Students gain new perspectives not only from speakers, but also from students across the country and from overseas who look at world events through the lens of their own experience. They also have the opportunity to participate in the Global Portfolio Competition.
It’s rare for a conference of this size and visibility to be hosted by students.
In the months leading up to the conference, each student organizer has a lot riding on his or her shoulders, from managing a team to communicating with speakers and attendees. Their work puts them in direct contact with presenters.
“Nowhere else can someone close the stock market, meet with chief investment officers of top investment firms, compete in a student-managed portfolio competition against international teams, and meet students and professionals from across the U.S. and 54 countries, all while staying in the financial capital of the world, New York City, for three days.”

Katie Freeman '19, MBA '20, front, a freshman Quinnipiac business student in the accelerated 3+1 BS/MBA program, attended the conference. “It was an amazing learning experience that brought together students from over 40 countries. We were able to hear from some of the top financial leaders who discussed the challenges and opportunities that investment professionals are facing today in the global market,” she said.
Students from around the globe participate in a breakout discussion panel on day two of the conference. Over 1,500 participants attended the Quinnipiac G.A.M.E. Forum in New York City.
