Nothing has altered the alternative investment landscape in recent years more than the influx of institutional investment. As assets from pension plans, endowments and foundations have shifted into hedge funds and funds of funds, the structure of the entire industry is evolving to meet the unique requirements of these investors.

The 14th Annual Institutional Investment Conference, April 6 – 8, 2008 in San Francisco, will focus squarely on the growing influence of institutional investors. What types of funds are these investors interested in? Which strategies attract them, and which scare them off? What can institutions learn from more experienced alts investors? What role should consultants and funds of funds play in the investment process - if any? What organizational changes do managers need to make to market to and service this client base? What can they learn from their counterparts in private equity and traditional asset management?

Drawing heavily from the Bay Area's burgeoning investment community, as well from around the world, this conference will feature speakers from leading hedge funds and fund-of-funds; investment officers from pensions, endowments and foundations; investment consultants; and family offices.
