Q. What is a typical day at the Conference?

We typically start pretty early. The day consists of a larger general session, where topics of broad and urgent interest to the entire group are presented, and also includes a fascinating assortment of special panel discussions, debates and presentations.

Between general sessions, the Conference breaks into smaller hands-on presentations and workshops, where you’ll learn about specific investment strategies and have the opportunity to exchange questions and answers with faculty, participating sponsors and other Conference participants. All together, there are dozens of speakers, workshops, presentations and panels to choose from, presented by the largest collection of topflight authorities on the economy and investments anywhere.

Don’t feel compelled to try and squeeze in every presentation, or you might tire yourself out. Rather, pick and choose among those topics of greatest interest to you and take some time out to visit the Exhibit Hall offering information on a variety of financial products and services.

This is the Gala 50th Anniversary New Orleans Conference. As usual, you can expect us to be pulling out all the stops to make the entire event very special.
