ABOUT

AIMA's Global Policy & Regulatory Forum, held annually, is our leading policy and regulatory event. It provides an important opportunity for the alternative investment industry to meet and engage with senior policymakers and regulators from around the world. In 2019, nearly 300 members from across the region and world came together in New York to discuss the disruption and new opportunities created by technological change. We are delighted to return to Paris in 2020.

​

The event will open on Wednesday 1 April with an evening welcome reception. The main conference day on Thursday 2 April will feature lunchtime workshops and afternoon break-out sessions. AIMA is committed to bringing all aspects of the industry together to discuss the issues that matter. We are delighted that each year we are joined by leading and next generation managers, global regulators, investors and service providers from across the globe.
