Showcasing the most compelling speakers and content in the Alternative Investments space, AICON is an interactive experience that benefits professionals of all levels and expertise.

Conference highlights include:
• Engagement with top Limited Partners and prominent leaders in alternative investments
• Facilitated one-on-one Limited Partner/General Partner meetings throughout the day
