Complimentary Tickets for KFN Advisory Board Members: please email Blythe Hamer to register.
The CIO Alternative Investments Summit hosted by the Wharton Private Equity & Venture Capital Alumni Association (WPEVC) and the Kellogg Finance Network (KFN) has assembled some of the most influential and leading minds in this industry for high-level discussions of the most critical issues confronting money managers and investment officers. Together these leading institutions will host the 11th annual CIO Summit Tuesday, November 30 - Wednesday, December 1, 2021 on our virtual platform.
The Summit will continue to offer candid, investor-only conversations and a fascinating speaker line-up. The audience will remain highly targeted to include just LPs and GPs, and a relatively even split between the two. Discussions will include commodities, inflation, risk management in alternative investments, spacs, tech, co-investing, ESG activism, US-China tensions and the rise of Asia, and much more.
