The CIO Alternative Investments Summit hosted by the Wharton Private Equity & Venture Capital Alumni Association (WPEVCAA) 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 12th annual CIO Summit Wednesday, November

29, 2023 at the New York Athletic Club. 

The CIO Summit has been a sell-out event each year to an audience composed of 250+ senior level investment decision makers from institutional LPs including endowments, foundations, single/multi- family offices, corporate and public pensions, and insurance as well as private equity, hedge fund and fund-of-fund investors. The audience will remain highly targeted to include just LPs and GPs, and a relatively even split between the two. 

The event will offer candid, investor-only conversations and a fascinating speaker line-up with many more names to be added. Attendees can expect a combination of keynote addresses / fireside chats, CIO plenary panels, concurrent breakout sessions and ample networking.  
 

MEET A FEW OF OUR CIO SUMMIT SPEAKERS:

Several important factors distinguish the CIO Summit from other conferences:

• Focused on bringing LPs and GPs thought-provoking content and ideas in an intimate, engaging environment;
• An invitation only, peer setting of senior level alternative investors;
• Closed to the media to encourage candid discussion;
• Hosted by two top-tier university-based organizations, but open to alumni of all schools
