As part of its aspiration to disseminate the results of its academic research programmes as widely as possible, the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre has launched a circuit of three academic conferences allowing industry practitioners and academic representatives to meet and exchange views on the themes most relevant to the investment management industry in its largest context:
• EDHEC Institutional Days
• EDHEC Asset Management Days
• EDHEC Alternative Investment Days
In order to clearly differentiate itself from the numerous industry conferences available to professionals in Europe, the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre has designed a circuit of events that have very distinct features:
• Unbiased, academic content: The conference programmes are based on EDHEC's reasearch programmes. All presentations are made by EDHEC representatives during sessions in which a panel of industry experts led by a high calibre chairman can discuss the presentation made in order to bring an external point of view.
• A non-commercial approach: EDHEC conferences promote thought leadership rather than commercial sales pitches. This non-commercial approach is reinforced by the limited number of industry sponsors that can support each event.
• A diverse, high quality audience: Due to its academic and not-for-profit nature, EDHEC privileges the quality of its audience, rather than the quantity, and communication efforts can therefore be focused towards the most relevant decision-makers.
EDHEC conferences benefit from exclusive media coverage through the strong and long-term relationships that EDHEC has built with some of the most influential media (FT Mandate, IPE, Hedge Funds Review, etc.).
Previous sponsors include some of the most prestigious names in the industry. Over 60% of our sponsors have been involved in more than one event, demonstrating the fact that the overall sponsorship experience was considered to be more than satisfactory both in terms of image and in terms of commercial and networking success.
For organisations interested in being associated with EDHEC's events, three sponsorship packages are available depending on the level of visibility required, details of which may be found in the attached brochure.
