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 forum and networking event for investment firms, asset managers, VCs, private equity firms, pension funds and hedge funds. Going beyond simple discovery we connect the ecosystem’s most influential data buyers and vendors to not only find new datasets but to master the utilization of alternative data. Join us to learn actionable insights, new capabilities and best practices to deploy new sources of alpha.

The Alternative Data Conference is built on the balance of discovery and strategy. Our 1-on-1 meetings connect innovative dataset suppliers with qualified buyers, while our premier content program delivers the ‘how-to’ on practical applications and strategic infrastructure.

Join our event for a deep dive into the practical applications and alpha-driving strategies unique to alternative data. This is the essential event for discovering new datasets and the practical strategies to make them count.

  • Agentic AI & LLMs in production: Moving beyond the hype to actual Alpha generation and failure analysis
  • The next gen data stack: Resolving the buy vs. build debate for high-velocity quant infrastructure

“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 Stewart, 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
