In mid-January 2022, South Florida will host thousands of alternative investment fund managers and investors attending multiple capital introduction conferences. Gaining the Edge, one of the industry’s prominent thought leaders and event organisers, has announced a strategy to improve networking across these multiple events while raising money for charities that benefit at risk youth.
Gaining the Edge will host a day of charitable, social activities open to all industry professionals including those attending other cap intro events on Saturday, 22 January, directly following its Gaining the Edge Cap Intro Florida conference.
Opening participation to attendees of other, potentially competing, events is made possible by Gaining the Edge’s commitment to donate 100 per cent profits to charities that benefit at-risk youth. The four confirmed events include a charity golf tournament hosted at PGA National (with registration only recently opened the tournament is already 40 per cent sold out), a charity Everglades airboat tour, a charity tennis clinic/tournament hosted at PGA National, and a charity sunset cruise.
Record high participation rates are anticipated for these Florida conferences with many companies attending multiple events. This is due to a projected surge in manager search activity amid what is expected to be the greatest asset-raising environment in the history of the alternative asset industry.
Don Steinbrugge, CEO and Founder of Gaining the Edge, says: “Professionals in the alternative investment industry are eager to resume in-person conferences and meet people face to face. As they travel to Florida to attend one or several of the conferences, many are looking for to meet with industry peers, share ideas, and have fun. We believe these charitable events are a great way to promote industry-wide camaraderie while also raising money for a great cause.”
