Chicago, IL – August 11, 2026 – As investment firms navigate growing operational complexity, expanding private markets exposure, and increasing pressure to modernize operating models, AssetOps Chicago will bring together senior buy-side operations, investment operations, technology, and transformation leaders for a full day of peer-led discussion focused on the future of investment operations.
Hosted by Corinium, AssetOps Chicago is part of the rapidly growing AssetOps event series, following successful editions in New York, Toronto, and London. The event has established itself as a dedicated forum where senior decision-makers openly share practical strategies, lessons learned, and operational priorities under Chatham House Rules, encouraging candid discussion among peers.
Taking place on 11 August 2026, the event will explore many of the operational challenges currently reshaping the asset management industry, including:
- Operating model transformation
- Private markets operations
- Operational resilience
- Technology modernization
- Data governance and operational infrastructure
- Leadership and the evolving role of operations
Confirmed speakers include senior leaders from Nuveen, Northern Trust, Harris Associates, Hawk Ridge Capital Management, and The Inland Real Estate Group, alongside additional buy side executives representing leading asset managers and institutional investors.
Unlike broader financial services conferences, AssetOps Chicago is intentionally designed as a buy-side-only forum, creating an environment where operations leaders can discuss common challenges, exchange practical experiences, and build meaningful professional relationships.
“Operations leaders today are being asked to manage increasingly complex investment strategies while simultaneously driving transformation across their organizations,” said Ana Luiza Olanescu, Senior Conference Director at Corinium. “AssetOps was created to provide a
dedicated forum where these conversations can happen openly among peers who are facing many of the same challenges.”
Building on the success of previous AssetOps events, the Chicago edition is expected to welcome senior COOs, Heads of Investment Operations, Chief Transformation Officers, Heads of Technology, Data Leaders, and Operations Executives from across the North American buy-side community.
The event also serves as the lead-in to AssetOps Americas, taking place in New York on 15 September 2026, continuing the series’ mission of connecting operations leaders across major financial centers.
