Private Capital Summit
FT Live and Latham & Watkins have launched an exclusive new conference on the market for private capital. After a strong debut in 2025, it returns in 2026, convening the leading figures in private equity, private credit, infrastructure and real estate to take stock of market conditions and where the most compelling opportunities now sit.
The event also reaches beyond the traditional buyout world to draw in some of the most interesting investors across venture and growth, alongside the founders of Europe's largest start-ups.
Chaired by the FT's Finance and Markets Editor, Arash Massoudi, the day runs through keynote interviews, panel discussions, one-on-one dialogues and networking.
* Eligibility criteria: This summit is strictly reserved for senior professionals from leading private capital firms. Attendees will include senior decision-makers primarily from the PEI 300 and PDI 200. Each application will be reviewed by the event organisers to ensure the seniority and relevance of attendees.
