Overview of Events for Students

9:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Career Fair
If you are seeking an internship or full-time position for wealth management, financial planning, financial analyst, or financial advising, then this will be the best opportunity for you to connect with companies looking to hire. We have a wide range of companies participating this year, so be sure to check out the list below and do your research ahead of time.

Noon – 2:00 PM | NEW! Student Case Presentations
We are so excited to introduce this new element that pairs students with mentors in the profession.

2:00 – 3:30PM | TEDx Style Talks
We are expanding our popular student-only session from previous events and opening it up to everyone. Expect to be inspired, engaged and empowered during these sessions.
