WoMAN: Inaugural Midwest Women in Alternatives Networking Luncheon
Join us for the inaugural gathering of WoMAN—Women of the Midwest Alternatives Network—a new community created to connect and support women across the alternatives industry.
Hosted by Akram & Associates, Apex Group and Houlihan Capital, this intimate luncheon will bring together fund managers, allocators, advisors and service providers from across the alternatives ecosystem. Whether you manage a fund, allocate capital, advise investment firms or provide essential industry services, you are an important part of this community.
Our goal is to create a welcoming forum where women can build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, identify opportunities and keep one another top of mind. This luncheon will focus on introductions, conversation and genuine connection as we launch an ongoing series of gatherings throughout the Midwest.
