Exclusive
The Ritz-Carlton Chicago
The premier event for the North American private equity industry
We were pleased to bring together over 400 senior leaders in private equity at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago on July 15-17, 2025. Our 2026 edition will take place on July 13-15, 2026
The conference for investors and fund managers
Join us next year at one of the premier private equity events in North America. As an LP, you’ll hear how your peers approach allocation, meet with specialist and mainstream managers, and be kept informed on how the private equity market will develop for years to come. GPs attend the Pension Bridge Private Equity Exclusive to do business.
The event, while content-driven, is renowned for facilitating deal-making. We aim for a carefully controlled 2:1 ratio of allocator to manager firms, creating an ideal environment for LPs to feel comfortable.
