SuperReturn Middle East 2026

SuperReturn Middle East is Informa Connect's regional private capital meeting place, part of the SuperReturn series. It brings limited partners from the Gulf's deep pool of sovereign, institutional and family wealth together with general partners from MENA, the US, Europe and Asia for three days of LP-led content and deal-focused networking in Dubai's financial centre.

Event week

Day one is a specialist summits day; days two and three are the main conference, each closing with an evening networking reception.

• 13 October: summits day (Fundraising, Private Credit, Infrastructure, Tech, AI & VC) plus the Family Office Forum
• 14-15 October: main conference on cross-border capital flows, GCC partnerships, liquidity and allocation
• LP-only and single family office closed-door sessions
• Private wealth discussion groups (pre-registration required)
• GP Breakfast Workshop and Emerging Manager Workshop

Themes for 2026

The 2026 programme widens its global lens to geopolitics, liquidity and GCC partnerships, and adds a stronger focus on AI, data centres, chips and energy security alongside credit secondaries, venture credit and private wealth. The former Tech & VC Summit becomes the Tech, AI & VC Summit.
