NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 29, 2025--

The Sohn Conference Foundation (“Sohn”), an organization dedicated to the treatment and cure of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases, today announced the global schedule for its 2026 Sohn Investment Conference series, along with early sponsor commitments from global financial and technology institutions, data and research platforms, and leading media outlets.

The flagship New York Sohn Investment Conference will return on May 12, 2026, at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City. Tickets for the 2026 New York Sohn Investment Conference will go on sale in January 2026, alongside the first wave of speaker announcements. This year’s event will support MSK Kids, the pediatric program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Over the past three decades, the conference has convened many of the world’s most influential hedge fund and alternative investment leaders – including prominent past speakers such as Sam Altman, Stanley Druckenmiller, Steve Cohen, Bill Ackman, David Einhorn, and Karen Karniol-Tambour — to share market insights while raising critical funds in support of pediatric cancer and other research.

“As we look ahead to 2026, we are deeply proud of the growth of the Sohn platform and community that continues to rally behind our mission,” said Evan Sohn, Vice President and Co-Founder of the Sohn Conference Foundation. “Each year, our events bring together leading investors, innovators, and partners who share a commitment to advancing bold ideas and meaningful impact. The support of our sponsors enables us to expand our reach across global markets and deliver programming that both educates and inspires. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to welcoming new organizations as we continue building a robust agenda for 2026.”

The 2026 Sohn Global Calendar includes:

• New York: May 12, 2026
• Hong Kong: May 20, 2026
• Montreal: June 4, 2026
• Monaco: June 2026
• San Francisco: October 13, 2026
• Australia: November 6, 2026

“The Sohn Conference has long been a cornerstone event for the global investment community,” said Heather Zynczak, Chief Marketing Officer at AlphaSense. “AlphaSense applies AI to help investment professionals navigate an increasingly complex information landscape with greater speed and confidence. Our sponsorship reflects a shared commitment to high-quality research, open exchange of ideas, and long-term thinking — values that sit at the core of both Sohn and AlphaSense.”

This year, Sohn NY will also feature a special breakfast session focused on real estate, designed specifically for private equity and other institutional investors. Jones Lang LaSalle will serve as the anchor sponsor for this new session.

“Sohn has always been intentional about pairing rigorous thinking with meaningful impact,” said Peter Riguardi, Chairman & President, New York Region, Jones Lang LaSalle. “We’re pleased to support this new real estate-focused session at a moment when New York is at a true inflection point. As capital begins to re-enter the market and pricing continues to reset, this discussion will offer a grounded, data-driven look at how risk is being reassessed, where opportunities are emerging, and how long-term investors are approaching New York real estate today.”

The Sohn Conference Foundation also announced confirmed sponsors for Sohn New York and globally for the 2026 season, including Anthropic, Jones Lang LaSalle, AlphaSense and Marex. CNBC will be the exclusive media and broadcast partner.
