Pension Bridge Private Equity Exclusive 2023 | With Intelligence | 24 July 2023 | Loews Chicago Hotel, 455 N Park Dr, Chicago, IL 60611, USA

The event will see thought leaders from North America’s largest LPs and GPs come together for in-depth knowledge sharing, peer-to-peer collaboration, and unique networking opportunities.

There has never been a better time for the industry to come together to discuss its opportunities and challenges. Seen as the darling of the investment community, private equity now faces significant headwinds globally. The outbreak of war in the Ukraine, rising inflationary pressure, and the threat of recession have provoked a massive reapproaching of spend. However, PE now has an opportunity to purchase distressed assets and tuck in and merge additional technology assets to make returns. This year we will explore these issues in depth, discussing the challenges the private equity industry has faced over the past 12 months, whilst offering an outlook on the trends that lie ahead.
