AAAIM National Conference 2018 | Association of Asian American Investment Managers AAIM | 19 September 2018 | Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, 11461 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049, US

AAAIM's annual conference is the national platform for Asian American investment managers across the major asset classes of private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, public equities, fixed income, and real assets to meet, conduct business and learn from insightful leaders and each other. The event gathers a broad range of investment professionals with common interests from public pension funds, other institutional limited partners, emerging managers and large investment firms. The pre-conference activities on September 19th include the signature 'Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) Session' (previously Young Professionals), a half-day discussion focused on professional development; and the new 'Emerging Managers Assembly Day,' a half-day discussion for GP's and LP's that will focus on opportunities within the EM niche. The main conference day, September 20th, will be a fast-paced and focused day to learn about domestic and global opportunities and network with world class speakers and panelists.
