SuperReturn International, the world's leading private equity and venture capital conference series, will host its annual gathering at the InterContinental Hotel in Berlin from June 8-12, 2026. The event is projected to be the largest edition yet, bringing together more than 6,000 decision-makers from over 80 countries, including 2,000 limited partners and 3,000 general partners representing more than $50 trillion in assets under management.
This convergence of financial power matters because private capital markets increasingly influence global economic development, corporate innovation, and climate transition strategies. With institutional investors, fund managers, and industry experts controlling trillions in capital, the discussions and relationships formed at this event will shape investment flows into technology, infrastructure, and emerging markets worldwide.
Over five days, delegates will engage with industry leaders through keynote presentations, panel debates, specialist tracks, and closed-door discussions. The agenda addresses pressing issues including technology and artificial intelligence adoption, geopolitical impacts, private wealth management, climate transition strategies, private credit markets, secondary transactions, and emerging fund managers.
Prominent speakers include Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, Alison Rose of Charterhouse Capital Partners, Rob Lucas of CVC Capital Partners, David Rubenstein of Carlyle, Johannes Roth of UBS Asset Management, John Toomey of HarbourVest, Véronique Fournier of Apollo Global Management, Anuj Ranjan of Brookfield Private Equity, Steffen Meister of Partners Group, Mathieu Chabran of Tikehau Capital, Tara Moore of Golub Capital, and Orlando Bravo of Thoma Bravo.
Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn, stated that the conference continues to set the benchmark as the must-attend event for the global private capital industry. The agenda is designed to tackle the most pressing issues and uncover compelling opportunities, from macroeconomic headwinds to the rise of AI and private wealth. The event brings together an unparalleled roster of senior industry leaders for networking, strategy discovery, and real-time market intelligence.
Prior to the main conference, SuperReturn International will host co-located summit days offering targeted networking and expert insight. These specialist summits will provide deeper exploration of AI and technology innovation, energy transition, German private equity, middle market strategies, private debt, private wealth management, secondary markets, sports investing, and women in private markets.
Major sponsors include Bain & Company, UBS, Deloitte, Goodwin, Barings, and ZCG, with additional support from numerous financial institutions and professional services firms. The conference's scale and sponsorship reflect the growing importance of private capital markets in the global financial ecosystem, where institutional allocations to alternative investments continue to expand despite economic uncertainties.
The implications of this gathering extend beyond the conference venue, as decisions made by attendees influence capital allocation across sectors and geographies. With climate transition and technological innovation as key agenda items, the discussions may signal investment trends that affect everything from startup funding to infrastructure development. The participation of limited partners controlling pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds means conference outcomes could impact retirement systems and public finances globally.
