The AYU Zurich Conference

The inaugural Zurich Conference, part of Switzerland Hedge Fund Week, is a boutique two-day event for hedge funds, family offices, asset managers and institutional investors.

The conference will combine a range of insightful talks and discussions with hedge fund experts, multiple networking opportunities, 1-2-1 pitch and surgery sessions and The AYU Pitch-Off, where select funds will get to make their case for allocation to a select panel of judges (and the whole audience) on stage. There can be only one winner of the AYU Pitch-Off trophy.

Attendance at The Zurich Conference is purposefully limited to two hundred participants only, with only a handful of select service providers (our sponsors and speakers) permitted access. We’ve taken time to design the event like this to create as much value as possible for attendees.

We are fund strategy and size agnostic at this event. All strategies are welcome, including those in the rapidly developing digital asset space, which will feature significantly in the event content.
