Thanks for joining us at Capital Creation 2011. See you in 2012!

In September 2011, over 300 of Europe’s top LPs and GPs returned to Le Meridien Beach Plaza in magnificent Monte Carlo for the 11th annual Capital Creation conference. Capital Creation has built a reputation within the private equity community for providing a highly interactive and intimate environment tailored for effective networking, idea sharing, and developing long lasting business relationships – not to mention VIP drinks receptions and a gala dinner under cloudless skies, overlooking the blue-green waters of the Mediterranean!

Looking ahead, Capital Creation 2012 will be perfectly timed to address the rapidly evolving market, providing you with an unsurpassed opportunity to discuss the key issues with your peers – why spend weeks travelling when you can meet with over 100 of the very top LPs and 150+ respected GPs from across Europe and beyond in just three days?

Panels featuring industry leaders will address fundraising topics such as exploring innovative approaches to the traditional fundraising process, emerging sources of capital and LP perspectives.

Pricing & Leverage

With banks and other lenders increasingly willing to underwrite bigger deals with debt financing, explore the role of leverage and how these trends will develop into the future.

Regulatory Evolution

Upcoming regulator changes in Europe, the United States and beyond are set to have profound impacts on how your business will be conducted in future years.
