Capital Creation Private Equity Conference Moves to Cannes for 2012 annual meeting

May 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Capital Creation will be attended by a veritable 'who's who' of Europe's private equity & venture capital community (including over 100 LPs) for three sun-drenched days of intensive networking, idea sharing and topical discussion of all the issues facing the asset class in 2012/13. This year we've moved a few miles down the coast to Cannes, home to a certain film festival and jewel of the Côte d'Azur. With continued pressure on fundraising, tougher LP commitment hurdles and an uncertain economic outlook, the 12th annual Capital Creation conference is perfectly timed to provide the key information and contacts private equity professionals need to operate effectively.

Plus, attendees will benefit from a Fundraising Forum, Growth Economies Morning, sunset cocktail receptions and (of course) the annual Capital Creation Gala Dinner!
