Upcoming Events

Speaker Opportunities

CFA Society Baltimore offers many unique events throughout the year that are attended by hundreds of investment management professionals. These gatherings are invaluable ways for you and your organization to share your knowledge of, and passion for, excellence in investment management.
The Society welcomes dynamic speakers who can offer solution-oriented expertise on issues facing investment management professionals and leaders. By presenting at one of CFA Society Baltimore's many events throughout the year (as a sole presenter or panelist), you have a special opportunity to connect with your colleagues, share concrete knowledge, and discuss big ideas. CFA Society Baltimore is open to sessions that are creatively structured to take advantage of the power of peer interaction.
Corporate members are encouraged to co-present with others from different firms to offer multiple perspectives on a given topic. While being a CFA Society Baltimore member does not guarantee a speaking slot, preference is given to society members over non-members, and CFA charterholders over non-charterholders, when selecting presenters.
If you would like to become a potential speaker at CFA Society Baltimore events, please contact Robyn Osten at [email protected].

    Virtual Event: The Quant Journey: Beyond the Algorithm

    Jun 24, 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM (ET)
    The evolution of trading can be traced back centuries to the first commodities swap contracts, where merchants in ancient civilizations exchanged goods and established primitive futures markets. From these humble beginnings, we've witnessed a remarkable transformation into today's sophisticated financial ecosystem, where high-frequency trading systems can execute millions of transactions per second and process petabytes of data in real-time. Modern trading infrastructure leverages advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze vast datasets, identify patterns, and generate alpha through systematic strategies. These tools enable traders to capitalize on market inefficiencies across multiple asset classes simultaneously, while quantum computing and natural language processing promise to unlock even more powerful trading capabilities in the future. As we look ahead, the integration of AI is becoming increasingly central to trading operations, with predictive analytics and automated decision-making systems becoming standard tools in the quest for sustainable alpha generation.   Join us Tuesday, June 24, with Adi Mackic, Senior Client Portfolio Manager, Man AHL, for:   The Quant Journey: Beyond the Algorithm • The tale of the tape: a history of market bias • The present: investing in real time • The future: the singularity and the end of time? How do we adapt?
