Yes.

What if I register but don’t get any meetings?

It is our objective for all alternative managers that participate in our event to have a large number of confirmed meetings. However, it is ultimately up to the investors to choose which funds they would like to meet with and Gaining the Edge cannot guarantee that a manager will be successful in confirming meetings. We will not be providing any refunds.

What happens if an investor does not show up for a scheduled meeting time or they have internet connection issues and are unable to participate in the meeting?

Gaining the Edge will provide the investor contact information to the manager and it will be up to both parties to follow up and schedule a meeting at a convenient time.
