New for 2010
A whole new conference agenda to reflect a changing world
As we move into the next decade, it is clear that the world has changed in private equity. Who will be the next generation of industry titans? How will the industry continue to thrive? Where will the highest returns come from over the next 10 years? How will LPs adapt to the major swings across their portfolio and how will this affect private equity investing? And what skill set will be required to be the winners in tumultuous times? Don’t miss the opportunity to debate bold and innovative solutions to the challenges that lie ahead.
New! Rising Stars In Private Equity Showcase
We took an informal poll of our LP contacts to see who they consider the next generation of industry titans to be. Those who consistently came out on top will give their thoughts on opportunities in private equity and venture capital in the next decade at the SuperReturn U.S. Rising Stars Showcase.
