Buy-side alternative-data conference built around pre-booked 1-on-1 meetings between data buyers (hedge funds, asset managers, private equity) and data vendors, plus panels. Founded and run by Eagle Alpha (Dublin/New York alt-data aggregator) from the late 2010s; editions were branded variously 'Alternative Data: Access & Alpha' (2019), 'Virtual Data Conference' (2020), 'Next Level' (Mar 2021, Jan 2023, Jan 2024), 'INTERACT' (May 2021, Feb 2022), 'The ONE Conference' (Oct 2021), 'UNBOUND' (Apr 2022, Jun 2023, Oct 2024), 'Boston '22' and 'London '22', and plain 'Alternative Data Conference' later. On 10 Nov 2025 A-Team Group (a Finelight Group subsidiary, organiser of the TradingTech Summits) bought Eagle Alpha's events division; from 2026 the events run as 'Eagle Alpha Alternative Data Conference, hosted by A-Team Group' (A-Team pages, hashtag #AltDataConf), with Eagle Alpha kept on as advisory-board partner. Treated here as one series whose organizer changed. Typically two New York editions a year (spring and fall) plus London; Boston once (2022); a first Hong Kong edition is announced for Nov 2027. 2020-2022 included online editions. Not recorded (could not be confirmed or out of scope): a Singapore event listed for 22 Mar 2019 (a press release calls it a seminar), a London edition announced for June 2025 (only a 'register interest' stub, later dropped from Eagle Alpha's events page), an 'UNBOUND' Oct 2025 placeholder, and smaller Eagle Alpha evening meet-ups and Data Week side events. Social accounts are the organizers' (A-Team Insight; Eagle Alpha in other_social).
