BattleFin Montauk 2026

BattleFin Montauk is an intimate, invitation-only retreat for hedge fund managers, portfolio managers, and chief data officers, held oceanside at the Montauk Yacht Club. The format breaks from the typical B2B conference mold entirely — instead of conference halls, expect a beach, surfing, golf, and a traditional clambake, with the business agenda woven into the resort-town setting at the edge of Long Island.

The program centers on one core question: how asset managers are actually putting AI and alternative data to work in investment processes. Topics include:

• From experimentation to deployment — how hedge funds are moving past AI pilots into production systems;
• Working with unstructured data — using AI to extract useful signal from messy, real-world datasets;
• The modern fund tech stack — how analytics infrastructure is being rebuilt around generative AI;
• Regulation — the emerging transparency and explainability requirements shaping AI use in finance.

Attendance is by invitation only — organizers hand-pick a small group drawn from senior leadership across asset management and fintech. That curation makes BattleFin Montauk less a contact-gathering exhibition and more a venue for building high-trust relationships at the senior-decision-maker level.
