In 2020, there will be over 70 events held globally for financial industry participants. Catering to a mix of hedge funds, asset managers, technology providers, compliance and regulation service providers, brokers, retail investors and liquidity providers, these events range from the ones organized by the recognized media publications to the community-organized ones.

When looking for an event to attend this year, you should consider factors such as the type of audience they attract, the types of people attending, agenda, location and much more. To make the process easier, we have categorized most events based on the specific professional industry segment that you belong to:

Buy-side: Hedge Funds, asset management and family offices:

In an era of low yield and compressed margins, efficiency, combined with a leaner operation are key factors in maximizing returns for your funds. There is defined critieria that successful buy-side firms use to effectively evaluate technology and liquidity providers.

If you are an institutional investor, or perhaps looking to set up a fund, then attending expos that provide thought leadership on the implementation of, and compliance with, the regulatory reforms impacting hedge funds and investors, by legal counsel and industry experts might be in your best interests.
