The Private Capital Summit, Dubai 2026 was held on 15 September 2026 at The Lana, Dorchester Collection — Marasi Drive, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE. It is the inaugural Dubai edition of the private-capital summit series run by CapLink Group, a Dubai-based private-capital platform; the post-event release was issued by the organizer's media agency Northstar Insights on 17 September 2026 and states that the summit drew “300+ C-suite dealmakers”. CapLink's own pre-event LinkedIn marketing separately claimed “400+ senior delegates / 50+ speakers” — that figure is an organizer marketing claim (pre-event) and is never merged with the post-event number. The programme centred on Gulf private capital: value creation, fund structuring, secondaries, private credit, venture capital and AI. The organizer's release names Nawshad Noorkhan (Founder & Managing Director, CapLink Group) as the organizer voice, Hazem Ben-Gacem (Founder & CEO, BlueFive Capital) delivering the afternoon keynote on the 2H 2026 investment outlook, and Matthew Benson (MENA Private Capital Leader, EY-Parthenon) as chair. The stage slide in the organizer's own photograph of the panel “Building the Middle East PE Fund of the Future” names moderator Skye Smith (Skadden) and panellists Rima Hadid (Emirates Investment Authority), Andrew Devine (BC Partners), Yasmeen Ghali (BlueFive Capital) and Kurt Alfrey (Daman). Sponsor partners listed by the organizer: EY-Parthenon (Headline); Clifford Chance, White & Case, A&O Shearman, Akin, Gibson Dunn, Skadden, DLA Piper and Alvarez & Marsal (Platinum); FAB, Abacus and Cleary Gottlieb (Gold); Financial Times (Official Media Partner); Preqin / BlackRock (Official Data Partner).
