Discovery Day New York is where BattleFin brings together cutting-edge Alternative Data providers to showcase the latest datasets being used to find alpha. This year, we added an Insights component where data providers will be able to not only talk about New Products but showcase interesting Trends and Insights they are picking up across Sectors, Stocks and Industries.

For alpha-seekers and investment funds, BattleFin curated One-on-One meetings to maximize time with data providers. Think of speed dating, but for data! People meet with over 100+ alternative data companies to set up personal 2022 data testing and evaluation pipeline. We welcomed over 950 attendees.

Our New York event was held on June 15th-16th, 2022 aboard the historic Intrepid aircraft carrier, docked in the Hudson River.
