PAST SPEAKERS

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS CONFERENCE

The LSE SU Alternative Investments Conference (AIC) was founded by a group of committed and entrepreneurial undergraduate students in 2005 who aimed to create a forum for rich dialogue and debate between the world’s leading figures within alternative investments, and students keen to learn more about the industry.

Since then, the AIC has become the world’s largest student conference on Hedge Funds, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. Recognized worldwide, the Alternative Investments Conference brings together over 40 senior-level industry luminaries with 320 student delegates from many of the world’s leading educational institutions, in order to educate the next generation of business leaders.

AIC 2022 IS BACK WITH A PHYSICAL CONFERENCE!

Last year we had AIC Conversations* to overcome the limitations of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and it was a huge success. Still, we know that we could never offer the same fulfilling experience online as we could face-to-face. So for the 2021/22 academic year, we are back with a physical conference!

Our applications for student delegates are now closed. If you have any questions, please reach out through the Contact Us section of our website, and we will be happy to answer them. Follow us on social media platforms to make sure you don't miss anything!

* AIC Conversations is a virtual interview series that boasts a line-up of 61 speakers over the past year. To learn more go to AIC Conversations.
