A Letter from our Oversight Chair

Robert Margiotta

It’s an honor and a privilege to welcome you to GAME Forum XV.

In my role as oversight chairman, I’ve had the opportunity to lead a team of 50 dedicated student volunteers united by a shared mission: to uphold the legacy of this premier event and continue elevating GAME as the destination for future leaders in financial services.

It has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together in delivering what I believe is our best conference yet.

Though Putnam County, New York, has always been my home, I am so grateful to have found a second home in Hamden, Connecticut. I followed in the footsteps of my older brother, Nicholas, a first-generation college student who earned his MBA from our renowned School of Business. Our younger brother, Vincent, is poised to do the same. I’ve been on the fast track to a career in finance since I toured Quinnipiac with my family at age 14. But being involved with GAME Forum exceeded my wildest expectations, teaching me so much about myself in the process.

I am thrilled to be back in New York City one more time for the best student-run financial conference in the world. I learned so much from my predecessor, Quinn Guth ’24, MBA ’25, who showed me the drive and determination it takes to lift GAME Forum to new heights. I could not be prouder of the student volunteers for the effort they put into achieving our goals. And I have the utmost confidence in my successor, Brandon Cuccaro ’26, MBA ’27, to keep that vision going.

My parting advice to you, as you soak in this amazing opportunity in the world’s financial epicenter, is to get as involved as you can. Grow your network. Ask questions. Take notes. Build the foundation for the future we get to shape together.

Sincerely,

Robert Margiotta ’25, MBA ’26

Thank You Student Volunteers

As the largest student-run financial conference in the world, this event provides a rare and invaluable opportunity for participants to engage with industry leaders and discuss best practices. It is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the student organizers that such a high-profile event could be successfully executed. The volunteers' efforts in ensuring the smooth flow of attendees and providing assistance in various tasks were essential to the success of the event. Their contribution not only made a significant impact on the conference but also provided a unique learning experience for themselves and fellow students from across the country and overseas. Their selflessness and commitment to excellence are truly appreciated and will not be forgotten.
