This Annual Forum is Australia’s flagship alternative investment conference organised by the industry for the industry. This year, we will have our very first hybrid forum showcasing the skills of international and local managers, their approach to business and their market views to local and international delegates. The forum also brings investors, domestic and offshore, to openly discuss the alternative investment industry, interact with peers and gain best-practice perspectives. This year, we will continue to build on our previous offerings with more diversity in topics and speakers as we mark AIMA Australia's 20th anniversary !
