Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference (PEVC)
Barcelona, March 20, 2020
Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference (PEVC)
The Private Equity and Venture Capital Conference (PEVC) is hosted by IESE Business School, and ASCRI for professionals from the industry to exchange perspectives, experiences, and trends affecting the alternative asset management business. This year, the conference will center on the change in the business cycle, the current pricey market, the distortion in private and public valuations and the difficulties to generate returns. As there seems to be a general consensus in the investment community that a slowdown in economic activity is approaching, we will be asking reputed investors their view and how it is reflected in their investment strategy. Moreover, we will also be discussing the current high valuations in some private growth sectors and the emerging concept of Impact investing, among other topics.
The conference will take place on March 20th, and will feature industry leaders and successful investors from the most reputable firms in Europe in both private equity— Carlyle, HIG, MCH among others—and venture capital— Target Global, JME Ventures, Seaya Ventures, among others.

The PEVC Conference is jointly organized by the IESE PEVC Club, and ASCRI.
• IESE’s PEVC Club is a student organization that strives to foster communication between the most remarkable industry professionals and MBA students from top business schools.
• ASCRI is the Spanish association of private equity and venture capital and is composed of 100+ local and international investment firms. ASCRI represents the sector before the Spanish government, institutions, investors, entrepreneurs, and media.
