Mergermarket Private Credit Forum 2024 - New York | ION Analytics | 18 June 2024 | Conrad New York Downtown, 102 North End Ave, New York, NY 10282, USA

Previously operating under the Debtwire banner, this year our forum is evolving, leveraging the combined capabilities of next-generation Mergermarket and next-generation Debtwire, both services of ION Analytics.
This evolution reflects our dedication to enhancing our delivery of comprehensive content and analysis in the private credit space. By combining the forward-looking intelligence and likely-to-exit model of next-generation Mergermarket with the deep credit market insights of next-generation Debtwire, we're providing a more encompassing and unparalleled view of the deal landscape.
The private credit market continues to capture attention from both a GP and LP standpoint, due to high interest rates, pushback in traditional lending, and a challenging private equity exit environment. The forum will gather key players from the private credit, CLO, and M&A communities to delve into the hottest topics shaping the private credit landscape, from LP insights and software lending to distressed situations, along with the latest updates in the CLO market.
For LPs, this is a chance to understand current market trends, identify investment opportunities, and connect with potential GPs to enhance your portfolio. GPs, on the other hand, can use this platform to showcase their unique investment strategies and engage with potential investors. Advisors can capitalise on the event to comprehend recent trends and challenges in private credit, enabling them to offer more valuable and timely advice to their clients.
