Dakota Allocator Conference: London Edition

Dakota Allocator
Conference

London Edition

Direct access to the allocators shaping UK capital. No vendor pitches. Just the people who write the checks.

Mon, October 12, 2026 Ham Yard Hotel, London 11:30 AM – 5:00 PM Exclusive · Limited Capacity

New to the Conference?

Direct Access. No Pitch.

Four panels. UK and European allocators speaking candidly about how capital actually gets allocated — plus the data, AI, and fundraising practices changing how that access is won.

Small by design. Built for real conversation, not a trade-show crowd.

Allocator-led, not vendor-led
Candid, unscripted panels
Small, exclusive room
Direct access to UK capital decision-makers
