London Venture Capital Summit 2027
Europe’s premier forum for VCs, LPs, and innovators
Friday 14 May 2027 | Guildhall, City of London
Once a year, Europe’s venture capital industry gathers in London.
On 14 May 2027, Guildhall will open its fifteenth-century halls to 1,800 guests, including 1,000 investors and allocators, for a single day spanning venture capital, private capital, and public markets.
Investors and allocators attend for LP roundtables, co-investment discussions, private meetings, and the Summit’s VIP lounge. Recent editions have welcomed senior figures from the New York Stock Exchange, the British Business Bank, and leading European funds, alongside sovereign wealth, family offices, and institutional capital from around the world.
Fund managers meet the institutions allocating to venture, from pension funds and funds of funds to strategic investors, through sessions built around the LP-GP relationship.
Founders enter a room where more than half the guests are investors. The London Pitch Competition, national pavilions, exhibition stands, and curated networking spaces will run throughout Guildhall’s historic rooms and crypts.
Across five stages, 180 speakers will address the questions defining private markets: the state of global and UK venture, AI and sovereign compute, defence and resilience, secondaries and liquidity, LP allocation trends, and the path from private capital to public markets.
The Summit anchors London VC Week, taking place from 10 to 14 May 2027: five days of official engagements across the capital, including the Allocators’ Evening, London Tech Day, the Summit, and the official afterparty.
The 2026 Summit sold out. Early registration is advised.
