Bentley Women: Apply for WAVE’s 2022 Women in Alternative Investments Career Forum!

Join WAVE for our sixth annual forum to learn, engage and network with industry veterans across the spectrum of careers (buyout, VC, LP, placement agents, FOFs, distressed, real estate, private credit) and continue to expand the “pipeline” of talented women in our industry.  The event will be held in-person in New York City on Friday, October 28!

The headlines and studies are pervasive on the gap in women in alternatives despite the proven value to diversity.  The goal of the Career Forum is to broaden the funnel of women into the alternatives industry and provide a setting where candidates can learn, engage, and network with industry veterans across the spectrum of careers.  This will be the sixth time that the Women’s Association of Venture & Equity (WAVE) has hosted the event.  Companies in attendance are expected to include private equity and venture capital firms, hedge funds, limited partners, investment banks, placement agents, and other firms within the alternatives industry.

Application Criteria: Female students currently in undergraduate or graduate programs or those that have graduated in prior 3 years (in or after 2020) are welcome to apply.
