faces economic, political and regulatory challenges, the industry has shown an admirable capacity to adapt swiftly to radically different times and has experienced numerous success stories.
For years the industry has come together for the BVCA's Annual Gala Dinner so join us to celebrate, network and meet with colleagues and friends at this unique industry event.
In light of the extraordinary political shift that we have seen this year, Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor, will be our keynote speaker.
Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor
A former Deputy Editor of both 'Panorama' and 'On The Record', Nick is a rare example of someone who's switched from working behind the camera to working in front of it.
Nick joined the BBC as a production trainee in 1986 and worked on 'This Week', 'Next Week', 'Crimewatch'.
In 2002, Robinson left the BBC for ITN as ITV News' Political Editor. He returned to the BBC in 2005, replacing Andrew Marr.

AON
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Risk Management
Higher demand for returns, tougher competition and a general lack of liquidity are making private equity and corporate M&A more risk averse than ever. With credit institutions more demanding and investors more aware, there's also greater pressure for accurate facts, figures and forecasts. Meanwhile, globalisation and cross-border proliferation means private equity houses and corporates are dealing in unfamiliar sectors and regions. At Aon, we can help you create sustainable value in your mergers, acquisitions and disposals from entry to exit.
Why choose Aon's Mergers and Acquisitions Group?
With our specialist risk management thinking, we can provide you with real solutions across all your sectors and regions at every stage of the deal and fund cycle. From fund creation to fund closing, we use creative insurance solutions to help you get that deal over the line or to give you a competitive advantage in an auction process.
What services does Aon offer?
We provide comprehensive M&A services to private equity and corporations, working with clients pre-acquisition through integration to carve-out. We'll work with you and your advisers to identify, quantify and manage a wide range of pre and post-transaction risks. Our insurance and human capital solutions include:
The team
