SuperReturn CFO/COO around the world: North America, Asia, Europe

In an increasingly complex global operating environment, senior finance and operations leaders are under pressure to drive efficiency, manage risk and enable growth, all while navigating regulatory change and rapid technological advancement. The SuperReturn CFOCOO events, in Chicago, Singapore and Amsterdam brings together the world’s most influential CFOs, COOs and C‑suite peers across three international locations, creating a powerful forum for insight, connection and strategic leadership.
Where and when are the 2026 editions?
There are three editions: Chicago (May 12–14, 2026, The Gwen Hotel), Singapore (September 29–30, 2026, Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre), and Amsterdam (October 5–7, 2026, Hotel Okura). Each gathering convenes regional and global C‑suite leaders to exchange actionable strategies and forge trusted peer connections.
What is the focus of the Amsterdam edition?
Amsterdam focuses on the future of private market operations for C‑level leaders, covering process optimisation, regulatory compliance, and practical AI deployment. Sessions provide operational blueprints and governance models that help you scale performance and prepare for evolving supervisory expectations and cross‑border reporting requirements.
What is the focus of the Chicago edition?
Chicago delivers a high‑density C‑suite peer network for finance, operations, and compliance leaders. It prioritises candid knowledge exchange, shared challenges, and co‑developed solutions across sectors, enabling executives to validate strategies, stress‑test operating models, and accelerate transformation roadmaps with real‑world benchmarks.
What is the focus of the Singapore edition?
Singapore emphasizes efficiency, risk control, and growth in one of the world’s leading business hubs. It blends regional and global lenses on operational excellence, governance, and scalable performance, equipping leaders to navigate APAC regulatory nuance, multi‑jurisdictional risk, and enterprise‑grade process standardization.
Who attends and how is the audience composed?
Across all three events, the series convenes ~1,000 senior leaders, including 530+ C‑suite executives (CFOs, COOs, CCOs, CROs, CTOs). The private markets cohort reflects balanced perspective: 25% GPs from small‑cap firms and 75% from mid‑ to large‑cap organizations, ensuring diverse scale‑based operating insights.
Why does this series matter to private markets and enterprises?
It provides executive‑level operating playbooks for cost efficiency, controls, and data‑driven growth, grounded in peer proofs rather than theory. Attendees gain credible benchmarks, regulatory readiness guidance, and AI deployment patterns that reduce risk, compress transformation timelines, and improve cross‑functional decision velocity.
Why This Matters by Role
It offers role‑specific, outcome‑oriented guidance across finance, operations, risk/compliance, technology, and private markets investors, reinforced by a global C‑suite peer network.
