Private Capital
Breakfast

The AI / Data & Insight Private Capital Breakfast brings together portfolio company executives, data and AI leaders, operating partners, and PE deal teams for a senior-level, half-day forum on how AI is reshaping the private equity lifecycle, from sourcing and diligence through to portfolio value creation. Built around the "Humans and AI" operating model and set at The May Fair Hotel, it convenes 150 senior decision-makers for practitioner-led insights on what is actually working inside operating businesses.

Conference Themes

What the Room Will Be
Talking About

Three panels across one morning, covering the full PE-AI lifecycle.

01

AI Into Value Creation

The Capability Stack Picking Battles Humans AND AI

A panel combining AI-powered analytics and post-deal portfolio value creation: how funds move from dashboards and experimentation to repeatable AI playbooks that improve revenue, margin, productivity, and management decision quality across portfolio companies.

02

Smarter Deals, Better Handoffs

Diligence Beyond the Data Room Surviving the Handoff A Day-100 Plan with Teeth

How AI is reshaping pre-deal diligence, and how those insights carry into the first hundred days. Deal teams and operators on what survives the handoff, what gets lost, and how to make value creation planning start before signing, not after.

03

The AI Operating Model

AI Function & Governance Scaling Across the Business Talent & Measuring Impact

As AI becomes a strategic capability rather than a standalone technology initiative, private equity firms are rethinking how they organise teams, build internal expertise and support adoption across their portfolios. This discussion explores how firms are structuring AI leadership, defining responsibilities between investment, operating and technology teams, and creating governance models that can scale with rapidly evolving technologies.
