Trying to find a silver lining... While we love to keep an upbeat vibe, it would be remiss of us not to bring light to everything that has happened in the past few weeks. From Latinos disproportionately losing jobs to COVID-19 fueling anti-Asian racism and xenophobia to African-Americans facing racial injustice, minorities are staggeringly suffering the most in this current environment. It is our hope that the investment community rise to the occasion and find ways to help our communities. We can't remain neutral.

Update on TIDE Inaugural Event... Last month, we announced that we will be postponing our inaugural event. As you know, we put our heart and soul into this conference and it pains us that we won't be able to host it this year for you. If you missed our announcement, please check out Grace's video.

On the bright side... We are very well positioned - if not the best positioned organization - to host a virtual conference. With our digital expertise, we'll be sure to give the industry a great virtual experience. We've been getting advice from tech experts and testing out platforms. We're excited that what we have to offer is the next best thing to connecting in real life!
While the schedule will be more condensed, you can expect the same high-level, rockstar line-up as originally planned for our inaugural event (pending schedule confirmation for a few allocators). Based on feedback, the virtual event will be hosted in a series of 3 days for 2 - 2 1/2 hours each day. We'll send out an official announcement on June 15th with exact details of the event.
