4th CAIF

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Star Power: How to be Unstoppable, Mike Lipkin, Environics/Lipkin

With over 150 delegates in attendance, the 4th Canadian Alternative Investment Forum held at CI Financial in Toronto was a great success!

Karen Azlen, CEO of Introduction Capital, opened up the day with a warm welcome highlighting the importance of meaningful communication in the industry.  Neal Kerr, President of CI Investments, delivered opening remarks and provided important commentary on CI’s recent moves into the alternative investment space. Attendees enjoyed five diverse panels from hedge funds to debt financing, and an invigorating keynote address from motivational speaker Mike Lipkin (Environics/Lipkin) on “How to be Unstoppable”.  The day was filled with valuable networking opportunities and a post-conference cocktail reception. The feedback from the conference has been very positive and we are already working on making next year’s Forum even more rewarding for delegates.

TESTIMONIALS

You did it again. You gathered some of the most innovative and interesting people in the alternative-investment industry to share their strategies and their stories. Each panelist brings their unique approach, giving us new ideas of how to generate returns and avoid risks. David Kaufman proved again that he is a masterful moderator. A highlight for me this year was Mike Lipkin’s talk, one of the most transformative and engaging presentations I’ve ever experienced.

I just wanted to thank you for allowing me to attend your conference. It was without a doubt first class! It was nice to re-connect with some managers I had not seen for some time.
