DealCatalyst's Fixed Income Alternatives Conference is proud to be part of Dubai Future Finance Week, hosted by DIFC.*

This year, the conference takes a new format: a half-day series of four private, invitation-only workshops. It offers an intimate alternative to the week's large-format events, giving a select group of international managers and service providers direct access to the local LP and GP community.

Attendance is limited to 75 to 100 participants, including local LPs and GPs, international CLO managers, banks, law firms, and rating agencies. Each session brings together 20 to 30 LPs for candid discussion and open Q&A, so every topic gets more depth than a traditional panel allows.

Roundtable Sessions
Alternative Investments Overview: LP Roundtable
CLO Investing 101
Asset-Based Finance
Direct Lending

Schedule
8:00am-9:00am: LP Welcome Breakfast
10:00am-12:30pm: Private roundtable sessions
12:30pm-2:30pm: Networking lunch
2:30pm: Event closes

*Under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance UAE, and President of DIFC
