PERE Europe Forum 2026

PERE Europe Forum is the leading European real estate private equity gathering — two days in London produced by PERE (PEI Group), the trade publication that has tracked global REPE since its institutional emergence. The forum convenes the LPs and GPs active in European real estate at a moment when the asset class has been substantially reshaped by interest-rate normalization and the resulting reset in capital values.

The agenda concentrates on the substantive questions European REPE faces post-correction. Sector rotation — the structural shift away from traditional office, the maturation of logistics as a core institutional category, the rise of multifamily and student housing in markets where the rental dynamics support it, and the early-stage build-out of European data centers. Capital structure — debt vs. equity in the current rate environment, the rise of credit funds in real estate and the maturation of NAV-facility and preferred-equity structures. Operational platforms — the increasing emphasis on operational expertise in residential, hospitality and life sciences real estate, and the build-versus-buy decision on operating capability.

European REPE has its own distinctive features — fragmented across legal regimes, more bank-financing-dependent than the US, with currency considerations across the Eurozone-and-UK split. The forum treats these as first-class topics. Sessions explicitly address the divergence between UK, German, Nordic, French, Iberian and Italian markets rather than aggregating Europe into a single bloc.

For European REPE LPs, the forum is the major annual venue for benchmarking the GP set and tracking the post-correction recovery. For non-European LPs, it is the gateway event for assessing the European real estate opportunity set.

European institutional real estate allocators (pension, sovereign wealth, insurance, family office); UK and Continental REPE GPs; US and Asian GPs with European platforms; debt and credit fund managers in real estate; the legal, valuation and operating ecosystem.

European real estate has gone through a substantial repricing and is now at an inflection point where post-correction vintages may produce strong realized returns — but only for managers operating with discipline across the right sectors and capital structures. The forum is the major venue for understanding that landscape at allocator scale.
