Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference 

The IESE Private Equity & Venture Capital Club is pleased to invite you to the 2026 edition of the IESE PEVC Conference, taking place on April 16–17 at IESE Business School's Barcelona campus. This two-day gathering brings together leading investors, fund managers, founders, and students for a program built around the defining themes shaping private markets today — from AI-driven credit and secondaries to dual-use tech, sports investing, and the future of venture in Europe. If you are interested in attending, register below.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The 2026 IESE PEVC Conference is designed around the conversations that matter most to practitioners across private equity and venture capital. Day one focuses on the private markets landscape — exploring private credit, continuation vehicles and secondaries, and large-cap dynamics — before opening into an evening investor cocktail. Day two shifts to venture, with panels on the US vs. Europe ecosystem, corporate venture, value creation, and emerging opportunities in dual-use and defense tech. The program is complemented by hands-on workshops on real estate, fundraising, PE recruitment, and women in entrepreneurship, alongside structured networking throughout both days.
