SuperReturn will host its signature Private Credit North America event alongside the inaugural Secondaries North America and returning SuperVenture North America conferences in New York City from November 18-19 at Convene 360 Madison Avenue. The combined events will bring together more than 750 senior decision makers from across the private markets landscape to discuss the latest trends and opportunities in private credit, secondaries, and venture capital. This convergence reflects the increasing interconnectedness of these asset classes as investors seek diversified strategies in evolving market conditions.
Celebrating its 10th year, SuperReturn Private Credit North America will anchor the program as the largest conference. The event will feature leading voices in private credit participating in panel sessions and presentations covering numerous topics including direct lending, asset-backed lending, private credit secondaries, niche and specialty finance, and NAV finance. Distinguished speakers include Thomas Cockburn from Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Caroline Lovelace of Preserver Partners, and Dom Ruggiero from Fortress Investment Group. The conference's longevity and expanded agenda underscore private credit's maturation from a niche alternative to a mainstream asset class with sophisticated strategies.
The inaugural SuperReturn Secondaries North America will spotlight the continued growth and sophistication of the secondary market. Top GPs and LPs will offer informed insight on the 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. Featured speakers include Wandy Hoh from Macquarie Asset Management, Yann Robard of Dawson Partners, and Christine Patrinos from Monument Group. The dedicated conference acknowledges secondary markets' evolution into a strategic tool for portfolio management and liquidity solutions, with registration details available at https://informaconnect.com/superreturn-secondaries-north-america/.
