PEI Private Credit Japan Korea Week is Asia's leading private credit event series, bringing together two regional forums — the Seoul Forum and Tokyo Forum — in one week. It connects global GPs with the largest institutional investors across Korea and Japan, giving fund managers direct access to LP decision-makers and actionable market intelligence.
Japan Korea Week takes place 20-23 April 2027, across two venues: the Seoul Forum (April 20) at Conrad Seoul, followed by the Tokyo Forum (April 22-23) in Tokyo.
Japan Korea Week is designed for private credit professionals, including institutional investors (LPs), fund managers (GPs), advisers and other senior decision-makers focused on Korean and Japanese private credit markets.
You can book online here. To access the best rates, we recommend registering as early as possible. A single Japan Korea Week ticket gives you access to both the Seoul Forum and the Tokyo Forum. Alternatively you can register for a specific forum individually.
