It takes place at Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.
The published audience includes students, faculty and industry professionals.
It is most worth attending for students and faculty involved in a student-run investment fund, since the consortium links member institutions to swap practices and the gathering covers investment research, portfolio management and learning by doing. Working professionals with no tie to a student fund or recruiting interest would get less, as the audience is mainly students, faculty and a smaller group from industry.
Students and finance professionals at investment conferences usually wear business formal or sharp business casual, with a suit or blazer, since students often treat these events as recruiting opportunities.
