The CAIA Association and CFA Society Denmark cordially invite you to the 3rd European Alternative Investments Conference on October 7th, 2026, a premier gathering where leading professionals in alternative investments convene to explore cutting-edge research from top academics and financial experts.

This year’s agenda features thought-provoking keynote speeches on inflation, and that the conventional understanding of inflation may be severely outdated. We will hear from one of the leading front figures in the managed futures industry how to generate crisis alpha in inflationary times. Also, artificial intelligence is transforming alternative investments—particularly private equity—by providing a competitive edge in sourcing, assessing, and managing investments, while introducing new risks related to data quality and over-reliance.

Following the first three keynote speeches, we will also learn more about, if alternative investments still offer strong risk adjusted returns and diversification, while investors might be prioritizing liquidity, specific risk premia, and inflation hedging. Finally, complexity is everywhere in financial markets, especially those deemed as “alternative”. The keynote speaker raises the question, are complexity under-considered as part of a portfolio construction process?

This is the leading alternatives conference in Europe and a must-attend event for alternative investment professionals—a hub for knowledge-sharing, networking, and advancing expertise in the field.

As a non-profit initiative, this conference is dedicated solely to enhancing valuable industry knowledge and fostering collaboration among investment professionals.

Please note that the agenda is in draft mode; however, several keynote speakers and panel participants have already been confirmed. We kindly encourage you to check back regularly for updates.
