0100 Emerging Europe 2026

​​Now in its 15th edition, 0100 Emerging Europe returns to Budapest with the same premise that has made it the benchmark LP/GP gathering for Central and Eastern Europe: fewer people, better conversations, and a room curated for outcomes.

The event takes place on 24 September at a single-day format designed around the quality of the room rather than the size of the stage. With attendance capped at 400 senior PE/VC leaders from 40+ countries, it operates at a scale where every conversation counts.

The Room

Already confirmed firms include Schroders Capital, EBRD, MidEuropa, Enterprise Investors, Innova Capital, Abris Capital Partners, Earlybird VC, Molten Ventures, 500 Global, and Anthemis. With 80% of attendees in decision-making roles and a deliberately balanced LP-to-GP ratio, the event is built for the kind of access that doesn't happen at larger conferences.

Senior LPs and family offices attend on a complimentary basis, subject to verification.

The Agenda

Six tracks cover the topics driving private markets in CEE and beyond:

• Capital flows, geopolitics & market direction
• Scaling companies & growth-stage capital
• LP strategies, fund selection & co-investments
• Sector focus: strategic technologies & innovation
• Private equity & value creation
• Exits & liquidity pathways

What to Expect

• 400 senior PE/VC leaders from 40+ countries
• 70+ expert speakers
• Balanced LP-to-GP ratio
• 80% decision-makers
• Pre-scheduled one-on-ones and intimate dinners
• Complimentary access for senior LPs and family offices

Why It's Different

In an era of oversized conference halls and networking apps that nobody uses, 0100 Emerging Europe has built its reputation on the opposite model. Pre-scheduled one-on-ones, intimate dinners, and time deliberately carved out for the conversations that happen between sessions — not despite the agenda, but because of it. For professionals tired of events that optimise for headcount over signal, the format speaks for itself.
