Speakers from the financial industry will include Harvey Pitt, the former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (under Bush), who's now CEO of the consulting firm Kalorama Partners, as well as representatives of such firms as BlackRock, Clearbrook, Man Group, Permal Group, Deutsche Bank Alternative Fund Services, Credit Suisse, Old Mutual Asset Management, Nomura Corporate Research & Asset Management, Octagon Credit Investors, Millennium Partners, KPMG, Aberdeen Asset Management, Global Fund Exchange, Halcyon Asset Management, Highland Capital Management, PAAMCO, First Quadrant, Charter Bridge Capital Management, TorreyCove Capital Partners, New Silk Route Partners, Silver Creek Capital Management and Morgan Creek Capital Management.

Plus, there are two other keynoters: Richard Branson of the Virgin Group and golfer Greg "The Shark" Norman.

Scheduled topics at the conference: "Investing in a Debt-Fueled World" and "Rewriting the Future." Also on tap at the Ritz-Carlton (voted "best resort in the Caribbean" three years running by Condé Nast Traveler!): a tennis tournament starring ancient pro stars as Martina Hingis Stefan Edberg. Representatives of the conference did not respond to a Fortune question about Bush's speaking fee.

Admission to the Cayman Alternative Investment Summit: $4,400, not including airfare or tickets for the tennis tournament. And while individual circumstances of course vary and you should be sure to consult your accountant, we're pretty sure it's tax-deductible.
