Following the success of last year’s initiative, AIMA is once again offering members the opportunity to be paired with professionals across our global membership for 1-to-1 networking.

In Summer 2024, over 80 individuals took part in the programme. Of these, 50% had over 10 years’ industry experience and 20% had under 5 years, with around 250 meetings arranged globally.

If you or a colleague would like to take part this year, please share the following details with Amy Whitington by Friday 16 May 2025:

1. Name
2. Job title and role (for role, please choose from: legal/ compliance; investor relations/ business development; trading/ portfolio management; or other [please specify])
3. Firm
4. Location (this is a global opportunity, subject to participation)
5. Industry experience (choose from: less than 5 years; 5-10 years; or 10+ years)
6. Preferred experience level of your match (choose from: smaller level; same level; or greater level)
7. Preferred role of your match (choose from: legal/ compliance; investor relations/ business development; trading/ portfolio management; or other [please specify])
8. Meeting preference (please choose from: virtual only; in-person only; or no preference/flexible)
9. Number of individuals you would like to be paired with (choose from: 1; 1-3; or 4+)

AIMA will aim to match participants based on preferences and interest. Pairings will be shared via email by Monday 2 June and it will be up to each pair to arrange a time to connect over the summer.

Once connected, we ask participants to let us know if:

1. A meeting took place; or
2. You did not hear back from your match and would like to be re-paired.

Please let Aniqah Rao know if you have any questions.
