The 10th Global Private Equity Conference in association with EMPEA was a success. Attendance reached over 600 private equity professionals comprised of LPs, including international finance institutions, public pension funds, and private investors; senior investment professionals, chief investment officers, directors and other senior investment officers interested in emerging markets from GPs around the world; and private equity attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants.

The focus of the recent conference was Creating Opportunities and Building Value.  As emerging markets private equity continues to raise unprecedented funds for investment, we turn our attention to creating opportunities and building value in emerging market investments. Much of the investment in emerging markets focuses on growth capital, and that growth is carried out through expansion into new markets, sectors, initiatives and strategies. We will be examining the global economic impact of private equity, how Asia is driving the growth of other markets, which frontier markets are attracting the most interest and why, and trends in fast growing sectors such as clean technology and infrastructure.

Dates for 2009 will be announced soon.  Please check back
