...and so much more.
Brian Bank shares what actually makes AGMs stand out from an LP’s perspective—from venue and agenda to networking, speakers, and swag. It offers clear, experience-driven takeaways for GPs and emerging managers who want their AGM to feel differentiated and worth the trip.
Top Takeaways
Choose a venue LPs will remember. The AGMs that stand out don’t stay in hotel ballrooms. They bring LPs to portco sites, operating assets, sporting venues, museums, or distinctly local experiences. The right venue either reinforces the investment strategy or creates a memorable experience that LPs will still recall long after AGM season ends.
Never assume LPs remember who you are. AGMs often include new faces. Always reintroduce the team, restate strategy, and provide context for roles and investments. Clear speaker handoffs and background reminders prevent confusion and disengagement.
Reinforce the firm you’re becoming, not just the fund you raised. An AGM is both a branding and promotional moment. Speaker selection, team visibility, and agenda structure should signal institutional depth, succession, and where the firm is headed next. Highlight rising leaders, repeat portfolio CEOs, and functional expertise to show LPs what Fund II or Fund III will look like.
Build differentiation into every detail. Templates, venues, speakers, and formats repeated year after year erode impact. The most effective AGMs ask one question throughout planning: What will make this one distinct from the other 20 meetings LPs attend this year?
