The SuperReturn Private Credit Europe conference is scheduled for March 9–11, 2026, at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. This event will assemble more than 700 senior decision-makers, including over 220 limited partners and 350 general partners, to examine the strategies, trends, and opportunities defining the European private credit sector.
The conference's importance stems from its role in addressing a market undergoing significant evolution. With shifting capital flows and growing investor appetite for differentiated credit strategies, the gathering provides a critical platform for industry leaders to navigate this dynamic landscape. Discussions will focus on direct lending, asset-backed finance, private credit secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and distressed debt, among other pressing topics.
Over 100 expert speakers will contribute insights through data-rich presentations, panel discussions, keynotes, and roundtables. Notable participants include Taj Sidhu of Carlyle, Jana Markowicz of Ares Management, Michael Massarano of Arcmont Asset Management, Richard Coldwell of the British Business Bank, Luis Mayans of La Caisse, Stuart Mathieson of Barings, Caroline Hedges of Railpen, and François Lacoste of Eurazeo. Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn, emphasized the event's significance, stating it offers "unparalleled insight, connection and intelligence" for professionals operating in an increasingly complex environment.
The program includes an Asset-Backed Finance Summit on March 9, limited partner-only sessions for focused dialogue, and extensive networking opportunities designed to foster strategic partnerships. Lead sponsorship is provided by LCM Partners, with co-sponsors including Aviva Investors, Barings, Eldridge Capital Management Services, and KBRA.

Capital Partners, Invesco, PGIM, and Silver Point Capital.
For attendees and the wider industry, the conference's implications are substantial. It serves as a barometer for market sentiment and a catalyst for deal-making, potentially influencing investment flows and strategic directions across Europe. The concentration of top-tier talent and capital allocators in one venue underscores private credit's maturation as a vital component of the financial ecosystem.
