Leveraging Alt Data & AI to generate Alpha

Discovery Day New York Spring 2026 returns to the epicenter of global finance. Expect cutting-edge panels, hands-on demos, and the kind of conversations that don't happen on Zoom — all designed to surface the datasets, tools, and strategies reshaping how the world's most sophisticated investors generate alpha.

This year, we're going deeper on AI. The AI Agents and Agentic AI track will focus specifically on how asset managers can leverage these resources to gain conviction and identify change. From agentic workflows to large language models powering next-generation research, the AI track will tackle the tools, frameworks, and real-world use cases that are redefining what's possible. Whether it's AI-driven due diligence, synthetic data generation, or the infrastructure behind intelligent investment platforms — this is where the future gets built.
