Distressed Investing Annual Conference 2026

The 2026 conference is at The Harmonie Club in New York, NY.

The organizer lists attorneys, investors, bankers and financial advisors, lenders and claims traders, fund managers, corporate executives or board members, and service providers among the intended audience.

It is most useful for restructuring attorneys, special situations and private credit investors, and advisors who want to hear from the people running major cases, since the speakers include Josh Sussberg of Kirkland & Ellis, Bryan Marsal of Alvarez & Marsal, John J. Ray III of FTX Recovery Trust and two bankruptcy judges. The attendee mix spans lenders, claims traders, fund managers, bankers and service providers, so it works for deal sourcing and relationships in New York; those outside restructuring and credit, or who are early in their careers, will find less that applies to them.

Attendees at restructuring and distressed investing conferences in New York usually wear business formal, with dark suits and ties common, and the club setting reinforces that norm.
