Sponsorship Opportunities Now Open: 2026 IVCA Invitational

By Kathy Pyne | April 1, 2026

The IVCA Invitational returns on Monday, July 13, 2026, at Olympia Fields Country Club, bringing together leaders from Illinois’s private equity and venture capital community for a day of golf, connection, and purpose.

The Invitational is hosted in support of the IVCA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and proceeds benefit the Foundation’s efforts to broaden access to the private equity and venture capital industry.

Following record‑breaking sponsorship and attendance in 2025, the Invitational has become one of IVCA’s most anticipated annual events and a critical source of support for programs that strengthen the industry’s talent pipeline.

Sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 IVCA Invitational are now available. A range of options is offered, and early interest has been strong so join us before we sell out!

Proceeds from the event directly support the IVCA Foundation’s programs, including the IVCA Scholars Program, a paid, 10‑week summer initiative designed to expand access to careers in private equity and venture capital. Scholars complete training, are placed at host firms, and engage directly with industry leaders which helps ensure the long‑term strength of Illinois’s investment ecosystem.
