Details

The fourth edition of the quarterly Alternative Data Breakfast Series, hosted by Jordan Hauer (CEO & Founder at Amass Insights) and Boris Liberman (Partner & Co-Chair at Lowenstein Sandler), and featuring Carrie Anton (Director of Research & Data Management at Jain Global), Tim Baker (CEO at viaNEXUS), and Freeman Lewin (CEO & Co-Founder at Brickroad), will dive deeper into how artificial intelligence is transforming the real-world data economy for institutional investors. This session moves beyond the usual AI buzzwords to examine how LLMs and agentic AI are being embedded into workflows at both cutting-edge hedge funds and bleeding-edge data vendors, along with the resulting risks, challenges and opportunities.

We'll explore the implications of deploying AI across borders and applications, where it's not just disrupting traditional investment processes, but redefining what it means to be a data provider, data buyer, and alpha seeker. Finally, we'll offer practical steps for mitigating AI-related risks, including compliance pitfalls, IP exposure, and model governance concerns.

We highly encourage audience participation and interaction throughout the event, with a fresh, dynamic lineup of buy-side experts, AI-native data providers, and legal specialists. This off-the-record, high-signal conversation is designed for professionals navigating the complexities of AI integration or seeking actionable insights on the future of alternative data. Expect a concise, practitioner-focused forum to connect, learn, and ask your toughest questions.
