SuperReturn, the world's leading series of private capital events, will bring together more than 1,500 investors and fund managers at SuperReturn Europe 2026, scheduled for 3-6 November at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam. The conference will host over 500 limited partners (LPs) from more than 50 countries, representing a combined $10 trillion in assets under management, alongside 750+ general partners (GPs) and private markets leaders from Europe and beyond.
The significance of this gathering lies in its timing and focus. With Europe firmly at the centre of the agenda, the event will examine how investors and managers are responding to a changing macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop while identifying new sources of growth across the continent. Discussions will span lower-to-mid-market opportunities, fundraising, private debt, secondaries, and semi-liquid structures, where innovation is accelerating.
Among the 200+ LPs, GPs, and industry experts speaking at this year's event 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.
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 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. 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.
