WAPFIN@STERN 2024
The conference will be on September 27 and 28, 2024 at NYU Stern. Attendance is open to anyone untenured working in finance. We will have one day of polished work (Friday), and one day of early stage work (Saturday). Friday will be open to the public. Saturday will be restricted to the untenured participants on the program.
Invited senior faculty will participate in the Friday session, which will conclude with a senior advice panel over cocktails. While the exact list may change, for the panel we have confirmed Wenxin Du (Harvard Business School), Anna Kovner (Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond), and Laura Veldkamp (Columbia Business School).
A key part of the conference is to allow everyone to connect and get to know each other, so we expect all presenters to attend the entire conference.
