Leading the future

28 OCTOBER 2026 • NEW YORK

An exclusive gathering of the most senior individuals in the CVC industry

The Executive Leadership Forum brings together senior corporate investors for candid, peer-to-peer discussions focused on the challenges and opportunities shaping corporate innovation and investment.

  • Built for discussion, not presentations - interactive, attendee-led conversations encourage openness, problem-solving and meaningful peer exchange.

  • A curated audience of corporate investors - attendance is restricted to corporate investors and CVC leaders, ensuring high-quality networking and relevant discussion.

  • Every attendee has a voice - NDA-style group discussions create an environment where participants share experiences, insights and challenges openly.

  • 25+ Countries

    Represented at our previous forum

  • 150+ Delegates
