The event opens June 1 with an invitation-only Golf Prelude at Racing Club de France La Boulie for VIP Black ticket holders.

Two private dinners are part of the agenda. An investor dinner will bring together fund managers, family offices and institutional allocators for off-the-record discussions on capital allocation and market structure.
