9 must-attend private equity sessions at Asia PE-VC Summit

We have put together nine private equity sessions on the first day of the Asia PE-VC Summit 2022, to be held in Singapore on September 27 & 28.

The PE sessions, featuring 24 prominent speakers from the region’s most active firms, will include top themes and trends, LP-GP narratives, fireside chats and keynote tracks.

We will examine the overall private equity landscape in Asia through well-crafted sessions covering topics such as LP views on backing emerging market fund managers and opportunities for capital allocations in Asian markets; PE entering VC turf and vice-versa; rise of private credit and secondaries; balancing returns and impact; lessons on riding the downcycle; and more.

Be sure to join these engaging and vital conversations.
