Research attendees. Most events publish speaker and attendee lists. Identify your top 10 targets. Use Decile Hub's LP Discovery tool to research which LPs align with your thesis before you arrive.

Reach out early. Don't wait until you're at the event. Send a brief note: "I'll be at [Event]. Would love to connect."

Prepare your thesis. You should be able to explain your fund in under 40 words. Practice with Decile Hub's AI Toolkit to refine your pitch.

Update your materials. Make sure your deck and one-pager are current.

Focus on conversations, not pitches. Ask questions. Learn what LPs are looking for.

Take notes. Document who you met, what you discussed, and any follow-ups. Log everything in your Decile Hub CRM immediately.

Don't oversell. LPs meet dozens of managers at these events. Be memorable by being genuine.

Attend the right sessions. Panels on LP perspectives and allocation trends are often more valuable than keynotes.

Follow up within 48 hours. A short email referencing your conversation.

Add to your CRM. Track the relationship in Decile Hub and set follow-up reminders.

Stay in touch. Add them to your newsletter. Share relevant updates quarterly.

A few events that aren't on the main circuit but are worth considering:

Regional LP summits - Many pension funds and endowments host their own events

University endowment conferences - Often overlooked but high-quality LP access

Family office gatherings - Smaller, invitation-only events with decision-makers

Venture Underground events - Decile Group's own GP/LP networking series in major cities

The managers who raise successfully don't leave LP relationships to chance. They plan their year around the events where they'll find the right investors for their fund.

Pick 3-5 events that align with your thesis and geography. Build relationships before you need them.
