The EVPA Annual Conference is the premier event of the year on venture philanthropy and social investment in Europe, attracting around 500 delegates annually.
The conference brings together a variety of players, including social investors, donors, foundations, private equity organisations, advisory firms, private banks, academic institutions and some selected social entrepreneurs. Recognised experts and practitioners identified by an international conference committee lead the various debates, panels and round tables.

We have made this year’s conference even more interactive allowing for more exchange and discussions.
We offer 28 breakout sessions with new panel formats which encourage your participation and a Forum in the networking area where you can discuss the topics that are of importance to you.
For the third year running we are organising a number of pitching sessions where social entrepreneurs will be pitching to investors.
We are also very excited about the great line-up!
