NYC Conferences/Events

Hi,

I've been in New York for just over a year and am finally settled in. Currently, I work on the sell side covering event driven trading (90% merger arbitrage). My eventual goal is to move to the buy-side, a transition that I hope to make within the next two years.

Wondering if anyone can suggest how I can make the transition, such as attending any NYC conference/events that could gain me exposure to buy-sides? I am also curious on branching out to other strategies in addition to merger arbitrage, by this I mean specifically distressed investing, special situations and discretionary macro.

Any advice you have on what moves I could make or where I could go given my goals would be great.

Thank You,
