The Quant Conference
Date(s):
April 12, 2019
Event Details:
The rise of big data, application of machine learning and other technological developments in recent years have transformed the quantitative finance industry. The Quant Conference has been conceived as a unique event to provide an educational forum for delegates to hear about current trends in the cutting-edge field of quantitative finance. We focus on in-depth content rather than sales pitches. The Quant Conference’s speaker roster of industry leaders provides insights from those pioneering these changes. The event offers a wealth of networking opportunities with professional money managers, allocators, academics and young talent.
TQC19 will take place on the 12th of April in New York Marriott Marquis and our ambition is to make it one of the best quant conferences ever. We want to give our delegates a unique opportunity to learn about the industry from those who built it.
