Alternative investment managers, allocators, and select industry providers will convene at Club 101, 101 Park Avenue in New York City on Thursday, October 29, 2026, for Uncorrelated AltsOps 2026, a full-day event focused on fund operations and operational due diligence (ODD). Hosted by Uncorrelated Alts and featured by B2i Digital, the conference aims to bridge the gap between fund managers and the investors who allocate capital to them, with sessions designed to illuminate the operational criteria that often determine which funds secure backing and which are passed over.
The event comes at a time when operational resilience and transparency are under heightened scrutiny from allocators, particularly as private wealth and family offices increase their exposure to alternatives. According to David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, Inc., “The ones that last are run well behind the scenes, and that’s what this day is about. Allocators, family offices and private wealth in one room saying what they check before they commit.” His remarks underscore the conference’s practical focus: giving fund managers direct insight into the due diligence checklists that investors apply before writing checks.
The agenda features panels on attracting anchor and early-stage investors, allocating to alternatives through private placement life insurance and variable annuities, building an AI advantage, and the family office perspective on alts. A dedicated session, “ODD Essentials: What Allocators Look For Before They Invest,” will feature speakers from Inti Advisors, Talpion Fund Management, Titan Advisors, and J.P. Morgan Alternative Asset Management, offering a rare window into the operational red flags and green lights that allocators weigh. Other sessions will cover diamond supply-chain finance as an uncorrelated return stream, partnering with service providers to grow a fund, and private wealth’s move into alternatives.
Geoff Marcus, CEO and Co-Founder of Uncorrelated Alts, emphasized the significance of operations in the allocation decision: “Operations is where allocators separate the funds they back from the ones they pass on, and AltsOps puts both sides in one room for a day.” The conference’s structure, which includes investor insight tables and evening networking, is designed to foster candid dialogue between capital providers and fund managers, potentially reshaping how managers approach their operational infrastructure.
B2i Digital, a Strategic Partner of the event, will amplify the conference’s reach through its media network, which spans over 1,200 news, broadcast, and trade outlets with a combined monthly audience exceeding 330 million, as well as a community of more than 1.7 million investors and market participants. The firm’s involvement signals the growing intersection of digital media and alternative investment conferences, broadening the conversation beyond the room.

For those following the alternative investment space, the conference’s emphasis on ODD reflects a broader shift: as competition for capital intensifies, operational excellence is no longer a back-office concern but a front-and-center differentiator. The event’s co-hosts include Dime Community Bank, EFSI, Inti Advisors, and U-Alts, with EN Capital as Diamond Sponsor. The original release can be viewed via www.newmediawire.com.
