Real Deals Tech Innovation Forum


Wednesday 18 March 2026 | London


Event overview


Technology is transforming private equity’s approach to value creation and operational excellence. Therefore, firms are rapidly adopting AI, automation, and cloud solutions to enhance due diligence, portfolio management, and exit strategies. But these advancements bring challenges—cybersecurity risks, compliance hurdles, and the complexity of integrating new tech into existing workflows.


Now in its sixth year, the Real Deals Tech Innovation Forum, in partnership with The Drawdown, unites GPs, LPs, and tech experts to explore cutting-edge strategies for boosting efficiency and maximising returns. Through panels, workshops, interactive roundtables, and intimate networking, this is a platform for you to gain actionable insights on all the major technological themes impacting PE.

I find the real deals events extremely useful both from a networking, as well as learning about latest industry trends and best practice. they seem to keep improving year on year. Looking forward to the next one!
