Alternative Investment in the Age of Transparency

It's a new world order for alternative investment professionals. Private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge funds are, more than ever, doing business in front of clear windows. The government and the SEC; the public and the media; and Limited Partners are pushing for greater disclosure, greater transparency, and greater accountability.

At a time of extraordinary change, we are bringing together senior-level women in alternative investments – GPs, LPs, and their advisors – to examine the Age of Transparency from many perspectives. We'll gather in the world's financial capital to exchange ideas, build trusted networks, and participate in substantive, in-depth conversations about this emerging new world.

The inaugural Women's Alternative Investment Summit, like its “sister” Summit for Private Equity professionals, will attract an influential and powerful inner circle to facilitate sharing of hard-to-get information; encourage women to widen their network and do business with each other; and increase their access to information.

• Meet top LPs and hear their plans for tackling the new playing field
• Learn from pioneering GPs innovative strategies for fundraising, deal sourcing, portfolio management, and liquidity management
• Discover opportunities to generate returns from leading institutional investors and veterans in private equity, hedge funds, and real estate
• Make new contacts and nurture existing relationships to advance your firm
• Network with influential women not generally part of the conference circuit
• Gain access to information and inner circles you and your firm need to survive and prosper
