"A unique conference where a fantastic group of women are talking about key trends and issues in our industry"

The energy was electric from start to finish at the 2025 Women's Private Capital Summit Canada. Over 350 investment professionals — including nearly 150 allocators — gathered in Toronto for two days of bold conversations, fresh insights, and genuine connections. Sessions tackled navigating tight liquidity, the AI investment boom, and deploying capital amid uncertainty, sparking real dialogue and actionable takeaways across private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit.

In 2026, we're raising the bar again with new voices, sharper content, and even more ways to connect. Whether you're returning or attending for the first time, this is your chance to be in the room with leaders at the forefront of the private capital industry.

We welcome all private capital professionals to be part of this dynamic community.
