2026 Agenda (Tentative)
We're still finalizing our speaker lineup, but below is a preview of the topics and sessions planned for this year's conference.
Over three days at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort, FIN Forum brings together institutional allocators, investment managers, consultants and other industry leaders for editorially driven discussions and meaningful networking.
The agenda is organized into three session formats. During Combined Sessions, all attendees come together for keynote presentations and discussions relevant to the broader institutional investment community. During concurrent sessions, attendees choose between dedicated Allocator Sessions and Manager Sessions, allowing each audience to dive deeper into the topics most relevant to them.
