29th Annual AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Forum – Hong Kong

Over 1,000 of the world’s leading GPs, LPs and a broad mix of industry professionals are set to converge on Hong Kong for the 29th Annual AVCJ Private Equity & Venture Forum (AVCJ Forum), which will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel from November 15-17, 2016.

This year’s event will take on added significance in light of the financial disruptions and economic volatility that the world is now bracing for. The AVCJ Forum will offer industry players with unparalleled opportunities to gather market intelligence to equip themselves for a down cycle, or just as importantly, better prepare for seizing opportunities in the future.
