Macquarie at the Women in Private Markets Summit 2023

Macquarie is proud to be the principal sponsor of Private Equity International's 2023 Women in Private Markets Summit, the world's leading diversity event focused on alternatives, celebrating its 10-year anniversary. With over 800 attendees from more than 50 countries, this annual event serves as an opportunity for women in private equity, private debt, and infrastructure and real estate investment to expand their networks, hear insights from industry leaders and connect with institutional investors.

Committed to supporting gender diversity, equity and inclusion, both within our own businesses and in the industries that we operate in, Macquarie has sponsored the event since 2018.

Diverse perspectives help to drive the positive outcomes we deliver for our clients and communities. Our ability to do so improves further as we build towards gender balance at all levels across Macquarie.”
