Private Equity Forum New York 2027
Our annual forum for sponsors, lenders and portfolio company leaders.
Overview
The Private Equity Forum returns to New York to look at the year ahead for private capital. Sessions will cover how financing markets, regulatory review and exit routes are shaping strategy, with practical input from lawyers who advise sponsors, lenders and portfolio companies. The day is organized around candid panel discussions rather than presentations, and there will be time for conversation between sessions.
