Alternative Investing Summit 2026

The summit takes place at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, California.

The listed audiences include pension representatives, endowments, foundations, family offices, and consultants.

It is most useful for pension, endowment, foundation and family office investors and their consultants who want to hear about private credit, tokenization, AI-driven allocation and due diligence practices, since those groups form the stated audience and the themes are specific to alternatives. The sponsor list is mostly small service firms and media outlets such as AltsWire and Block24Seven, so managers hoping to meet large institutional names through sponsors will find little there, and investors seeking a traditional-assets program would get less.

Institutional investor gatherings usually call for business casual to business attire, and a resort setting in Dana Point in December leans toward jackets without ties and smart evening wear.
