Common Sense from Uncommon Investors
Sarah, Mark, Kyle, Mitch, Michael
Managers from Causeway, Crescent, Hamana, and Canyon Capital analyze how passive investing strategies and post-2008 regulations have created significant pricing inefficiencies in cyclical equities, sovereign debt, and the shadow banking sector. Experts including Sarah of Causeway, Mark of Crescent, Kyle of Hamana, and Mitch of Canyon highlight specific structural risks in China's banking system and argue that volatility offers active managers opportunities to exploit mispriced assets while avoiding the "risk-free" illusion of state-backed debt. To capitalize on these anomalies, these firms prioritize hiring individuals who combine fundamental insight with complex capital structuring skills to navigate a fragile macroeconomic environment where traditional balance sheets are contracting.

Digital Future: The Internet of Things
Alex, David Levinson, Bridget, Kathleen Murphy, Mark, Gary, Michael, Shirley Moody, Dan Galpin, Margaret Burns, John McCutchan
The event analyzes the Internet of Things as a rapidly expanding "physical graph" driven by industrial applications and projected to host 50 billion devices, fundamentally shifting market models from hardware sales to recurring data services. Industry leaders emphasize that robust security must be embedded at the silicon level and advocated for open platforms to mitigate risks inherent in interdependent legacy systems. Furthermore, the discussion addresses the economic viability of IoT through predictive maintenance, the convergence of connectivity standards, and the ethical challenges surrounding privacy, algorithmic bias, and public safety governance.

Credit Markets: What's Next?
Mike Milken, Rich Byrne, David Warren, Tom, Steve, Michael
Regulatory constraints have forced banks to retreat from middle-market lending, creating a liquidity vacuum now filled by alternative capital providers such as Business Development Companies and institutional investors actively engaging in bespoke direct origination. This structural shift compels pension funds and credit managers to abandon passive index strategies in favor of deep fundamental analysis and flexible capital deployment across complex assets like legacy CMBS and emerging market debt to achieve realistic returns. By acting as both lenders and equity partners in distressed or restructuring scenarios, these active managers are capitalizing on a sustained "golden era" of institutional credit investment driven by regulatory disintermediation.

Why Tomorrow Won't Look Like Today: Things that Will Blow Your Mind
Eric Anderson, John Kelly, Eric David, Richard, Michael, Dr. John Kelly III
Representatives from Planetary Resources, Organovo, and IBM outlined a synergistic future where autonomous asteroid mining provides raw materials, 3D bioprinting creates regenerative medical tissues, and cognitive computing manages the data complexity of both sectors. The panel highlighted specific milestones, including near-term propellant depot launches in 2016, commercial drug-testing liver models, and AI systems designed to personalize cancer treatments. Validated by major investors like Larry Page and Richard Branson, these converging technologies aim to fundamentally transform global resource availability, healthcare outcomes, and the economics of deep-space exploration.
