In 2008, the markets have become a treacherous place to do business. Hedge fund Executives, Managers and Attorneys have to keep abreast of the latest industry news, trends and laws to ensure their continued success. Learn from experts on topics pertinent to your survival in these turbulent times.

Final quarter 2008 witnessed a record $152 billion withdrawal from the hobbled Hedge Fund market. This unprecedented level of redemption marked the end of an era. The rush to redeem, coupled with a scandal-riddled landscape, has had a drastic impact on Hedge Funds. Two years of record-breaking growth evaporated as assets returned to 2006 levels prompting a new mindset of "Adapt or Die." Join us as we learn the best way to navigate the uncharted waters ahead.

This conference will explore the latest hedge fund strategies and survival tactics. Learn how the current economic crisis will affect hedge fund strategies going forward, and get the inside track from hedge fund leaders and their advisors on what you need to know to meet the challenges and see the opportunities that lie ahead.
