The SuperReturn conference series will host three significant private markets events in New York City on November 18-19, 2025, bringing together more than 750 senior decision makers from across the private markets landscape. The conferences will take place at Convene 360 Madison Avenue and include the returning SuperReturn Private Credit North America, inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America, and SuperVenture North America events.
This convergence of three distinct but interconnected private market sectors provides a critical platform for industry leaders to address evolving market dynamics. The simultaneous hosting of these conferences reflects the increasing interconnectedness of private credit, secondaries, and venture capital markets, offering participants unique opportunities for cross-asset class collaboration and insight sharing.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, SuperReturn Private Credit North America will serve as the anchor event and largest of the three conferences. The program 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. Distinguished speakers include Thomas Cockburn of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Caroline Lovelace of Preserver Partners, and Dom Ruggiero of Fortress Investment Group.
The inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America conference will spotlight the continued growth and sophistication of the secondary market. Top general partners and limited partners will offer insights on trends, challenges and opportunities in secondaries, exploring themes including the macroeconomic and geopolitical context shaping the North American market, the maturation of GP-led secondaries, and emerging trends in LP-led secondaries. Speakers include Wandy Hoh of Macquarie Asset Management and Yann Robard of Dawson Partners.
SuperVenture North America returns with a dynamic day of networking and insights from leading venture capitalists and LPs. Sessions will focus on the state of venture capital, deeptech innovation, fundraising, and exit strategies in today's evolving venture ecosystem. Notable speakers include Lindsay Sharma of Industry Ventures and Will Porteous of RRE Ventures.
Dr. Dorothy Kelso, Global Head of SuperReturn, emphasized the importance of these gatherings, stating that SuperReturn continues to serve as the global hub for connection, collaboration, and insight across private markets. The combined event structure provides industry professionals with a unique platform to engage across asset classes and explore what's next for private capital.
The conferences are supported by a distinguished group of sponsors representing leading firms across private credit, secondaries, and venture capital. Private Credit North America is co-sponsored by The Carlyle Group, KBRA, and Willow Tree Credit Partners. Secondaries North America is sponsored by Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Kirkland & Ellis, and Macquarie Asset Management.

These conferences come at a crucial time for private markets as investors navigate changing interest rate environments, evolving regulatory landscapes, and shifting global economic conditions. The insights shared and connections made at these events will help shape investment strategies and market approaches throughout 2026 and beyond.
