2026 Manager Ideas Exchange (MiX), Hybrid

We are delighted to invite you to the 2026 Manager Ideas Exchange (MiX), Hybrid Event, taking place on Wednesday 11 November. Join us in person in at WTW's London office or virtually, with the flexibility to take part in the way that works best for you. 

Following the postponement of our Dubai conference, this event will bring together asset managers, asset owners and WTW colleagues for a day of insight, debate and meaningful connection. 

A view beyond the headlines

The investment industry is undergoing profound change. From AI and technology to consolidation, evolving business models and shifting client expectations, the forces shaping the industry are creating both new challenges and opportunities for asset managers.

2026 MiX Hybrid will bring together WTW research, asset owner perspectives, and global industry insight to explore what is really changing — and, importantly, what it means for asset managers.

What will managers gain from the 2026 MiX Hybrid?

• An early look at the latest findings from the Thinking Ahead Institute’s Asset Manager Peer Study, providing fresh insight into manager priorities, the competitive landscape, and how the industry is evolving.
• Unfiltered perspectives from asset owners on their changing priorities, challenges, and expectations and what they increasingly want from their investment partners.
• A global view of the pressures influencing investors across Europe, the US, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East, highlighting both common challenges and regional differences.
• Practical insight into accessing private markets and other long-term opportunities while navigating real-world liquidity constraints.
• A clearer view of AI, technology, consolidation, and new business models and how these are reshaping the asset management industry.
• Lessons on building deeper partnerships as managers expand across the value chain, develop new capabilities and reach new client segments.
• First-hand examples of innovation in practice, hearing directly from asset owners about how they are responding to a rapidly changing environment.
• A candid discussion about what these developments mean for managers’ strategies, partnerships and future positioning.
• Direct engagement with WTW and industry peers through interactive sessions and one virtual 20-minute 1on1 meeting, post event.

Connect, challenge, and exchange ideas

Alongside the programme, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in one virtual 20-minute 1on1 meeting, creating space for focused conversations between asset managers and WTW colleagues.

The day will conclude with informal networking drinks and canapés, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation and connect with peers. 

We look forward to bringing the MiX community together for a day of fresh thinking, candid perspectives, and meaningful conversations about what comes next for the investment industry.
