About the Alternative Asset Summit

The Alternative Asset Summit is an annual event that brings together investors, fund managers, and industry experts who are building portfolios beyond Wall Street. Now in its third year, this premier event was founded by Mat Sorensen, a pioneer in self-directed retirement investing, with the vision of helping others diversify their portfolios into private, non-traditional assets.

Our Mission: The Summit’s core mission is to educate attendees about the world of alternative investments. Over two intensive days, participants gain firsthand insights into a wide spectrum of strategies, from venture capital and private equity to commercial real estate, single-family real estate, startups, oil & gas, and crypto. Hear from industry experts — including public company and bank CEOs, fund managers that have done over a billion dollars in deals, as well as top attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors. Attendees leave with practical tools and knowledge to confidently pursue opportunities in the alternative asset space.

By blending education and networking, the Summit empowers attendees to elevate their investment game and build a supportive network that extends far beyond the event itself. The Alternative Asset Summit is highly focused on networking and community building, convening a room full of experts and leaders in their fields each year. This setting creates unparalleled opportunities for attendees to connect, share success stories, exchange ideas, and form lasting partnerships, whether they are business leaders, seasoned investors, or newcomers to the space.
