1:15pm – 2:15pm CT Two concurrent 1-hour sessions · Real Estate + Infrastructure · Absolute Return Strategies 2:30pm – 3:30pm CT · Private Equity	GP Bootcamp: The New Pitch – What LPs Look for Today For GPs, getting the attention of LPs and consultants is more challenging than ever. The mix of technology, videos, marketing materials, messaging, and delivery all play a vital role in getting noticed – and funded. Meanwhile, LPs and consultants continue to look for more efficient ways to cut through the noise and identify the best new and diverse managers. “The New Pitch,” has been created with both groups’ objectives in mind. In this session, qualifying GPs will submit a video of their pitch and marketing materials for review by a panel of top institutional investors, consultants and the GCM Grosvenor investment teams. These panels will select a handful of GPs among the submissions and provide live feedback, intended to help shape the GP’s materials and hone their presentation skills. “The New Pitch” will also provide LPs and consultants in attendance a view into the universe of diverse and women manager talent and offer the chance to schedule a meetings with GPs of interest.
