FinanceX is an official Media Partner to AssetOps Chicago 2026

FinanceX Magazine is proud to announce its partnership with AssetOps Chicago 2026 as an official media partner, joining Corinium Intelligence in spotlighting the operational transformation reshaping the asset management industry.

Taking place on 11 August 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago – Magnificent Mile, AssetOps Chicago is purpose-built for asset management firms ready to move from discussion to actionable transformation. Positioned as a community platform rather than a conventional conference, the event brings together senior leaders from across the global buy-side to benchmark strategies, learn from peers tackling shared challenges, and leave with concrete ideas and connections to drive change.

The one-day gathering is expected to convene 100+ attendees and 30+ speakers, drawing an audience of COOs, Heads of Operations, CTOs, CDOs, and transformation leaders shaping the future of asset management operations.

Confirmed speakers include Chris H Kuehne, SVP Global Head of Investment Operations at Northern Trust Asset Management; Cassie Hrtanek, Chief Operating Officer at The Inland Real Estate Group; Kuno Tucker, Chief Compliance Officer at Manulife Wealth; Jen Burka, Head of Investment Operations at Harris | Oakmark; Adam Ness, Chief Operating Officer at Meeder Investment Management; and Zane Alajou, Chief Financial Officer at Hawk Ridge Capital Management.

The agenda is organised around four key themes central to the modern operating model: designing operational alpha through streamlined, automated workflows; building a culture that drives transformation; treating data as the new core through clean, connected, well-governed information; and future-proofing operations against ongoing disruption.
