The BVCA National Series of Dinners are the premier annual gatherings of private equity and venture capital professionals in the UK.
Hosted in cities across the UK throughout the year, these dinners are the industry association’s core evening gatherings of GPs, LPs, professional services firms and financial institutions, providing a platform for local and national members to come together and forge greater connections.
Following member feedback, we have focused on premium landmark hotel venues for our black tie and evening dress dinners – the Northern Ireland Dinner at The Merchant in Belfast (27 June) and the Scotland Dinner at The Balmoral in Edinburgh (13 November) – and, in an evolution of the dinner format, are hosting the Midlands Dinner at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham (19 June) and the North England Dinner at the excellent Gusto Italian restaurant in Manchester (4 July), with a dress code of lounge summer wear and cocktail dresses.
All proceeds from the fundraising elements at these events will be donated to our charity partner, the 10,000 Interns Foundation. You can learn more about this partnership here.
The dinners also host the BVCA Vision Series, our annual initiative aimed at recognising the best business leaders within our members’ portfolio companies.
