SuperReturn to Host Trio of Private Markets Conferences in New York This November

SuperReturn, the world's leading private equity and venture capital conference series, will host three significant events in New York City from November 18-19, 2025. The conferences will take place at Convene 360 Madison Avenue and are expected to attract more than 750 senior decision-makers from across the private markets landscape. This concentrated gathering represents a critical opportunity for industry leaders to address evolving market conditions and emerging opportunities across multiple asset classes simultaneously.

The flagship event, SuperReturn Private Credit North America, celebrates its 10th anniversary and serves as the anchor of the three-conference program. As the largest of the events, it will feature leading voices in private credit discussing numerous topics including direct lending, asset-backed lending, private credit secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and NAV finance. The conference's decade-long track record positions it as a barometer for the private credit industry's development and future direction.

Joining the established private credit conference are two complementary events: the inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America on November 18 and the returning SuperVenture North America on November 19. The secondaries conference will spotlight the continued growth and sophistication of the secondary market, with top general partners and limited partners offering insights on trends, challenges, and opportunities. Discussion themes will include the macroeconomic and geopolitical context shaping the North American market, the maturation of GP-led secondaries, and emerging trends in LP-led secondaries.

SuperVenture North America will provide a dynamic day of networking and insights from leading venture capitalists and LPs, with sessions focused on the state of venture capital, deeptech innovation, fundraising, and exit strategies in today's evolving venture ecosystem. The combination of these three conferences creates a comprehensive view of the private markets landscape, allowing participants to gain cross-asset class perspectives that are increasingly relevant in today's interconnected financial environment.

The conferences feature an impressive roster of distinguished speakers representing major institutions across all three asset classes. For Private Credit North America, speakers include Thomas Cockburn of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Caroline Lovelace of Preserver Partners, Dom Ruggiero of Fortress Investment Group, Maila Chuong of Manulife Investment Management, and Mary Bates of Meketa Investment Group. Secondaries North America will feature Wandy Hoh of Macquarie Asset Management, Yann Robard of Dawson Partners, Nash Waterman of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and Christine Patrinos of Monument Group. SuperVenture participants include Lindsay Sharma of Industry Ventures, Will Porteous of RRE Ventures, Sarah Antor of Helen Capital, and Maximillian Diez of the University of San Francisco.

Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn, emphasized the strategic importance of hosting these three conferences together, stating that SuperReturn continues to serve as the global hub for connection, collaboration, and insight across private markets. By hosting Private Credit, Secondaries, and SuperVenture together in New York, the organization provides the industry with a unique platform to engage across asset classes and explore what's next for private capital. This integrated approach reflects the increasing interconnectedness of private market strategies and the need for comprehensive market intelligence.
