Finding untapped alpha requires looking where your peers aren’t.

Over 50% of the data providers at our upcoming London summit have not been part of the usual European industry event circuit.

Your Gateway to the Alternative Data Ecosystem.  Now in its 8th year, the Eagle Alpha Alternative Data Conference, managed by A-Team Group, is the premier content and networking forum for investment firms and hedge funds using alternative data.

Why you must attend:

  • Meet new data vendors and discover new data sources through strictly gated, curated 1:1 meetings
  • Benchmark with peers tackling similar challenges
  • Hear from buy-side leaders and understand what’s actually working today
  • Get the inside edge to power up your alternative data strategy

The London Edition is focused on the practical realities of building, scaling, and governing alternative data programmes in a European regulatory and market context. Going beyond simple discovery, the event brings together the most influential data buyers, vendors, and infrastructure providers to explore how alternative data is actually deployed – from validation and workflow design to portfolio integration and risk management.

The conference combines curated 1-to-1 meetings between innovative data providers and qualified buyers with a senior-level content programme delivering practical guidance on real-world implementation and strategic infrastructure.

2026 topics:

  • Agentic AI & alternative data workflows – moving beyond models to how AI agents are reshaping data discovery, validation, and consumption
  • Textual alternative data: beyond news and earnings – extracting signal from filings, transcripts, corporate disclosures, and niche text sources
  • Data quality, validation and signal decay – enrichment strategies, decay measurement, and the shift from raw feeds to contextualised data products
  • Building & scaling an alternative data function – practical guidance on organisational models, skills, ownership, and operating structures
  • Legal, privacy & data provenance in Europe – managing GDPR risk, cross-jurisdictional data exposure, and regulatory scrutiny
  • Intraday & high-frequency alternative data – when higher frequency truly matters, engineering implications, and why more timestamps more insight
  • Beyond equities – applying alternative data across credit, commodities, FX, rates, and private markets
  • Prediction markets and political data – understanding signal reliability, bias, and portfolio relevance
  • Corporates, consultants & non-traditional data producers – how new data suppliers are entering the ecosystem – and how to evaluate them
  • Exchanges, clearing houses and market infrastructure as data providers – the growing role of core market institutions in alternative and derived data

“I found the conference to be very well attended with a nice mix of data buyers and data vendors, and the content to be very targeted at issues that the investment community is facing. My schedule was packed solid with qualified 1:1 meetings with data buyers that had done research on our data offering and came with targeted questions about our products. It was very refreshing to have that level of engagement, and the calibre of the one-on-one meetings was exceptional, including many large hedge fund buyers of data. I came away with many leads to follow up on for new business opportunities and made several new contacts with other data providers.”
Jamie Stuart, Managing Director, State Street

“As a new vendor in the alternative data space, this event has given us a huge leg up. We were fully booked with introductory meetings! Between the pre-scheduled one-to-one sessions and the organic conversations, we received a massive return on investment and left with several new opportunities.”
Christopher Wichman, Business Development Manager, Geotab
