Alternative asset managers spend enormous time and budget chasing allocators across a fragmented conference calendar—one event for institutional allocators, another for wealth management gatekeepers, but rarely are both in the same room.

Alpha Edge changes that.

For the first time ever, Institutional Investor is bringing together the institutional and wealth management sides of the allocator universe under one roof in Dallas in the April of 2027. Chief investment officers and heads of portfolio management from pension funds, endowments, foundations and insurers will sit alongside RIA chief investment officers and portfolio decision-makers for shared general sessions on the biggest themes in alternative asset investing. They will then break out into dedicated tracks built around critical themes that matter the most to each specific audience.

The result for asset managers is one event and access to high-quality allocators that no single-audience event can match.
