Alternative investment managers, allocators, and select industry providers will gather at Club 101, 101 Park Avenue in New York City on Thursday, October 29, 2026, for Uncorrelated AltsOps 2026, a full-day conference dedicated to fund operations and operational due diligence (ODD). The event, hosted by Uncorrelated Alts and featuring B2i Digital as a Strategic Partner, aims to spotlight the operational rigor that allocators scrutinize before committing capital to alternative investment funds.
The significance of the gathering lies in its focus on the often-overlooked operational infrastructure that separates successful fund managers from those that fail to attract institutional backing. As David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., noted, “I’ve been around funds and public companies for 30+ years. The ones that last are run well behind the scenes, and that’s what this day is about. Allocators, family offices and private wealth in one room saying what they check before they commit. If you run a fund or allocate to one, it’s worth your Thursday.” The conference thus serves as a rare forum where both sides of the capital allocation equation—fund managers and investors—can openly discuss the operational criteria that drive investment decisions.
The agenda covers a range of timely topics, from attracting anchor and early-stage investors to allocating to alternatives through private placement life insurance (PPLI) and private placement variable annuities (PPVA). A session titled “How To Build A Massive Advantage With AI” will explore how artificial intelligence can enhance operational efficiency and decision-making, while a panel on “Diamond Supply-Chain Finance As An Uncorrelated Return Stream” will examine niche strategies for diversification. Additional discussions will address the family office perspective on alts, ODD essentials, partnering with service providers, and private wealth’s increasing move into alternatives.
Geoff Marcus, CEO and Co-Founder of Uncorrelated Alts, emphasized the event’s practical value: “Operations is where allocators separate the funds they back from the ones they pass on, and AltsOps puts both sides in one room for a day. We’re glad to have B2i Digital bringing its investor community to New York with us.” The conference is co-hosted by Dime Community Bank, EFSI, Inti Advisors, and U-Alts, with EN Capital as Diamond Sponsor.
For those interested in attending, event details and registration are available through the conference page, while the full agenda and speaker list can be found on the Uncorrelated Alts website. Registration can be completed via the registration portal, and separate sign-up for the evening networking event, After Alts, is available through Luma. B2i Digital’s reach extends to over 1,200 news, broadcast, and trade outlets with a combined monthly audience exceeding 330 million, and its community includes more than 1.7 million investors and market participants.
The conference arrives as alternative investments continue to gain traction among family offices and private wealth clients seeking uncorrelated returns. By focusing on operational due diligence, Uncorrelated AltsOps 2026 underscores that sound back-office processes and transparent service-provider relationships are not merely compliance requirements but critical differentiators in a competitive fundraising environment. The event’s emphasis on AI and emerging strategies like diamond supply-chain finance further signals where the industry is heading, making it a key date for anyone involved in alternative assets.
