Highlights: Networking Opportunities
Exceptional networking opportunities in the exclusive surrounds of Boca Raton Resort with the largest quality gathering of hedge fund industry decision makers anywhere in the States
GAIM USA in January has once again elected to stay at the exclusive Boca Raton Resort & Club as a most appropriate and suitable venue to host the largest gathering of hedge funds in the US. With so many influential people to meet at GAIM USA you gave us feedback that you needed MORE networking opportunities at the event and you’ll be pleased to note that we have significantly expanded the opportunities available for all attendees including:
3rd Annual Invitational HSBC Golf Tournament: Hedge Fund Managers, Fund of Funds Managers and Institutional Investors; you are cordially invited to attend the 3rd Annual HSBC Invitational Golf Tournament. The outing will take place on The Championship 18-Hole Course at the Boca Raton Resort. The course plays a total of 6,253 yards from the back tees and is a par 71. Participants are also invited for cocktails and appetizers at the clubhouse following the tournament. To inquire about participating in this exclusive event, complete with contests, prizes and giveaways, please contact HSBC directly - Brian Lucente at 212.715.6449 or Brian.Lucente@us.hsbc.com
GAIM Boca Sunset Welcome Reception: An easy and enjoyable way to catch up with friends and associates as well as meet new faces. Make sure to relax with a cocktail or two before the event gets started in earnest. The Welcome Cocktail Reception is also a great place to meet friends before heading out for dinner at the exclusive resort restaurants or further afield.
Exclusive End-Investors’ Dinner: This event gives end- investors a unique opportunity to network and exchange ideas in an intimate, exclusive environment. If you are an end-investor and would like to join the influential and innovative investors at GAIM USA 2008, we have a limited number of places available for delegates from pension funds, endowments, foundations, single family offices, proprietary investors or private banks. Please send your request to attend the dinner to GAIM USA Event Director, Amanda Rodrigues at arodrigues@iirusa.com
Gala Opening Night Cocktail Reception: Don’t miss this superb networking opportunity to meet and mingle with the most influential movers and shakers of the hedge fund industry aboard one of the largest, most glamorous yachts in the Florida waterways, generously hosted by Bank of New York Mellon. Catch up with your key contacts at the start of the year in the convivial surrounds of the Opening Night Reception at the newly renovated luxury marina.
Cordials and Cigars Reception: Back by popular demand after a hugely popular entree at GAIM USA 2007, the late evening Cordials and Cigars Reception, hosted by Northern Trust, offers you yet another unique opportunity to catch up with those faces you might have missed earlier. Remember, there will be several hundred people to meet at GAIM USA 2008 – take advantage of this exclusive poolside reception to make yet more contacts.
GAIM USA Champagne Round Tables: A huge success when launched at the GAIM USA 2007 event, we are bringing back the champagne round tables in a new format for 2008. You will still have the opportunity to network with many of the speaker faculty, investors and managers while enjoying a glass of champagne. To make sure that you get even more opportunities to exchange business cards we will be circulating tables at 15 minute intervals so there will be even more opportunities for you to make more introductions. Speakers, plus leading consultants and hedge fund of funds will be hosts of the individual round tables.
A Brand New, Final Night Cocktail Reception: After two full days attending the conference and networking, kick back and enjoy a relaxing evening at the brand new Cocktail Reception. A great time for you to meet many of the speakers in less formal surroundings and yet more of the international managers and investors at the event. Limited opportunities exist for hedge fund managers to host special networking tables and raise their profiles with the global end-investors at the cocktail reception.
