The SuperReturn conference series will host three major private markets events concurrently in New York City from November 18-19, bringing together over 750 senior decision-makers to examine critical developments in private credit, secondaries, and venture capital. This coordinated gathering at Convene 360 Madison Avenue represents a significant convergence of expertise across asset classes, offering participants a holistic view of the private capital landscape. The event's structure facilitates cross-pollination of ideas among professionals who typically operate in specialized segments of the market.
Celebrating its tenth anniversary, SuperReturn Private Credit North America anchors the program as the largest conference, featuring sessions on direct lending, asset-backed lending, private credit secondaries, niche finance, and NAV finance. Distinguished speakers including Thomas Cockburn from Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Caroline Lovelace of Preserver Partners, and Dom Ruggiero from Fortress Investment Group will address how private credit continues to evolve as a mature asset class. The conference's longevity reflects the sustained growth and institutionalization of private credit strategies that have become essential components of institutional portfolios.
The inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America conference will spotlight the increasing sophistication of secondary market transactions, with sessions examining macroeconomic influences, GP-led secondaries maturation, and emerging LP-led trends. Speakers including Wandy Hoh from Macquarie Asset Management, Yann Robard of Dawson Partners, and Christine Patrinos from Monument Group will analyze how secondary markets provide liquidity solutions and portfolio management tools in uncertain economic environments. This dedicated focus on secondaries acknowledges the market's transformation from a niche segment to a mainstream investment strategy with specialized approaches and growing transaction volumes.
SuperVenture North America completes the triad with sessions focused on venture capital's current state, deeptech innovation, fundraising dynamics, and exit strategies in today's evolving ecosystem. Speakers including Lindsay Sharma from Industry Ventures, Will Porteous of RRE Ventures, and Sarah Antor from Helen Capital will explore how venture capital adapts to changing technological and market conditions. The conference addresses how venture investors navigate valuation adjustments, sector-specific opportunities, and the evolving relationship between innovation capital and traditional private equity approaches.
