LSE AIC and HBS VCPE

Currently a senior and have a FT position in IB. I am trying to keep my eyes open to private equity and noticed that these two conferences have a lot of experienced speakers from across the globe.

Have any of you gone to either of these conferences in the past and would you recommend attending either of them or both?

I have been to the LSE AIC. It's a great experience and a great way to network. I would highly recommend it!

I don't know where you are located. However, I don't think it would justify a trip from the US just to attend the conference. If you are in Europe, then I would definitely advise you to go to the LSE AIC. I might be going again this year. Hit me up if you decide to come!
