Which LPs are investing? How far will LPs continue re-upping with existing GPs? Who will win the fundraising game?
This invaluable pre-conference Summit on 16th November, also features the launch of two brand new surveys assessing LPs' plans for investing going forward, and GPs' plans for fundraising so participants can truly assess the scale of the problem, and what they need to do to succeed.
Added to that, the investment plans of more than 20 LPs are included, plus the Fundraising Masterclass with Blackberry Q&A for confidential questioning of the leaders in investor relations, the Quick Fire Showcase giving you an opportunity to sell your own fund to the Summit audience and get feedback from an independent private equity presentations expert.
All addressing the most critical of challenges on one single timely and invaluable day.
This year all the leaders in this red-hot sector are gathered on one single focussed day, including ALPINVEST, HERMES PRIVATE EQUITY, POMONA CAPITAL, DB PRIVATE EQUITY, GREENPARK CAPITAL, USS, HARBOURVEST and ADAMS STREET PARTNERS. Add to that the new Secondaries Exchange and the LPs' panel to assess investors' appetite and what providers can do to accommodate it.
Last year's hugely successful launch saw 150 attendees take part, achieving a superb over-view and indepth understanding. 2010 sees an expanded and cutting edge topical programme - one not to be missed!
"My-SuperInvestor" e-networking was launched in 2009 and gives speakers and delegates the invaluable opportunity to view and use the list of attendees ahead of the conference to make introductions, set up meetings and more. Now you can maximise every moment of your time with 700 senior attendees and 200 LPs and create your own agenda of back-to-back meetings, as well as an incredible conference!
Over two separate half-hour sessions of Speed Networking, attendees will be able to meet dozens of investors face-to-face, shake hands, swap business cards, introduce themselves and explain their business, before moving on to the next great contact. Everyone leaves with a fist full of business cards and a list of great prospects to follow up from the office. Fast, efficient and fun - where else could you meet with so many quality prospective investors, in one place, at one time and so efficiently?
What could be easier and more effective than using your own Blackberry to raise key questions or your niggling concerns live during the sessions - with complete anonymity. Such a superb innnovation will allow everyone to express their thoughts, pose the most controversial or tricky questions without fear. It will enhance further the level of discussion and bring a real buzz of excitement and brand new insights to the event. And electronic polling will allow speakers and chairmen to create a confidential snapshot of an entire industry's thinking - invaluable!
Bringing together the very best in debate and interaction, brilliant panellists will tackle the most critical challenges facing GPs today and then join participants in face to face discussion - to bring about a real exchange of ideas, learning and critical understanding. Enhancing this brilliant innovation, the 2010 Strategy and Practice Stream adds to SuperInvestor's superb thought-leadership and value, providing real learning and interactive exhange.
A brand new agenda of the most important themes and very hottest discussion topics will be provided for speakers and delegates to enjoy. You select the host and the subject to join, so that two hour-long sessions of learning, interface, networking and fun will provide the very best in conference value. And as champagne is served throughout, these brilliant discussions provide a perfect beginning to the evening's networking and receptions.
Taking place at the glorious Westin Hotel and at the magnificent and historic Hotel Crillon. The Westin is a stunning five-star venue in the heart of Paris. A short walk away but stepping into another era, the Hotel Crillon's majestic splendour and stunning Paris panoramic views were chosen by Marie-Antoinette for music lessons and will provide the backdrop for a glittering evening.
Between them, these two gala receptions will provide the type of entertainment and networking for which SuperInvestor is famous.
Just consider the potential value of the contacts you will make - to say nothing of the fun you will have doing so.
Take 90 seconds to describe and sell your fund to an audience you could never assemble elsewhere and which you might never reach all year. What more valuable opportunity could there be to introduce yourself and your unique points of difference? Who knows what business opportunities just a minute and a half at SuperInvestor could lead to!
What's more the entire Fundraising Summit will be there to listen, as well as our independent private equity presentations expert, to provide you with priceless feedback to boot.
Make use of every moment at SuperInvestor by signing up to our Meet the LP or Meet the VIP lunch tables. Enjoy informal conversation over food, swap cards, make introductions in the most relaxed and unpressured way. Or pick up brilliant tips and thinking from the brightest in the industry, while simply having lunch. What better way to use your time?
Already confirmed are Katherine Bacon of HarbourVest and Josh Lerner, private equity guru from Harvard Business School.
