Countdown begins for GAIM International in Monte Carlo

This year’s GAIM International at the Meridien Beach Plaza in Monaco looks set to be a success once again.

The 18th edition of the conference takes place on 18-20 June 2012 at Le Méridien Beach Plaza, Monte Carlo. Delegates have the opportunity to meet 250+ active investors in the Alternatives World over three days. 

Such luminary names as GLG Partners’ chief investment strategist Jamil Baz, Professor Niall Ferguson of Harvard University and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, principal of Universa Investments and of Black Swan fame will be speaking. While panel discussions will feature the likes of Gavyn Davies of Fulcrum Asset Management, Jane Buchan, CEO of PAAMCO and end investors ranging from Barclays Pension Fund to the Ohio State University.

GAIM International’s organiser, ICBI, has made this possible thanks to a series of ’30 seconds with…’ blogs on its website. As ICBI’s Senior Conference Director, Victoria Chatterton, commented in her blog, “I am a bit of a history geek so I am really looking forward to Niall Ferguson and Jamil Baz’s session on the limits of macroeconomic policy, I will certainly be taking notes!”

“I really enjoy the buzz around this event and the opportunity to meet so many interesting people. It’s mindboggling to think about how many business cards are exchanged in the space of the conference and how many new industry connections are made,” said Ms Chatterton.
