Anthony Scaramucci's Las Vegas hedge fund conference is changing it up, as the industry faces heavy headwinds

But now, he's ready to start moving his signature event — the annual SkyBridge Alternatives, or SALT, conference in Las Vegas — away from the $3.2 trillion hedge fund industry.

The speaker line-up this year has a few notable hedge fund names, like Sir Michael Hintze of CQS, but also features private equity and venture capital titans like Mark Cuban, David Rubenstein of Carlyle, and Dr. Kai-Fu Lee of artificial intelligence venture capital firm Sinovation Venture. Past conferences have often been headlined with a speaker with international clout, such as former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and basketball legend Kobe Bryant, and Scaramucci said he has gotten some complaints that the speaker list is underwhelming this go-round.

He put the blame for a lesser glitzy speaker list partly on the"all-star hedge fund managers" who"haven't really done that well and don't want to talk because of it," while assuring attendees that he is always on the hunt to improve the show.
