    Alliance Events

     

    		  
     

    Alliance Events are known for a welcoming and collegial atmosphere unlike anything else in the industry. Our events are intimate and purposeful – no large auditoriums or exhibition halls.

    Content is always driven by member needs, covering everything from on-the-ground challenges to high-level firm strategy and the latest industry research. Event formats range from intimate luncheons to three-day conferences. 

    Alliance members and partners receive seats to each event as part of their membership; select events are also open to non-members. To discover which option is best for you, we invite you to read more below and submit a Membership Inquiry.
