SuperReturn, the world's leading series of private capital events, will host SuperReturn Europe 2026 at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam from 3-6 November 2026. The conference will convene more than 500 limited partners (LPs) from over 50 countries, representing a combined $10 trillion in assets under management, alongside 750+ general partners (GPs) and private markets leaders. This gathering underscores Amsterdam's role as a pivotal hub for European private capital and signals a renewed focus on the region's investment landscape.
The event's agenda will examine how investors and managers are responding to a changing macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop while identifying new sources of growth across Europe. Discussions will span lower-to-mid-market opportunities, fundraising, private debt, secondaries, and semi-liquid structures, where innovation is accelerating. With Europe firmly at the centre, the conference aims to address the evolving dynamics of private markets, which are critical for driving economic development and providing returns in a volatile global environment.
Among the 200+ speakers are prominent figures such as Thomas Friedberger, Deputy CEO & Co-CIO of Tikehau Capital; Felice Verduyn-van Weegen, Partner at EQT; Daniel Leith, Head of Private Equity at Pension Protection Fund; Marieke van Kamp, Head of Private Markets at NN Group; Ellen van den Broek, Portfolio Manager Private Markets at LGPS Central; Andrea Serra, Chief Operating Officer, Strategic Equity at ICG; Marleen Dijkstra, Managing Director, Primary Fund Investments at Carlyle AlpInvest; and Sofie Kulp-Tåg, Investment Director at Skandia. Their participation highlights the event's significance in shaping investment strategies and fostering dialogue among key decision-makers.
Dorothy Kelso, Managing Director of SuperReturn, said: "There is a real sense of opportunity returning to European private markets. Capital is available, but investors are becoming more selective about where they deploy it, while managers are having to work harder to demonstrate differentiation and deliver liquidity. SuperReturn Europe is designed to bring those conversations together. Attendees will have the chance to hear directly from the people making allocation and investment decisions, understand what investors are looking for from their managers, build new relationships and take the pulse of European private capital." Her comments reflect a market where discerning investors and proactive managers are essential for success.
The event will begin on 3 November with three specialist summits focused on fundraising, private debt, and opportunities across European markets. The new Pan-European Exchange Summit will take a region-by-region look at Europe's mature markets and emerging hotspots. Additionally, SuperReturn Family Office Europe will take place alongside the main conference on 5 November, bringing together family office decision-makers to discuss private market allocation and investment opportunities. These specialized sessions cater to the diverse needs of the private capital community and enhance networking potential.
