Gaining the Edge - Cap Intro New York 2022 will take place in person on November 2 & 3 at the New York Marriott Marquis. It will also include 3 weeks of virtual meetings from October 31 through November 18, which will allow registrants from Europe, the Middle East and Asia to participate. The event will be dedicated to 1-1 capital introduction meetings between managers, allocators and a limited number of service providers.

BENEFITS FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS:

  1. Quality of event. We expect this event to be one of the largest and highest quality in-person and virtual cap intro events in the alternative investment industry.
