We designed this multi-day conference to allow employers with imminent/near-term roles to fill as well as longer-term branding and awareness needs to get in front of some of the best and brightest students and grads from finance & investing focused specialties as well as general/liberal arts programs. We hope this leads to some great connections between folks from all over the world (literally) and, in good time, instances of hiring and great experiences by all involved.
All students are asked to provide detailed information on their academic progress and work experience as well as a cover letter. These will be provided to all sponsoring members who will reach out to schedule an interview or additional information session.
All sponsors will have a dedicated slot that interested (or just curious!) students and grads should use as their opportunity to learn about the company, what it does, and its culture – in addition to online and other research and inquiries. Students and grads are greatly encouraged to use this time to, as appropriate, pose questions to the employers to better understand their business and culture as well as the roles that they may have open at that time or in the future.
In addition to the info sessions, a selection of topics will be discussed by industry leaders (including one of our famous Career Panels!) designed to be informative and illuminating for students/grads and employers alike.
If participants have additional ideas or comments on the agenda and format, we are happy to hear it so we can look to incorporate it into our 2024 edition!
