The speed networkers are divided in LPs and GPs giving GPs a chance to deliver a brief synopsis of their fund, and LPs a chance to evaluate a large number of funds very quickly. Pick up 20 business cards in 20 minutes; if there is a fit, you can follow up later.
My SuperReturn Middle East E-Networker allows registered delegates to load up their profile, view other delegate profiles, book meetings with key contacts and start preparing in advance for the conference with our online networking tool. My SuperReturn Middle East goes live two weeks before the event to all registered and paid delegates to the main conference.
Delegates have exactly 90 seconds to present their fund strategy without using financial and performance data. Feedback is given by our expert LP panel and participants are awarded points for strategy and presentation style. The mood is informal and fun.
Take the opportunity to discuss your sector or region with a leading industry expert, in an informal group setting of about 15 people – the ideal chance to discuss the issues that have been brought up during the day and meet the key speakers.
See what the industry really thinks and participate in the debate with our confidential real time delegate polling sessions, followed by analysis from the biggest names in the industry.
Relax and enjoy the opportunity to meet the best of the global industry at our splendid Gala reception, specifically designed to allow you to network and unwind at your leisure.
