Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about themes in private equity. But beyond the hype, what are firms actually doing with AI today, what are they needing to demonstrate to limited partners, what has become the norm in AI, and what’s next on the horizon?

At the upcoming BVCA Summit in London on 10 September 2025, our co-founder and CEO Phil Westcott will be moderating a panel on AI roadmapping in private equity & corporate finance. He’ll be joined by industry experts to explore how AI is changing dealmaking, where firms are seeing the biggest impact, and how to plan your AI journey.

What you’ll hear in the panel

• Real-world use cases: Where AI is already making a difference in sourcing and due diligence
• Impact on deal teams: How automation is reshaping the day-to-day role of associates and analysts
• Build vs. buy: The trade-offs firms are weighing when it comes to AI adoption
• What’s next: How AI roadmaps align with long-term PE strategies
