4:30 PM - geopolitics & alternatives: THE STATE OF THE WORLD

Geopolitical shifts are reshaping capital flows, risk frameworks, and investment strategies across the globe. From great power competition and regional conflicts to trade realignments, sanctions, and election cycles, the state of the world is increasingly tied to the performance of alternative assets. This panel brings together geopolitical experts and investors to unpack how today’s global dynamics create both risks and opportunities for allocators, fund managers, and family offices navigating the next era of alternatives.

• Speaker: Angelo Robles, CEO, SFO Continuity & Billionaire Mastermind 

5:25 PM - the hot topic: ai

Artificial intelligence has quickly become the most discussed theme in both technology and investing — but separating hype from investable reality is the real challenge.

Hear from investors and innovators at the front lines of AI adoption about where the real opportunities — and risks — lie for allocators today.

The Cayman Islands has emerged as a premier jurisdiction of choice for family offices, offering a unique combination of tax neutrality, sophisticated legal structures, and a world-class financial services ecosystem. With its stable regulatory framework, global connectivity, and growing reputation as a hub for innovation, Cayman provides family offices with the tools to preserve wealth, enhance privacy, and access international investment opportunities. This session introduces the key advantages of establishing and operating in Cayman, and why it continues to attract families seeking a trusted base for global capital.

10:15 AM - fireside chat: the next decade of alternative investments

The alternatives industry is at an inflection point. As private markets mature, capital flows globalize, and technology reshapes every asset class, the next decade will look markedly different from the last. In this candid fireside chat, leading voices in alternatives share their perspectives on where growth will come from, how investor expectations are shifting, and which strategies will define the future of the industry.

11:20 AM - INVESTING IN SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER FOR UNCORRELATED RETURNS

Space is rapidly moving from science fiction to investable reality. With breakthroughs in satellite technology, launch infrastructure, data applications, and orbital industries, the space economy is opening up entirely new avenues for capital deployment. This panel examines how investors can access the final frontier — from venture-backed space startups to downstream applications — and why space is emerging as a compelling source of uncorrelated returns in the alternatives landscape.

• Moderator: Meagan Murphy Crawford, Founder & Managing Partner, SpaceFund & Host of the Mission Eve Podcast

• Speaker: Marc X. LoPresti, CEO & Senior Market Strategist, Market Rebellion

12:15 PM - Real Assets in a Shifting Market

Real assets are regaining momentum as investors reallocate into tangible value and stable income. Commercial real estate, in particular, is emerging from the bottom of its cycle, with fresh allocations from family offices and institutions flowing back into the sector. At the same time, infrastructure is being reshaped by energy transition, logistics by nearshoring, and natural resources by global supply realignments. This panel convenes leading allocators and managers to explore where capital is moving across real estate, infrastructure, and resources — and how investors can position now to capture resilient, uncorrelated returns in the decade ahead.

1:05 pM - Lunch keynote

2:05 PM - the future of DIGITAL ASSETS

Beyond cryptocurrencies, digital assets, tokenization, and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) are transforming the way capital is raised, traded, and allocated. From private funds and real estate to credit and collectibles, tokenization and DATs promise new levels of liquidity, transparency, and investor access. This panel examines the current state of digital assets, the regulatory landscape shaping their adoption, and how tokenization and treasury structures could redefine the future of alternatives by unlocking efficiencies, enhancing balance sheet strategies, and expanding the universe of investable opportunities.

• Speaker: Jon Najarian, Co-Founder, Market Rebellion

3:00 PM - THE POWER OF PRIVATE EQUITY

3:50 PM - NETWORKING BREAK

4:05 PM - HIDDEN NICHES: STRATEGIES BEYOND THE MAINSTREAM

Some of the most compelling investment opportunities live outside the spotlight. From overlooked corners of credit and real assets to unconventional structures and emerging asset classes, niche strategies can deliver diversification and uncorrelated returns where mainstream categories cannot. This panel brings together managers who specialize in finding alpha in the hidden niches of alternatives — strategies that defy categorization but can play a powerful role in forward-looking portfolios.

• Panelist: Conrad Wicker, Founder & Managing Partner, Amplifi

5:00 PM - DATA: THE NEXT SOURCE OF ALPHA

As markets become more efficient, traditional sources of alpha are harder to capture — pushing investors to seek new edges in alternative data. From geospatial intelligence and consumer transaction records to proprietary corporate datasets and real-time analytics, data is increasingly the raw material for differentiated strategies. This panel explores how managers are sourcing, structuring, and monetizing data, and why allocators view it as one of the most powerful emerging drivers of uncorrelated returns.

7:00 PM - THE BIG PARTY

Our highly anticipated Monday evening cocktail party will be a can’t-miss experience, featuring an immersive visual display and curated DJ sets playing music at an enjoyable, conversational volume. This event is designed to create a space where LPs, investors, fund managers, and service providers can connect seamlessly.

9:55 AM - The Rise of SMAs: Customization, Transparency & Control in Alternatives

Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) are becoming a preferred structure for allocators seeking greater transparency, liquidity, and control over their alternative investments. This panel will explore how Cayman’s regulatory and operational framework supports SMA growth, why family offices and institutional investors are increasingly choosing them over traditional fund vehicles, and the opportunities they create for managers to build bespoke, scalable client relationships. Learn from leading allocators, legal experts, and managers on the practical advantages, tax and governance considerations, and where SMA adoption is headed in the next investment cycle.
