Welcome to the Quinnipiac University GAME Forum XV
In a global investment environment marked by constant change, financial education is the bedrock that allows us to face the future with confidence. Quinnipiac University’s GAME Forum is a premier event designed to meet this challenge, convening current and aspiring financial services leaders to engage in deep discussions and strategic learning about the critical issues shaping global finance.
Over two days in New York City, the heart of the financial world, speakers from industry-leading financial services companies will present at our keynote panels, workshops and breakout sessions, as well as serve as judges for the annual student-managed portfolio competition. With their support, faculty mentors representing numerous universities will guide our student attendees at this momentous juncture in their professional development.
We will start the first day of the conference with two prominent leaders within the financial services industry: Lindsay Hans, president of Merrill Wealth Management, and Zach Buchwald, CEO of Russell Investments. This fireside chat will set the stage for 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 reflecting the current and foreseeable state of the U.S. and global economy. At the end of each session, students will have the opportunity to ask questions directly of our renowned panelists.
On the second day, we will host multiple concurrent breakout sessions with keynote panels and workshops focused on various topics, including asset allocation, portfolio management, FinTech, women in finance, crypto assets and hedge funds, to name a few. We will also be hosting multiple post-college career networking events, which will give students the opportunity to network with company representatives and GAME Forum alumni.
I want to thank our student volunteers for their tireless efforts in delivering this truly one-of-a-kind event, as well as my colleagues in the Quinnipiac School of Business, Marketing & Communications and Alumni & Development. I cherish our partnership and collaboration.
We hope to see you back in New York City for Quinnipiac University’s GAME Forum XVI on April 1-2, 2027.
Kind regards,
- Osman Kilic, PhD
