Here’s why SuperInvestor is invaluable in the current climate and time well spent:

1. Meet 150+ LPs, the very cream of the world’s private equity investors and the most successful institutional investors globally – in one place for you to listen to, learn from and meet.

"As a point of communication between LPs and GPs, SuperInvestor is second to none!"
Rod Selkirk, Chief Executive, HERMES PRIVATE EQUITY

2. Unrivalled networking. SuperInvestor is known for the quality of its networking – the event is the perfect size – 700+ attendees – featuring numerous quality LPs, wonderful settings, brilliant cocktail events, the invaluable roundtable discussions that speakers and delegates all love, the most superb networking device in “Spot-Me” enabling you to scan the entire list of attendees, their photos, send business cards, book meetings and more, dedicated speed-networking with LPs so you can literally cram as many face-to-face introductions with the investors you’d like to meet in the time available (effective, efficient, brilliant ), plus pre conference LP only dining and a breakfast, plus specially convened lunch tables for pre-booked networking and ideas exchange.

"Networking rarely gets better than this!"
Jonny Maxwell, Global Head Private Equity Fund of Funds, ALLIANZ PRIVATE EQUITY PARTNERS

3. 190 of the very cream of the industry assembled to speak and share their insights into the future with you. In panels, in specially convened roundtables ( there are 25 already lined up ) hosted by the most popular speakers, in a hilarious yet insightful quiz, and through the invaluable medium of electronic polling so you will uncover what the industry truly thinks. Just take a look at just some of the brilliant minds already confirmed:

"SuperInvestor has proven itself year in and year out to be the most valuable private equity forum for European institutional investors to meet and discuss topics of importance. Of all the investor conferences around, Superinvestor is by far the one to attend!"
Sasha van de Water, Managing Director, KEYHAVEN CAPITAL

4. And the most topical of agendas. Why not check out the numerous critical discussions planned for November including: LPs response to falling returns, value creation in a downturn, asset managers or private equity investors? Human Resources in private equity, Emerging Markets ( one entire day packed full of leading GPs and LPs ), the future for leverage and big buy outs, Sovereign Wealth Funds, New Directions, Listed Private Equity and so much more…

"One of the few private equity LP events I appreciate attending – it’s one of my favourites!"
