Event overview
The BVCA is committed to shaping the next generation of private capital leaders. In addition to our established offering: learning & development, events, policy, and research, we’re excited to be building a vibrant community of emerging professionals.
To support this, we are launching a new event series exclusively for alumni who have completed one of our learning & development courses. These invite-only gatherings will foster meaningful connections, encourage cross-firm networking, and help build relationships that support your career journey.
Target audience
This initiative is aimed at individuals across private capital who have completed BVCA learning & development courses and are in the early stages of their careers in private capital. These events will serve as a platform for continued engagement and community-building among this cohort. Preference will be to those who have completed one of our foundation courses.
