Global Investor Offsite 2021
22 - 24 June 2021,
Virtual event, Global
Build connections with investors in infrastructure
The Global Investor Offsite was the industry’s half-year marker. Attendees explored how markets are faring, how investors’ appetite is changing and set their strategy in this rapidly changing environment.
The event enabled the industry to catch up with old colleagues and make new connections with the 800+ Global Passport members. They met and interacted with investors, managers and the global advisory community across three regions and time zones.
Attendees took time out from the day job, turned off their emails and took stock of what’s happening in the world of infrastructure.
‘Chase the sun’ across Asia, Europe and the US
Attendees were able to understand the state of play from each region’s most respected, engaging and original industry heads.
They discovered the most interesting opportunities to invest in infrastructure right now, as leaders shared global recovery scenarios and pinpointed where market dislocations will provide greatest value.

Networking at the Global Investor Offsite
Connect with global investors and fund managers
Themed virtual networking sessions provided attendees with access to like-minded peers and investors exploring the same opportunities.
Attendees were able to see who attended each session and could easily identify contacts with similar interests. They could message other attendees to catch up at the event.
Our speed networking sessions enable attendees to meet more people. They joined each other for a randomly allocated video chat.
2021 speakers included:
Unrivalled access to the global infrastructure community
The Infrastructure Investor Global Passport
The Global Investor Offsite 2021 was exclusive to Global Passport members
The Infrastructure Investor Global Passport is a new way for industry leaders to stay connected to the market, meet investors, secure capital commitments and gain a strategic edge throughout the year.
Networking at the Global Investor Offsite
The Global Investor Offsite featured a number of scheduled interactive networking sessions across different formats to ensure everyone got the most out of their time at the event.
Attendees shared challenges and brainstormed strategies during roundtable discussions
Lead by an expert moderator, our roundtables brought together senior infrastructure investors and managers to share challenges, discuss strategies and helped set their future direction on a range of industry topics.
Attendees selected the topic that matters most to them and had an open discussion with their peers.
Attendees met more people with our speed networking sessions
Replicating the experience of bumping into people in the networking room, attendees joined and were matched with other event attendees for a randomly allocated video chat.
Attendees got to know their fellow Passport holders via our quickfire, four-minute speed networking sessions. They participated in a series of randomly generated meetings to help them meet their peers. They could then follow up afterwards via the Passport directory to continue the conversation.
We helped attendees meet the right people
Whatever their area of interest, our themed ‘birds of a feather’ networking sessions allowed attendees to quickly identify other attendees with the same focus.
They could jump into one of our themed rooms to meet contacts and discuss their selected topics.
Attendees met the speakers face-to-face
Each topic was followed by a dedicated ‘meet the speakers’ Q&A session. Attendees turned on their camera and audio to discuss the topic with the speakers and put their questions to them face-to-face.
Chat and arrange 1-2-1 video meetings
Whether they wanted to catch up with an old colleague or make a new contact at a specific organisation, event attendees could search for the individual contacts from the delegate list and message them to arrange online video meetings throughout the three days of the event.
Once they had set up their meeting, they could invite other event attendees to join.
Sponsorship opportunities
The Infrastructure Investor Global Investor Offsite offers a unique opportunity for organisations to raise their profiles as part of the premier virtual meeting for the global infrastructure market.
