NEXUS 2027

NEXUS is PEI Group's flagship cross-asset gathering — four days in Scottsdale, Arizona that bring together LPs, GPs and family offices across private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure and private credit. The conference reflects how dramatically the institutional allocator universe has evolved: institutional teams that once specialized by single asset class now run integrated private-markets programs spanning every major substrategy, and the events calendar has had to evolve in parallel.

NEXUS is structured around that integration. Programming is intentionally cross-asset — sessions on capital flows that move across PE, credit and real assets; on the secondaries market across asset classes; on the operating-platform-versus-asset-level decision in PE, infrastructure and real estate; on family office and private-wealth allocation across the full spectrum. The conference avoids the silo structure of single-asset events while preserving substantive depth in each.

The Scottsdale location and four-day format reflect the conference's positioning as a strategic, relationship-oriented venue rather than a pure fundraising event. The schedule is built to support deep peer-benchmarking conversations among institutional allocator teams, family offices and senior GPs across asset classes — including dedicated LP-only programming, closed-door allocator roundtables and curated GP-LP interaction.

NEXUS has become a particularly important venue for family offices and large multi-asset allocators that need cross-asset perspective rather than single-asset depth, and for GPs operating in adjacent strategies (real-asset credit, infrastructure secondaries, growth-equity-credit hybrids) that don't fit cleanly into single-asset events.

Cross-asset institutional LPs, sovereign wealth funds, large family offices, OCIO platforms, fund-of-funds principals, and senior GPs across PE, VC, real estate, infrastructure and credit. Concentrated North American allocator base with growing global participation.

The institutional private-markets allocator function has fundamentally restructured around integrated programs rather than single-asset silos. Cross-asset venues like NEXUS are increasingly where the strategic relationships and capital allocation decisions actually happen — particularly for family offices and large multi-asset allocators.
