The issues of notability and references raised against this article does not seem to be valid in light of the fact that articles on student-run conferences of similar scale and notability without references to any third-party sources has been allowed on Wikipedia. See Campus for Finance. Other student organisations of more questionable international notability have been allowed: Yale College Democrats and Business Leaders 2010

Regarding the notability of the alternative investments conference, please check the following the following two third-party sources:

1. Financial Times article entirely about the conference: Maton, Brendan. "Graduates gather to gain from industry's best", Financial Times (FT fm), 08-Feb-2010, page 9. (This article is produced both in PRINT on February 8 2010 and ONLINE on FT.com for subscribers to the newspaper as FT grants access to archive articles only to its subscribers, myself included.) To confirm the existence of this article by the FT on the conference, please see: LSE in print. The other two references to FT.com regarding the conference can be found here and here.
2. Hedgeweek.com article about the conference Hedgeweek is a major news agency that covers news in the hedge fund industry.

Because of its success in the past, the conference is sponsored by other big City banking and law firms. The conference concerned is mentioned in the Wikipedia page for Liongate Capital Management. Other sponsors of the conference include Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Group, Mayer Brown, Bain & Company, UBS, Altima Partners LLP, Bain Capital, Credit Suisse, Dechert LLP, Greenoaks Capital Management LLC, Man Group, Sankaty Advisors, International Asset Management, and J.P.Morgan.

The references pointed out in the PROD do in fact give the conference's full name. They come in the following forms: the LSE Alternative Investments Conference, London School of Economics' Alternative Investments Conference, or LSE's Alternative Investments Conference, and in some cases the words "Alternative Investments Conference" has not been capitalised due to confusion.

Please kindly let me know whether this helps resolving the issue of notability and reference. Thanks!
