AIMA Japan Annual Forum 2022 | Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) | 12 October 2022 | The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, Japan, 〒107-6245 Tokyo, Minato City, Akasaka, 9 Chome−7−1 東京ミッドタウン

Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we brought esteemed speakers from Japan and abroad together via our virtual forum. 2022 conference theme will focus on the current themes and trends in the alternative sector and discuss how the Japanese allocators are currently viewing the investment opportunities available. Panel discussions will directly debate and address the key issues. Expect a full day of keynote speakers and panels culminating in networking drinks.

This year, as the world recovers, we aim to bring everyone back together again to our flagship annual forum. This will be our first in-person event in Japan since the start of the pandemic, leading us back to normality.

The Annual Forum 2022 will:

Bring together....
• Policy-Makers and Regulators
• Hedge Fund and Private Fund industry influencers and thought leaders
• Members of the AIMA community and of the hedge fund industry
• Known keynote speakers
