Jointly hosted by CAIA Canada West, CFA Society Calgary and AIMA Canada, the Calgary Alternative Investment Forum presents thought leadership and education in alternatives.

This year's focus is "Investing in the Artificial Intelligence Boom". We will discuss how the race to build the computing, power, data, and connectivity behind artificial intelligence is creating a new generation of investment opportunities and what the challenges are.
