Workshops and roundtables

Our roundtables and workshops offer invaluable peer-to-peer knowledge sharing on topics like AI, regulation, outsourcing, and allocator expectations. With small-group discussions and tailored sessions—including a new workshop for billion-dollar hedge funds—they provide focused, practical insights and foster genuine connections among senior operational leaders facing similar challenges.

Formal networking

Networking is woven into every part of the Summit, from informal breakfasts and networking lunches to our drinks reception and, new for 2025, Great Gatsby dinner. These moments offer the ideal setting for meaningful conversations, peer connection, and new partnerships, ensuring attendees leave with both valuable insights and lasting relationships.

Innovative networking

We take networking to the next level with unique experiences designed to spark conversation and connection. From a 5km run and puppy yoga to on-site barbers, blow-dry stylists, caricaturists, magicians, photobooths and cocktail bars complete with ice sculptures, these standout moments help turn introductions into lasting professional relationships.
