Talking Hedge is a marketplace of ideas

Designed to bring hedge fund managers and investors together to talk about the complex issues, solutions, and opportunities in alternative investing. Each event is crafted to stimulate conversations and help both sides meet today’s challenges. Founder, Meg Bode, has been starting conversations between investors and managers for more than two decades.

Our goal at Talking Hedge Events is to provide fresh perspectives on the alternative investment marketplace to benefit institutional investors, alternative investment managers, intermediaries, and industry solutions providers.
