APEF is a leading annual industry event in the region, organized by the Hong Kong Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (HKVCA), Asia's oldest and largest private equity industry group. The event will take place on January 26, 2024, during the Hong Kong government's high-profile international financial week and immediately following the Asian Financial Forum.
  
In the past, APEF has drawn close to 900 delegates, most of whom are senior management and C-suite executives actively participating in the dynamic investment markets across all sectors, stages, and geographies in Asia. The line-up of expert speakers includes more than 60 limited partners, investors, advisors, and consultants addressing the latest trends driving the growing and increasingly robust private markets in Asia. The focus of the discussions will be on Asian private equity, particularly in China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, covering topics such as family offices, real estate, venture capital, sector-focused funds, and regulation.
