The Investment Technology Expo is a marketplace event designed to help alternative investment funds and family offices discover the partners they need to make their businesses run as successfully as possible. We have built this event to cater for the growing AYU membership base and their regular enquiries about best-in-class service poviders.

Who will attend?
Over 500 funds and family offices will attend this event for free, getting the opportunity to explore all offerings and learn what colleagues and competitors use to gain a winning edge.

Both established and emerging funds will be in attendance, with asset ranging from start-out territory in low millions into the hundreds of billions. Funds of all strategies across alternative investment will be joining us, including (but not limited to) hedge, private equity, venture capital, real estate, credit, digital assets and infrastructure. Family offices will likewise be representing a wide range of asset holdings from $50m (minimum) to over $100bn.

All guests (based on AYU membership) will largely come from leadership and decision making roles.
