NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RFA, the
globally-trusted managed IT, development, cloud and cybersecurity
services provider, today announces it will be hosting the inaugural
RFA AltTech 2019 conference and celebration of the company's
30th anniversary on Wednesday,
November 13 in New York.
The conference will connect select alternative investment leaders
to discuss practical applications of business robotics and AI/ML,
as well as new standards in security and risk
mitigation.
As investment managers' cybersecurity provisions and practices
increasingly become a critical part of institutional operational
due diligence, managers understand the importance of keeping up to
date with best practices and understanding the latest cyber
threats. Additionally, there is ever-increasing demand from
managers for outsourced technology solutions focused on business
process automation and DevOps to drive operational efficiency and
allow for a greater focus on the business of generating investment
returns for their investors. RFA is a leading specialist in these
areas and has launched the AltTech conference to create a dedicated
forum for high-level debate and educational discussion on the most
pressing technology issues facing managers today.
The conference will feature RFA's senior executives as
moderators, with panelists including technology leaders from J.P.
Morgan, Snowflake, Korn Ferry,
Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and ACA Compliance Group. The event is
focused around two panel discussions examining the following:
