The 8th Annual QCF Day Symposium will be held April 2, 2010. The symposium will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. It is hosted by the Quantitative and Computational Finance program at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The purpose of this symposium is to showcase the newest and most innovative approaches to quantitative finance used today. In previous years, over several hundreds of people have attended this symposium to listen to both academic and non-academic invited experts. By and large the talks concentrate on specific topics related to how Quantitative and Computational Finance is being used today. The speakers in previous years have included Senior Executives, Managing Directors, Vice Presidents, Group Directors, Quantitative Associates, Senior Economists and others from a wide range of organizations - Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, INVESCO, ING Investment Management, Morgan Stanley, NYFRB, Risk Metrics, S&P, SunGard, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, UBS and Vanguard - as well as professors from Columbia, Toronto, Chicago, Princeton, and New York University.
There will be many opportunities to speak with students and professionals about the work environment and activities in the field of quantitative finance. The symposium is attended by students from the Georgia Tech MS QCF Program and students from educational programs strongly overlapping with the QCF area; by researchers and practitioners working within the QCF area who want to share their experiences and learn more from others in the QCF area; and by other individuals seeking information about the content of the very diverse QCF area.
