State of Rhode Island Treasurer's Office x CFA Society Providence x TIDE

For TIDE's East Coast Edition this year, we're honored to partner with the CFA Society Providence and the State of Rhode Island Treasurer's Office - a leader in forward-thinking, values-aligned investing. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Ocean State’s historic marina in Newport, this year’s gathering introduces a bold new theme: Blue Ocean.

Far from the crowded waters of conventional investing, Blue Ocean strategies focus on unlocking new, uncontested opportunities — from emerging managers and underrepresented talent to innovative asset classes and partnership models. The event will spotlight how institutional capital can move beyond legacy networks and tap into performance potential where others aren’t looking.

Expect intimate conversations, high-quality LP-GP dialogue, and a setting designed to inspire fresh thinking. The tides are changing — and in Rhode Island, we’ll be leading the way forward.

Already confirmed - CIO Lunch Panel featuring Justin Maistrow & Steve Meier!
