Amid ongoing market turbulence and recession fears around the globe, this year’s SALT iConnections conference will focus on alternative investments and disruptive innovation in finance, economics and geopolitics — with panels on everything from the rise of artificial intelligence and climate change to longevity and the search for extraterrestrials.
It runs May 16-18 at the Glasshouse in New York City and features speakers from leading fund-of-funds, institutional allocators, sovereign-wealth funds and more.
It begins Tuesday with a “fireside chat” with Point72 Chairman and New York Mets owner Steven A. Cohen. Some of the other interesting events feature Voya Investment Management’s Gareth Shepherd on machine learning in asset management, Tally Health’s Melanie Goldey on life-extension therapies, JPMorgan Alternative Asset Management’s Paul Zummo on leveraging alternatives amid volatility, and AI Fund’s Andrew Ng on the next breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
