Highlights included:
- LP/GP Speed Networking
Delegates were able to meet with 15 LPs in 15 minutes through a structured networking break that facilitated a quick business card exchange between interested parties.

Delegates had an exclusive opportunity to pitch their fund in 90 seconds to a panel of LPs who gave feedback on their presentation style and gave them a score.

O'Melveny & Myers hosted a glittering drinks reception to complete the first day of the main conference, allowing delegates to unwind and mingle at their leisure.

- A Formal Debate
on 'This House Believes That The Environmental & Social Measures From Copenhagen & Elsewhere Will Ultimately Be Harmful To Emerging Market Private Equity.' A strong proposition team of Tom Rotherham, UNPRI and Ron Steenblick, OECD were resoundingly defeated by the defiant opposition, led by Patricia Dinneen, SIGULER GUFF & COMPANY & Koonal Gandhi, OPIC
