Participants were able to gain expert insight through one-on-one interviews with industry celebrities such as Ted Schlein of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, T. Bondurant French of Adams Street Partners, William Conway of The Carlyle Group and Scott Nuttall of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. Attendees were able to understand more deeply what lies in store for the future of private equity, which sectors are the most popular today, how higher security and more complex regulation effects investing, and other significant topics for the industry.
