NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SALT, a leading global thought leadership forum, will take its flagship annual conference back to Las Vegas May 7-10th, 2019. More than 2,000 of the world's most influential investors, business executives, and public policy officials are expected to gather to network and engage in nonpartisan discussions on the future of finance, technology, work, politics, and philanthropy. Heading into its second decade, SALT will also take on a broader scope and mission.
"SALT is not just the preeminent annual event for the alternative investments industry, but a leading destination for balanced discussions on a variety of issues ranging from politics to technological innovation," said SALT founder Anthony Scaramucci. "Going forward, we will be growing our international presence with events in Asia and the Middle East and exposing our ideas to a wider audience through digital media initiatives."
Over the course of four days at SALT Conference | Las Vegas, diverse speakers from the worlds of finance, technology, politics, academia, sports, and entertainment will participate in lively debates, panel discussions, fireside chats, and keynote remarks. Speakers for the 2019 conference will be announced leading up to event registration, which opens January 7th.
