The Private Credit Industry Conference on Direct Lending and Middle Market Finance

About the Event - Investing Across the Spectrum

Following the successful launch event in June 2022 which featured over 500 attendees and the support of 25 sponsors, the LSTA and event co-host DealCatalyst are excited to announce a new location and date pattern for the 2023 program. This two-day conference will feature an enhanced focus on direct lending, as activity by asset managers has skyrocketed and institutional investor interest in the asset class is on the rise.

Meet the Advisory Board

The members of the Advisory Board, along with the executive leadership of the LSTA, help to inform the program content, recruit additional speakers and promote the program to their Middle Market industry colleagues. 

Who Should Attend

Sponsors and fund managers receive access to a secure virtual data room and digital roadshow to showcase forthcoming deals or manager profiles with participants before, during, and after the event.
