Global Alts Asia 2026 takes place November 16 to 18 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. It is the Asia-Pacific capital introduction event where institutional allocators and fund managers hold pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings: more than 5,000 across three days, with nearly half initiated by allocators. Registration is complimentary for qualified allocators who commit to taking onsite meetings. Managers attend on AUM-based pricing as iConnections members.
Asia-Pacific is where a growing share of alternatives capital is being allocated, and the hardest part of accessing it has never been interest. It is the logistics of getting the right allocators and the right managers in the same conversations. Global Alts Asia exists to remove that friction: three days of pre-scheduled, pre-vetted meetings at Marina Bay Sands, with the scheduling done on the iConnections platform before anyone boards a plane.
What is Global Alts Asia 2026?
Global Alts Asia is iConnections’ Asia-Pacific flagship capital introduction event. It brings together institutional allocators and fund managers for one-on-one meetings, curated panels, and discussions led by industry thought leaders.
The 2026 edition runs November 16 to 18 at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. It is part of the Global Alts series alongside Miami, New York, and, from 2027, Europe.
How do the pre-scheduled meetings work?
Every meeting is scheduled in advance through the iConnections platform. Attendees build their schedules before they arrive, so the three days onsite are spent in qualified conversations rather than open networking.
Two features define the format. First, meetings are pre-vetted for fit: you choose who you see based on strategy, track record, and mandate. Second, a large share of meetings are allocator-initiated, which means managers are frequently meeting LPs who asked to see them. Across Global Alts Asia, more than 5,000 one-on-one meetings run across the three days.
Who attends Global Alts Asia?
The allocator side spans single family offices, multi-family offices, funds of funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments and foundations, banks and insurers, and pensions. Family offices make up the largest share of the allocator audience, and the most common seniority levels are C-suite and founders, followed by directors and managers.
The manager side spans hedge fund strategies, long-only, private credit, digital assets, venture capital, liquid credit, real estate and infrastructure, multi-strategy, and private equity. By firm size, the audience ranges from sub-$100M emerging managers to platforms above $3B.
Service providers attend to reach both groups, through sponsorships, panels, and hosted experiences.
What does it cost to attend?
Registration is complimentary for qualified institutional allocators who commit to taking onsite meetings. Fund managers attend on AUM-based pricing and must be iConnections members. Service providers participate through tiered sponsorship packages.
How has the event grown?
Global Alts Asia has grown every year since launch. One-on-one meetings have risen from 962 in 2022 to more than 1,700 in 2023, more than 2,600 in 2024, and more than 3,100 in 2025, with roughly half of meetings allocator-initiated. The 2026 edition continues that trajectory.
