Global Alts Miami 2027 takes place February 22 to 25 at Miami Beach. It is the largest capital introduction event in the industry: 6,000+ attendees, 1,500+ institutional allocators, 1,200+ fund managers, and more than 21,000 pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings across four days, with nearly half initiated by allocators. Registration is complimentary for qualified allocators who commit to taking 15 onsite meetings.
Every February, the alternatives industry has one week where the entire LP-GP meeting calendar compresses into a single venue. Global Alts Miami is that week: the largest concentration of qualified allocators at any single event globally, with the meeting schedules built on Violet, the iConnections platform before anyone checks into a hotel.
What Is Global Alts Miami 2027?
Global Alts Miami is the iConnections flagship capital introduction event, bringing together institutional allocators, fund managers, and service providers for four days of pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings and peer-led content.
The 2027 edition runs February 22 to 25 at Miami Beach. It is part of the Global Alts series alongside New York, Asia, and, debuting in April 2027, Europe.
How Big Is It?
The 2027 numbers: 6,000+ attendees, 1,500+ institutional allocators spanning pensions, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth, family offices, and fund-of-funds, and 1,200+ fund managers across hedge funds, private equity, private credit, real assets, venture, and digital assets. More than 21,000 meetings are scheduled at the single event, and 200+ speakers, including pension CIOs, endowment heads, and sovereign wealth leaders, lead the content program.
The meeting density is the structural difference. Pre-vetted, pre-scheduled, and optimized for fit, four days at Miami accomplish what months of outbound sourcing would.
How Do the Meetings Work?
Every meeting is scheduled in advance through Violet, the iConnections platform. Attendees build their schedules before they arrive, choosing who they see based on strategy, track record, and fit, so the four days onsite are spent in qualified conversations rather than open networking.
The defining stat: nearly half of all onsite meetings are allocator-initiated. LPs drive the agenda, choose their meetings, and control their time, which is why managers consistently report that Miami compresses their fundraising timeline by months.
Who Should Attend, and What Does It Cost?
Allocators: registration is complimentary for qualified institutional allocators who commit to taking 15 onsite meetings. In exchange: a pre-scheduled calendar of managers you have already vetted, peer-led content from fellow CIOs, and access to 1,200+ fund managers, including emerging managers not on your current radar.
Managers: access to 1,500+ institutional allocators, the largest concentration of qualified LPs at any single event globally. Meetings are with decision-makers, not gatekeepers: CIOs, heads of alternatives, and portfolio managers with real allocation authority. Whether a $50B platform or a $200M emerging manager, every firm gets access to the same allocators, and Violet, the iConnections platform surfaces best fits rather than biggest names. iConnections membership extends the relationships year-round after the event ends.
Service providers: 6,000+ qualified prospects in one venue, with tiered sponsorship options from Premier to Bronze, speaking and content sponsorships, and lead generation tracked through Violet, the iConnections platform. 150+ sponsors trust Global Alts Miami to deliver ROI.
What Happens After the Event?
Every connection made at Miami continues on Violet year-round: follow-ups, pipeline tracking, document sharing, and manager discovery continue long after the event ends. The event is the highest-density week of the year, but it is one week of a continuous model rather than a standalone conference.
