Anybody going?

#2

CFAI conference?

#3

Where is it?

#4

It’s next week in Seattle. I’m going. Basically want to find out from others who are the must-see presenters.

You guys don’t read your CFAI emails?

#5

I generally auto-delete those.

I do get the occasional chuckle when I see John Rogers in the headline, and am reminded of qqqbee.

#6

Every auditorium in NYC was booked that day?

#7

why not vegaS?

#8

^ They don’t want charterholders gambling away their annual dues.

#9

Then no. My company wouldn’t pay to fly me there. If it were in NYC or Philly, I’d probably go. And no, I generally don’t read CFAI emails.

#10

Just returned from the conference and I’m really glad I went. I thought most of the speakers were top notch and that CFA Institute produced a really first class event.

#11

The hotel kinda sucked

#12

I didn’t go this year, but I went in Chicago and Boston. Definitely a first class event with top notch speakers. I plan on attending Frankfurt next year and I’ll definitely attend Montreal in 2015.

#13

Do you guys get your company to cover the cost?

#14

Yup.

#15

Same here. Was quite pleased to read that the German Society will be host next year. Hope to pass L3 and get the charter awarded until then!!!

#16

I’d be up for Frankfurt. Need to find out if they cover the cost here.

#17

I doubt I’ll get airfare covered from my new employer, but I may just tack this onto a vacation, I have tons of points to fly anyway. If they give me conference fees + a week to attend, then I’ll be there.
