May 12, 2026

We are pleased to share the top 150 firms now confirmed to attend the Asia Private Equity Leadership Summit in Hong Kong.

Following our earlier preview of the LP institutions joining us, this next announcement gives a broader view of the senior private capital audience taking shape across the summit. Attendees include leading LPs, GPs, private credit and secondaries investors, family offices, and key industry participants from across Asia and beyond.

The summit will convene senior executives from firms including KKR, Bain Capital, Ardian, HarbourVest, Partners Group, StepStone Group, Adams Street Partners, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Pantheon Ventures, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation,  and more.

This is not a broad-based conference. It is a focused, editorially led summit designed for senior decision-makers navigating capital allocation, liquidity, exits, and cross-border opportunities across Greater China and the wider Asian private markets landscape.

From curated networking sessions and an exceptional panel lineup to smaller, high-signal interactions throughout the day, the Asia Private Equity Leadership Summit is designed to help you meet the right firms, in the right setting.
