This academic meeting will take place in Paris in January, 2011. Academic sessions and a panel of practitioners will cover recent research, and will debate the future of the hedge fund industry.

Potential topics include:

- Contagion,
- Interactions between hedge funds activity and broad issues in economics
- Hedge fund activism,
- Distressed debt
