The agenda will address current issues shaping private markets, including artificial intelligence disruption, private credit consolidation, continuation vehicles, evergreen structures, sports and entertainment investing, opportunities in Latin America, and the geopolitics of growth. Deep dives into buyout and mid-market strategy are also planned.
