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 bring together 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 from Europe and beyond. This gathering underscores the growing importance of European private markets in a shifting global economy.
The event's agenda will focus on 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 center, the conference aims to provide actionable insights into these dynamic segments.
Among the 200+ LPs, GPs, and industry experts speaking are 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 caliber of expertise and the critical conversations that will shape investment strategies.
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."
The event will commence 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.
