The hedge fund industry is at a crossroads.

The popular notion that hedge funds are inherently risky has prompted calls for increased regulation, which arguably, could worsen the perceived ill that it intends to cure.

Beginning in October, Lipper HedgeWorld will inaugurate Leading Edge, a series of exclusive, topical discussions for opinion leaders who are shaping the future of the hedge fund community. This year, our two invitation-only, events feature keynote speakers from the top echelon of the public and private sectors who will discuss issues of relevance to the hedge fund community.

Join us for what promises to be a lively discussion on the shifting regulatory climate in Washington and the hedge fund industry's response. Confirmed guests include:
