SuperReturn, the world’s leading series of private capital events, will convene its flagship European conference at Hotel Okura in Amsterdam from 3-6 November 2026. The event is set to host more than 500 limited partners (LPs) from over 50 countries, representing a combined $10 trillion in assets under management, alongside 750+ general partners (GPs) and private markets leaders. The scale of participation underscores Amsterdam’s role as a pivotal hub for private capital and highlights the growing importance of Europe in global investment strategies.
With Europe firmly at the centre of the agenda, SuperReturn Europe 2026 will examine how investors and managers are responding to a shifting macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape while seeking new sources of growth across the continent. Discussions will span lower-to-mid-market opportunities, fundraising, private debt, secondaries, and semi-liquid structures, where innovation is accelerating. The conference programme reflects the industry’s need to adapt to volatile markets and evolving investor demands.
More than 200 LPs, GPs, and industry experts are scheduled to speak, including Thomas Friedberger, Deputy CEO & Co-CIO of Tikehau Capital; Felice Verduyn-van Weegen, Partner at EQT; Daniel Leith, Head of Private Equity at Pension Protection Fund; Marieke van Kamp, Head of Private Markets at NN Group; Ellen van den Broek, Portfolio Manager Private Markets at LGPS Central; Andrea Serra, Chief Operating Officer, Strategic Equity at ICG; Marleen Dijkstra, Managing Director, Primary Fund Investments at Carlyle AlpInvest; and Sofie Kulp-Tåg, Investment Director at Skandia. Their presence signals the high-level dialogue that will shape investment decisions and market trends.
Dorothy Kelso, Managing Director of SuperReturn, said: “There is a real sense of opportunity returning to European private markets. Capital is available, but investors are becoming more selective about where they deploy it, while managers are having to work harder to demonstrate differentiation and deliver liquidity.” She added that the event is designed to bring those conversations together, allowing attendees to hear directly from decision-makers, understand investor expectations, build relationships, and take the pulse of European private capital.
The event will begin on 3 November with three specialist summits focused on fundraising, private debt, and opportunities across European markets. A new Pan-European Exchange Summit will take a region-by-region look at Europe’s mature markets and emerging hotspots. SuperReturn Family Office Europe will run alongside the main conference on 5 November, bringing together family office decision-makers to discuss private market allocation and investment opportunities.
