The SuperReturn conference series will host its signature Private Credit North America event alongside the inaugural Secondaries North America and returning SuperVenture North America conferences in New York City from November 18-19. All three events will take place at Convene 360 Madison Avenue, bringing together more than 750 senior decision makers from across the private markets landscape to discuss the latest trends and opportunities in private credit, secondaries, and venture capital. This convergence of major asset class conferences provides a comprehensive view of the evolving private capital ecosystem and signals the increasing importance of cross-disciplinary dialogue among industry leaders.
Celebrating its 10th year, SuperReturn Private Credit North America will anchor the program as the largest of the three conferences. The event will feature leading voices in private credit participating in panel sessions and presentations covering numerous topics including direct lending, asset-backed lending, private credit secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and NAV finance. Distinguished speakers include Thomas Cockburn from Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Caroline Lovelace of Preserver Partners, and Dom Ruggiero from Fortress Investment Group. The depth of topics covered at https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-private-credit-north-america/ reflects the maturation and specialization within the private credit market, which has become an increasingly critical component of the global financial system.
The inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America will spotlight the continued growth and sophistication of the secondary market. Top GPs and LPs will offer informed insight on the trends, challenges and opportunities in secondaries, exploring themes including the macroeconomic and geopolitical context shaping the North American market, the maturation of GP-led secondaries, and emerging trends in LP-led secondaries. Featured speakers include Wandy Hoh from Macquarie Asset Management, Yann Robard of Dawson Partners, and Christine Patrinos from Monument Group. The establishment of this dedicated conference, with details at https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-secondaries-north-america/, underscores how secondary transactions have evolved from niche activities to mainstream portfolio management tools that provide liquidity and strategic flexibility.
SuperVenture North America will offer a dynamic day of networking and insights from leading venture capitalists and LPs, with sessions focused on the state of venture, deeptech innovation, fundraising, and exit strategies in today's evolving venture ecosystem. Speakers include Lindsay Sharma from Industry Ventures, Will Porteous of RRE Ventures, and Sarah Antor from Helen Capital. The venture capital conference, accessible via https://informaconnect.com/superventure-north-america/, addresses how venture capital is adapting to changing market conditions while continuing to drive technological innovation and economic growth through high-risk, high-reward investments.
Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn, emphasized the significance of hosting these three conferences together, stating that it provides the industry with a unique platform to engage across asset classes and explore what's next for private capital. This coordinated approach matters because it reflects how private market strategies are becoming increasingly interconnected, with investors and fund managers needing to understand opportunities and risks across multiple asset classes. The conferences are supported by a distinguished group of sponsors representing leading firms across private credit, secondaries, and venture capital, including The Carlyle Group, KBRA, Willow Tree Credit Partners, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Macquarie Asset Management, Morgan Stanley, Alexia Ventures, and Myriad Venture Partners. The breadth of sponsor participation demonstrates the widespread industry recognition of these conferences as essential forums for strategic discussion and relationship-building in an increasingly complex private markets environment.
