Two years ago the IPEM Team decided to launch a weekly newsletter to take a funny twist on the leading news articles shaping private markets. And it’s fair to say that “The Weekly Spin” has grown at an impressive rate, as IPEM itself has seen its global community and audience participation numbers reach new heights. IPEM Paris 2023 welcomed more than 5,600 delegates. When we first launched the Weekly Spin on May 10th, 2022 it was opened 3,700 times. On April 16th, 2024, the Spin recorded 18,000 openers, equivalent to an 88% open rate. Before 2024, the Spin averaged 6,000 aggregate views. Since IPEM Cannes 2024, that average has risen to 10,000 views. We’re pleased as punch that the Spin is doing well, and we of course want to thank the whole IPEM Community.

It goes to show that a weekly dose of humor can prove popular and provide light relief; while at the same time being informative on industry trends. A double win! So please join us in celebrating the success of IPEM’s Community spirit, without which the Weekly Spin could not have been possible. Thank you everyone and from the whole IPEM Team, we can’t wait to see you in Paris this September.

Cue the music. Spin that birthday tune! 🎶
