The MIT Sloan Investment Conference is an annual student-led event that brings together some of the most notable individuals in the investment world to educate and connect a wide range of financial industry participants. It is one of the largest student-run investment conferences in North America, and has grown to more than 400 attendees, ranging from academics to professionals, and will continue to generate meaningful discussions as markets become increasingly complex and challenging.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Investing in a New World.” Speakers will explore the post-COVID-19 investment environment in addition to a number of other topics ranging from lessons learned to career advice to general market thoughts.
