The LSE SU Alternative Investments Conference (also known as the LSE AIC) is an international financial conference that focuses on hedge funds, private equity and venture capital held annually in London by the Alternative Investments Society (AIC), a Student’s Union society at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).[1]
The Alternative Investments Society was founded in 2005 by a group of undergraduate students at the London School of Economics, and continues to be run by students from the university.[2] The first Alternative Investments Conference was a one-day event hosted on the LSE campus in 2007, and was attended by 200 students who heard from several notable investors.
The AIC has evolved considerably over its history, having changed venues and ultimately becoming the world’s largest student conference on hedge funds, private equity and venture capital. By 2024, it was held at the Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square with 350 delegates and over 60 industry leaders over 2 days.
