The financial landscape is experiencing its most profound transformation since the advent of electronic trading. Two revolutionary forces – Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI) – are converging to reshape how we think about value, ownership, and investment decision-making.

Hong Kong stands uniquely positioned at the epicenter of this transformation. As Asia's premier financial hub embracing progressive Web3 regulations and home to some of the world's most sophisticated AI-driven investment strategies, the city offers an unparalleled vantage point to witness and participate in this financial revolution.

Why this Matters Now:

• $2+ trillion in digital assets under management globally, with institutional adoption accelerating.
• 75% of asset managers are now exploring or implementing AI-driven investment strategies.
• Hong Kong's pioneering regulatory framework positions the city as the preferred destination for digital asset innovation.
• Real-world asset tokenization is creating $16 trillion in addressable market opportunities.

This exclusive half-day symposium brings together the architects of tomorrow's financial ecosystem – from institutional pioneers managing billions in digital assets to AI innovators revolutionizing investment research. You'll gain insider access to strategies, frameworks, and technologies that forward-thinking institutions are using today to capture alpha in these emerging markets.

Whether you're seeking to understand how sovereign wealth funds are being allocated to digital assets, how quantitative firms are leveraging generative AI for alpha generation, or how tokenization is unlocking liquidity in previously illiquid markets, this symposium delivers the insights you need to stay competitive. 

The future of finance is being written today. Join us to ensure you're not just observing this transformation but actively participating in it!
