SuperReturn, the world's leading private equity and venture capital conference series, will host three signature events in New York City from November 16 to 18, 2026, at Convene 360 Madison Avenue. The conferences—SuperReturn Private Credit North America, SuperReturn Strategic Technology, and SuperReturn Secondaries North America—will bring together senior decision-makers from across private markets to exchange insights and build connections.
Celebrating its 11th year, SuperReturn Private Credit North America will anchor the program as the largest of the three conferences. More than 450 senior decision-makers are expected to attend, with panel sessions and presentations covering direct lending, asset-backed finance, private credit secondaries, evergreen structures, the private wealth channel, and global allocations. New this year is a dedicated Asset-Backed Finance Summit on November 16, examining trends shaping asset-backed deployment, performance, and capital allocation.
SuperReturn Strategic Technology will connect LPs and GPs investing thematically across critical technology sectors. The one-day conference will explore structural shifts in technology investing, AI and data centers, institutional investor perspectives, deep tech, quantum, and defense technology.
SuperReturn Secondaries North America returns as a two-day gathering of more than 250 secondaries decision-makers. Top LPs and GPs will examine the forces shaping the North American market, the continued maturation of GP-led secondaries, emerging trends in LP-led secondaries, continuation vehicles, portfolio rebalancing, and private credit secondaries.
Distinguished speakers include David Colla of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Mary Bates of Meketa Investment Group, Dadong Yang of Barings, and Andrew Peters of New York Life Investments for Private Credit; Ankur Dubey of Schroders and Ludwig Pierre Schulze of Alumni Ventures for Strategic Technology; and Mohamed Elkordy of New York Common Retirement Fund and Megan Leeds of Coller Capital for Secondaries.
"By bringing Private Credit, Strategic Technology and Secondaries together in New York, SuperReturn is creating a forum where investors can examine distinct but increasingly connected areas of private markets," said Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn. "The three events give LPs and GPs an opportunity to deepen relationships, compare perspectives and identify where the next generation of private capital opportunities may emerge."
The conferences are supported by sponsors and partners representing leading firms across private credit, strategic technology, and secondaries, including Principal AI Partner AlphaSense Technology, Principal Law Firm Partner Latham & Watkins, and Co-Sponsors Barings, KBRA, and Main Street Capital. SuperReturn Strategic Technology is supported by Associate Sponsor Founders Future, while SuperReturn Secondaries North America is sponsored by Blue Earth Capital, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, CrossWork, and others.
This convergence of private credit, technology, and secondaries reflects the evolving landscape of private markets, where investors increasingly seek diversified exposure across these interconnected strategies. The events offer a critical platform for LPs and GPs to navigate challenges and seize opportunities in a dynamic economic environment. As private markets continue to grow, forums like these are essential for shaping investment strategies and fostering innovation.
