SuperReturn Europe is the flagship private capital conference for the European market, held from 3 to 6 November 2026 at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam. Organised by Informa Connect as part of the global SuperReturn series, the event draws 1,500+ delegates from 50+ countries including 500+ LPs with $10 trillion in assets under management and 750+ GPs, facilitating 45,000+ face-to-face meetings across four days. The programme opens on 3 November with a specialist summits day running three concurrent tracks covering fundraising, private debt, and the newly introduced Pan-European Exchange Summit, followed by three main conference days on 4, 5, and 6 November. The co-located SuperReturn Family Office Europe takes place on 6 November for qualifying single family office principals. LPs attend free of charge and benefit from dedicated closed-door sessions, an LP-only breakfast, and tailored networking. The event is CPD certified and curated by the SuperReturn LP Council.
The event brings together the most senior and geographically diverse private capital community focused on Europe, with 76 percent of LP attendees and 80 percent of GP attendees at C-level, partner, or director level. LP attendees include sovereign wealth and development finance institutions such as the British Business Bank, EBRD, EIF, and the Public Investment Fund; pension funds including APG Asset Management, LHV Pension Fund, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, and PGGM Investments; insurance companies including Generali Investments, NN Group, Northwestern Mutual Capital, and Riverstone International; and single family offices including Amstelbay BV, Delfinvest, Hicks Holding, and IW Group.

The attendee base spans financial hubs including the UK, Germany, France, and Switzerland, alongside emerging markets in Poland, the Baltics, Southern Europe, and the Nordics.
The specialist summits day on 3 November runs three parallel tracks: the Fundraising Summit covering cross-border fundraising dynamics and LP engagement; the Private Debt Summit addressing the who, where, what, and how of European private debt investing; and the new Pan-European Exchange Summit providing a region-by-region deep dive across Western Europe, Benelux, and Central and Eastern Europe. The summits close with a boat cruise drinks reception on the canals of Amsterdam. Main Conference Day One on 4 November covers the European private equity macro landscape, LP perspectives on European allocation, semi-liquid fund structures and liquidity, lower mid-market dynamics, exit strategies and distributions, secondaries and continuation vehicles, and impact investing. Main Conference Day Two on 5 November addresses private wealth and the democratisation of private markets, AI and technology investment opportunities in Europe, co-investments, healthcare and technology sector deep dives, Women in Private Markets, and the fundraising environment for European GPs. Main Conference Day Three on 6 November covers defence investment in Europe, European healthcare sector opportunities, and private equity in European consumer and retail sectors, concluding with a closing networking lunch.
The agenda covers the full breadth of European private capital strategy and market opportunity. Key themes include navigating interest rate, inflation, and geopolitical risk across the European landscape; LP allocation strategies and return expectations in the current macroeconomic climate; semi-liquid fund structures and their role in addressing liquidity constraints; secondary market evolution and continuation vehicle best practice; lower mid-market value creation and GP sourcing dynamics; DEI integration in investment strategy and portfolio management; impact investing across European markets; the democratisation of private markets through private wealth and semi-liquid channels; AI and technology as both investment themes and operational tools for European GPs; co-investment dynamics and LP alignment; the pan-European fundraising environment including regional market comparisons across Western, Central, and Eastern Europe; healthcare investment across European demographics; defence and dual-use technology as an emerging private equity asset class; and consumer and retail sector resilience amid inflationary pressures and digital transformation.
SuperReturn Europe 2026 concludes on 6 November with the chair's closing remarks at 11:55am following the final morning sessions on European consumer and retail private equity, succeeded by a closing networking lunch from 12:00pm to 1:00pm. The co-located SuperReturn Family Office Europe also takes place on this day for qualifying single family office attendees, extending the event's reach to the private wealth community alongside the main conference close.
