Business Networking for Financial Professionals

Posted In: Archives

Participants from past CFA Institute Annual Conferences have repeatedly cited networking opportunities as one of the major benefits they receive from the event. This year at the 65th CFA Institute Annual Conference, which is open to CFA Institute members and non-members alike, conference participants will have the opportunity to enhance their social networking with CFA Conference Connect.

CFA Conference Connect is an added benefit that allows conference participants to:

View the profiles and professional interests of the other attendees
Join conversations about the topics that are critical to the financial industry
Build a personal schedule of educational sessions
Discover contacts from LinkedIn and Twitter who are also attending

Annual conference participants can also use conference connect and its mobile-friendly interface to initiate introductions, schedule one-on-one meetings, and plan social outings during their stay in Chicago.

Registered attendees can visit the CFA Conference Connect website to learn more about the tool and log in.
