IPEG Happy Hour on Oct 25
This is very short notice, but hopefully many of you IPEG members will be able to make it to this short-notice happy hour.
Many IPEG members are in the process of successfully raising emerging markets focused funds, the latest example of which is Mike Hokenson’s successful closure of the $40 million fund with CDC. There are a bunch of other South Asia and Africa focused funds that are also in the process of being raised or being closed.
Come hear all about it and discuss other issues of interest, over drinks, with your colleagues this coming Thursday, on October 25th from 7:30 pm to 11 pm at Amsterdam Cafe on Amsterdam Avenue at 119th St. Amsterdam Cafe also has a decent food menu, so you can also have dinner there, if need be.
If you are coming, please do RSVP in comments.
