A Letter from our Executive Director

Osman Kilic chats with students at GAME Forum.

Welcome to the Quinnipiac University GAME Forum XIV

At our annual Quinnipiac University GAME Forum, current and emerging leaders in the financial services industry gather together to engage in meaningful discussions on the topical issues shaping the global investment environment.

We are enthused to be in NYC and honored to partner with over 100 speakers from more than 64 industry-leading financial services companies, presenting at our keynote panels, workshops and breakout sessions, as well as serving as judges for the highly anticipated global student-managed portfolio competition. This strong support positively influences our future leaders and their faculty mentors, represented by the 130+ universities, 140 faculty members and almost 1,200 students in attendance this year, aiding them in their professional development.

I would like to thank our student volunteers for their tireless efforts to make this unique event happen, as well as my esteemed colleagues in the Quinnipiac School of Business, Marketing & Communications and Alumni & Development for your collaboration and excellence.

The conference will commence with a fireside chat with Antony Ressler, co-founder, director and executive chairman of Ares Management Corporation, setting the stage for discussions led by 14 additional keynote speakers as they discuss their insights on the financial markets outlook and its effect on their asset allocation decision, portfolio investment and risk management strategies, given the backdrop of the current and foreseeable state of the U.S. and global economy. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to our renowned panelists at the end of each session.

On the second day, attendees will participate in multiple concurrent breakout sessions with keynote panels and workshops focused on various topics, including asset allocation, portfolio management, AI and FinTech, women in finance, crypto assets and hedge funds, to name a few. We also will be hosting multiple post-college career networking events, which will give students the opportunity to directly meet with company representatives and GAME alumni.

We look forward to seeing you again at Quinnipiac University’s GAME Forum XV on March 19–20, 2026, in NYC. Additional information will be available at game.qu.edu, by emailing qgame@qu.edu or by calling 203-582-3888.

Kind regards,

- Osman Kilic, PhD
