About the event

Thank you to all those who were part of the June 1, 2016 Sohn Conference Hong Kong presented by the Karen Leung Foundation. Your generous contributions and support helped us raise over HK$2.4 million to ensure that the greatest needs in the fight against gynecological and pediatric cancers are met by promoting innovative research, prevention, education, and optimal treatment.

It was an engaging and thought-provoking day filled with great investment ideas from leading fund managers at KKR, Fir Tree, Wei Capital, Marshall Wace, BFAM, GeoInvesting, Valiant Capital, RWC, Ichigo, Bronte Capital, York Capital, and Oasis, and relevant observations and insights from Hong Kong SFC CEO Ashley Alder and Lai Kwai Fong Group Chairman Dr. Allan Zeman.
