9:20 AM - State of Alternatives: Allocating in a Fragmented Market

As traditional portfolios face increasing pressure from volatility, inflation, and shifting correlations, alternative investments are moving from optional to essential. This opening panel brings together leading allocators and managers to assess the current landscape across private markets, real assets, and emerging strategies. The discussion will focus on where capital is flowing, how portfolio construction is evolving, and which segments of the alternatives universe are offering the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities today.

10:05 AM - Venture Capital: Navigating the Next Innovation Cycle

After a period of rapid expansion and subsequent recalibration, venture capital is entering a more disciplined phase—one that may offer some of the most attractive entry points in years. This panel explores how leading investors are approaching early- and growth-stage opportunities across sectors, with a focus on valuation resets, capital efficiency, and the next wave of transformative technologies. Allocators will gain insight into how to underwrite venture exposure in a market that increasingly rewards selectivity and long-term conviction.

Moderator: Darren Eng, Executive Director, LAVA

10:50 AM - Closing the $250 Trillion Liquidity Trap with Digital Equities

The global middle market is facing a structural bottleneck: while roughly 45,000 companies make up the $110T public equity market, more than 5 million viable mid-market businesses remain private, illiquid, and difficult to access for institutional capital. This session explores the emergence of “Wall Street 3.0,” highlighting the shift from traditional, high-friction exchanges to internationally regulated digital equities platforms. Central to this evolution is the Institutional Digital Offering (IDO), a prospectus-grade, blockchain-native alternative to the IPO that enables 24/7 global liquidity, T+0 settlement, and fractional ownership. Together, these innovations represent a modernization of capital markets infrastructure, unlocking more efficient access to a vast and historically underserved opportunity set.

Speaker: Stephen Meade, Chairman and Founder, DigeXe

In this session, experienced lenders and capital providers discuss where the most attractive opportunities exist across direct lending, asset-backed finance, and specialty credit. The conversation will highlight structuring considerations, risk management frameworks, and how investors can balance yield generation with capital preservation in today’s credit cycle.

12:15 PM - Investing in Space & Defense: The New Frontier of Strategic Capital

Once the domain of governments, space and defense are rapidly becoming investable sectors driven by technological innovation, geopolitical priorities, and increasing private-sector participation. This panel examines how institutional and private investors are gaining exposure to areas such as aerospace infrastructure, satellite technology, and defense innovation. Speakers will explore the intersection of national security and commercial opportunity, and how capital is being deployed into a sector poised for long-term structural growth.

12:55 PM - LUNCH KEYNOTE: Special Entertainment Executive Fireside Chat

1:55 PM - Navigating the Shifting Entertainment & Media Market: Where Investors Win (and Lose)

The entertainment and media landscape is undergoing a structural transformation driven by streaming economics, platform fragmentation, and changing consumer behavior. For investors, the dispersion between winners and losers has never been wider. This panel examines where value is being created across content, distribution, and intellectual property—and where capital is being misallocated. Speakers will discuss evolving monetization models, the role of scale and ownership, and how to underwrite opportunities in an industry where hit-driven dynamics, data, and distribution control increasingly determine outcomes.

2:40 PM - Tokenization: Rewiring Financial Infrastructure

Tokenization is moving from concept to implementation, with the potential to fundamentally change how assets are owned, traded, and financed. This session examines the real-world applications of tokenized securities across private markets, real estate, and funds, as well as the infrastructure supporting them. Panelists will discuss liquidity implications, regulatory considerations, and whether tokenization represents incremental evolution or a step-change in how capital markets operate.

3:20 PM - Special Presentation - Tokenization of Real-World Assets

In this breakout session, Douglas Spencer explores how tokenization is beginning to reshape the infrastructure underlying private markets. As fund managers look for more efficient ways to handle ownership, liquidity, and investor access, blockchain-based structures are emerging as a potential unlock for long-standing frictions in the industry. The discussion will focus on how tokenization is being applied in practice, what it means for fund structuring and capital formation, and where the technology is realistically gaining traction today versus where it remains conceptual. A forward-looking conversation on how digital infrastructure could redefine how funds are built, operated, and accessed.

4:05 PM - Institutional Real Estate: Repricing, Dislocation, and Opportunity

This panel explores how investors are navigating shifting valuations, capital structure stress, and changing demand across sectors such as office, multifamily, industrial, and niche asset classes. Speakers will discuss where they are deploying capital today, how they are managing risk, and which strategies are best positioned to capitalize on the current dislocation.

Emerging Manager Readiness Series

The Emerging Manager Readiness Series — held in the morning — focuses on how emerging managers are evaluated from the allocator's perspective, operationally, structurally, and in practice. Rather than focusing on "how to raise capital," the emphasis is on where early judgments are made, what matters most to allocators, and why readiness often determines outcomes long before capital is deployed. This is a practical, experience-driven session grounded in how institutional decisions are actually made.

9:00 AM - Sports Investing: Franchises, Media, and the Business of Fandom

Sports have evolved into a global asset class driven by media rights, brand value, and scarce franchise ownership. This panel explores how investors are gaining exposure to the sports ecosystem—from direct team ownership and leagues to adjacent opportunities in media, betting, and infrastructure. The discussion will focus on valuation dynamics, access points, and why sports assets have attracted increasing institutional interest.

9:45 AM - AI & Alternatives: Intelligence as an Investment Edge

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how capital is deployed, managed, and analyzed across alternative investments. This panel explores how AI is being integrated into sourcing, underwriting, portfolio management, and operational efficiency across private markets. Speakers will also examine AI as an investable theme itself—where capital is flowing, where the hype may be ahead of reality, and how allocators can position portfolios to benefit from one of the most powerful technological shifts in decades.

10:40 AM - Puerto Rico 101: Tax, Structure, and Strategic Opportunity

Puerto Rico continues to attract investors, entrepreneurs, and fund managers seeking a compelling combination of tax efficiency and lifestyle advantages. In this session, Michael Nelson provides a practical overview of the island’s Act 60 incentives, residency requirements, and structuring considerations for individuals and investment vehicles. Designed for those evaluating a potential move or allocation strategy tied to Puerto Rico, this presentation cuts through the noise to focus on what matters most from a capital and compliance perspective.

11:25 AM - Family Office Perspective

Family offices have become some of the most strategically positioned pools of private capital globally, yet their perspective rarely makes it to the main stage. In this panel, principals and advisors offer a candid look at how family office investment programs are evolving — how alternatives allocations are being constructed, how tax and regulatory considerations shape portfolio strategy, and how the next generation of wealth holders is influencing mandate and risk appetite. A rare window into how family capital actually approaches manager selection, structuring, and long-term wealth preservation.

12:10 PM - Data Centers: Powering the Digital Economy

As demand for cloud computing, AI, and digital infrastructure accelerates, data centers have emerged as a critical—and capital-intensive—asset class.

The lines between alcohol and cannabis are beginning to blur as shifting regulation, consumer preferences, and corporate strategy reshape both industries. This panel explores how investors are evaluating opportunities across branded products, distribution platforms, and emerging THC-infused beverages, as well as the growing involvement of major alcohol companies in the cannabis ecosystem.
