The two-day programme opens on 17 November with registration and the LP-only invite-only breakfast, ahead of the full day programme beginning on 18 November. The main conference on 18 November opens at 9:10am with a session on the macroeconomic and geopolitical context surrounding the North American secondaries market, followed by a keynote on the evolution and future of secondaries. Morning sessions then address GP-led secondaries maturation, emerging trends in LP-led secondaries, secondary direct investments in late-stage technology companies, and LP appetite for secondaries in 2025 and beyond. After the networking lunch and Women in Secondaries lunch, the afternoon covers data-to-strategy conversion, sponsor redefinition of the secondaries market, new entrants transforming secondary deal dynamics, sector-specific secondary opportunities, and hosted roundtable discussions. A parallel LP-only closed-door discussion group runs on the secondaries market as a sales route for LPs. The formal programme concludes with the chair's closing remarks at 5:05pm, followed by a networking drinks reception through to 7:10pm.
The agenda covers the full breadth of the North American private equity secondaries market and its expanding adjacencies. Key themes include navigating macroeconomic forces and geopolitical risk affecting secondaries deal flow and pricing in North America; the maturation of GP-led transactions including single-asset continuation vehicles and multi-asset structures, and what is working versus what remains challenged; emerging trends in LP-led secondaries including portfolio rebalancing dynamics and pricing discovery; secondary direct investments in late-stage technology companies; LP allocation strategies and appetite for secondaries in a maturing market cycle; converting market data into investment strategy across the secondaries landscape; how sponsors are redefining the market from zombie fund management to trophy asset concentration; new market entrants and their impact on secondary deal dynamics and pricing; sector-specific secondary opportunities beyond buyout including infrastructure, real estate, and venture; AI-driven deal execution and due diligence automation; and private credit secondaries as a growing sub-asset class within the broader secondaries ecosystem.
SuperReturn Secondaries North America 2026 concludes with the chair's closing remarks at 5:05pm on 18 November, following the hosted roundtable discussions and the final afternoon sessions on new market entrants and sector-specific secondary opportunities. A networking drinks reception follows from 5:05pm to 7:10pm, bringing the two-day New York gathering to a close and providing a final opportunity for delegates to connect ahead of departing.
