After four sell-out years, the European Private Equity Awards, hosted by EVCA and Real Deals, is going to Barcelona.

A shortlist of the best exits and funds across the continent is now being compiled by Real Deals and the IESE Business School, and will be announced mid-September. The winners of the regional and pan-European awards will be decided by a judging panel of top LPs and industry pioneers.

The judging panel is chaired by Ross Butler, editor of Real Deals. The judges will base their decision on research conducted by a dedicated team at IESE Business School. EVCA is a neutral party.
