The World’s Private Capital Hub6

6,000+ delegates. 1,600 LPs. 600 GPs. Across 50 countries.

Today, geopolitical shocks and AI disruption obscure the path ahead. It’s tested the foundations of private markets. Confidence about future returns requires conviction. The flywheel of growth, exits, distributions and fundraising has spluttered. To get the engine firing on all cylinders again, the industry will have to forge a new path, rather than emulate the vision of the past. What emerges will be a more technically demanding discipline. Returns will be hard won. The winners will be masters of their craft, with operational depth, sector conviction and AI fluency.

The theme of IPEM Global 2026 will challenge the industry’s most determined practitioners to navigate what comes next. The course is demanding. Let’s master it together.
