This event is virtual, where managers give online presentations, followed by virtual private meetings. The event concludes with a virtual networking reception. Participants are given access to a dedicated online Event Portal, where the agenda, meetings, event binder and delegates are listed.
The introductions are arranged prior the events, in an investor driven fashion based on the merits of each investment manager and the requests made by the investors. There are no service providers, only managers and investors.

This event production builds on Catalyst’s history and successful track record in putting together industry-recognized and effective capital raising events.
