Now in its second year, the Value Creation for Private Equity conference brings together Operating Partners and portfolio-company C-suite leaders on a truly unique platform to tackle these challenges head-on.

Ahead of the 2026 Summit, we wanted to share with you our sample attendee list, to give you an idea of who will be in the room with you.

Private equity is undergoing a structural reset. Muted exits, extended holding periods, and increasing LP pressure for DPI have fundamentally changed how returns are generated. Today, value is no longer realised at exit; it is engineered throughout the investment lifecycle.

This report provides a practical, execution-focused guide to how leading private equity firms are embedding exit readiness by aligning operations, data, and strategy to drive measurable EBITDA growth and maximise valuation outcomes. The report also features exclusive insights from one of our sponsors, Codurance. 

Download to learn more about:

• How to embed exit readiness into your 100-day plan, aligning KPIs, governance, and value creation initiatives with buyer expectations from the outset
• How to build true visibility into margin drivers and eliminate "margin illusion" to drive sustainable EBITDA growth
• How leading firms are engineering multiple exit pathways and leveraging data, AI, and the evolving CFO role to maximise exit optionality and DPI

In a market where buyers are more selective and exits are harder to execute, the firms that win will be those that can prove, not just promise, value. Download the report now to see how leading PE firms are preparing for exit.

A major highlight of the event is the depth of case studies being shared by companies, including Beck & Pollitzer, Graphite, Faria Education Group, Deutsche Private Equity, CD&R and more. Case studies offer a rare window into how peers navigate similar challenges, translating real‑world execution into insights you can apply straight away and are not to be missed.

In a world where traditional levers are no longer enough, this exclusive report reveals how leading PE firms are rewriting the rules of value creation, across every phase of the investment lifecycle.

As macro volatility, LP scrutiny, and operational complexity intensify, Private Equity firms are under pressure to deliver faster, smarter, and more resilient value. The old playbooks, focused on margin trimming and financial engineering, are no longer sufficient.

This guidebook is your blueprint for the future. Packed with insights from Bain Capital, Blackstone, TPG, and more, it explores how top-performing firms are building dynamic, data-driven, and sector-specific playbooks that drive value from diligence to exit.

From AI-powered procurement and ESG integration to hybrid governance and exit readiness sprints, this guidebook is a must-read for operating partners, transformation leaders, and portfolio executives looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Download the guidebook to discover:

• The New Mandate: Growth, innovation, and transformation over cost-cutting. Discover why the most successful firms are shifting from margin-focused strategies to growth-centric models that prioritise digital acceleration, pricing power, and product innovation.
• Adaptive Playbooks: Tailored by sector, maturity, and leadership capability. Learn how firms are moving beyond one-size-fits-all frameworks to build modular, archetype-driven playbooks that reflect the unique DNA of each portfolio company.
• Real-World Execution: Case studies from carve-outs, SaaS, and healthcare. Explore how firms like AIP, Hg Capital, and EQT are applying operational excellence, workforce transformation, and precision scaling to unlock value in complex environments.
• Future-Ready Strategies: AI, Centres of Excellence, and ESG as value levers. See how leading firms are embedding AI into operating models, institutionalising best practices through CoEs, and turning ESG from a compliance task into a driver of EBITDA and exit multiples.

AI may be dominating boardroom conversations and budgets, but according to Will Harman, CEO and Founder of Trusted Value Creation, the firms generating sustainable returns in 2026 are the ones staying focused on the fundamentals: operational discipline, margin visibility, negotiation capability, and execution.

In this exclusive interview, Will provides a candid look at where firms are still getting it wrong and what differentiates those that consistently outperform. The interview also tackles one of the industry's biggest challenges today: separating AI use cases that genuinely improve revenue and margins from those that simply create more complexity and cost.

• How PE firms can unlock EBITDA growth through operational levers like contract analytics, negotiation capability, and cross-functional optimisation
• Why many AI initiatives fail to deliver measurable returns and where AI is actually creating operational value
• How leading firms are identifying hidden operational risks, reducing margin leakage, and embedding scalable value creation across portfolios

In a market shaped by tighter multiples, inflationary pressure, supply shocks, and increasing LP scrutiny, operational execution has never mattered more. Download the interview now to discover the practical strategies PE leaders are using to drive value creation in 2026 and beyond.

Forget portfolio-wide frameworks or rigid playbooks. For Victor Vadaneaux, Interim CEO, real value creation is done one company at a time, through listening, adapting, and aligning deeply with management.

In this exclusive interview, Victor shares why the first 100 days are for verifying (not clinging to) the investment thesis, why post-deal leadership assessments are critical, and why you’ve already lost if management doesn’t embrace the Ops team willingly.

• Why “portfolio-wide” playbooks often leave money on the table
• How to identify real post-deal leadership capability and gaps
• Why humility and realism are the foundations of a “bulletproof” strategy

This is a playbook for operators who know there is no playbook, and who believe in humility, bold adjustments, and alignment over force.

What happens when your hold period stretches, the big transformation budget is gone, and the value creation plan (VCP) no longer matches the moment?

In this exclusive interview, Peter Bancroft, Chief Transformation Officer, Rubix, unpacks how he’s navigating prolonged ownership cycles, embedding tech-enabled behavioural change, and ensuring that talent, not just strategy, delivers results.

Download the interview to learn more about:

• How to avoid “brittle” value creation plans by embedding real-time feedback loops that keep your strategy aligned with internal and market shifts
• Why overlooking the wider leadership team—beyond the C-suite—is one of the most common mistakes in the first 100 days of ownership
• How AI is evolving from analytics to coaching, with new tools helping managers drive behavioural change at scale across sales and operations

Whether you're an operating partner or portfolio exec, Bancroft offers the sharp, real-world insight needed to drive results in today’s high-pressure environment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a future-tense technology; it is a present-day force actively reshaping the investment landscape, presenting both profound opportunities and existential threats.

Across private equity portfolios, a clear divide is emerging: some businesses are using AI to accelerate enterprise value, while others are quietly accumulating technical and competitive risk.

Codurance's latest whitepaper provides a practical framework for investors and operating partners looking to turn AI from a technology experiment into a structured value-creation lever across the portfolio.

Value Creation for Private Equity bridges the gap between decision makers and transformation vendors, offering a value-packed platform for value creation leaders and industry players to share insights, navigate complexities, and tackle the most pressing challenges.
