Our Story

Ahead of the curve since 2018

Long before AI and data became the talk of every trading floor, we were bringing together the people putting it to work. Future Alpha began in 2018 as AI and Data Science in Trading, one of the first events dedicated to how machine learning and data were changing investment management.

Our Journey

The timeline

2018
Chapter one

AI and Data Science in Trading

Our first edition brought quants, data scientists and investment professionals together to explore a question few were asking at the time: what can AI really do for alpha generation?

Becoming Quant Strats

As the community grew, so did our scope. From 2022 to 2026, Quant Strats ran twice a year, in London and the US, and became the meeting point for systematic and quantitative investors. Each edition welcomed 350–400 attendees and built a reputation for practical, technical content.
