Preliminary Agenda

Note on Registration

LPs participate at no cost.  Non-LPs and IR/BD staff of LPs have to pay a minimum donation of USD $750/person to UNICEF as of Monday, October 26, 2020, 12:01 am EDT.  Additionally, the number of non-LPs and IR/BD staff that can attend will be capped at 2 people per firm (this way GPs with much larger AUMs cannot flood the attendee list).

 

Once a registrant sends proof of donation (receipt) to events@alpineca.com, we will approve their registration for the conference.

Non-LP Registration:

1. Register for the event by signing up for the Zoom conference

2. Donate a minimum USD $750 per person to your respective UNICEF chapter with the note if applicable 'on behalf of LatAm Leaders in Investment'

3. Send donation receipt to events@alpineca.com

Note: If two people from the same firm want to join but have only donated USD $750 in total, only one can be accepted.

Admittance to the event is at the host's full discretion.  All charity verification and questions contact events@alpineca.com.  We look forward to posting all donating companies and the amount raised!

A Note on Materials: All approved participants will get an information packet and welcome email prior to the event.

A Note on Networking: We've built-in networking sessions to organically meet with people, share ideas and enter like-minded breakout rooms, but this is not a cap intro event.

 

Note on Registration

Security & Privacy

Your security is important to us. As such: you cannot dial-in to this meeting, you must enter through the Zoom app or link, and please try to use video. We want to protect the cybersecurity and identity of all participants and to prevent “Zoom-bombing”. You will not be able to join and stay in the party if you are not properly identified. We reserve the right to remove or deny access to any party for any reason at any time. Finally, we ask registered participants to not share their meeting IDs or links, these are unique for each guest. The co-hosts and speakers know 100% of the participants on the call. If we notice that you are sharing your registration, we will remove you and restrict you from accessing the event.
