For GPs who have hosted LP events - have you ever hosted joint events with other GPs who lived in your area? If so, how did they go?

I recently discovered that a few VC Lab cohort members live in the DC area. I am wondering about the effectiveness of planning LP events with other GPs. 

What’s more beneficial to GPs and more attractive to LPs - a larger joint event like a happy hour or a smaller, more intimate one like a dinner? Is it good to cross-pollinate potential LPs?

GP - LP events are very effective and are foundational to a succesful fundraising strategy. In order to maximize the effectiveness of your LP events:

1.  Invite LPs that have signed PACTs or have closed
2. Ask the LPs that have signed PACTs to invite a friend

Typically, intimate events convert significantly better. But the events must be curated correctly to ensure that prospective LPs receive an exclusive experience.
