The inaugural Excellence in Finance Conference, to be held in the beautiful surroundings of Edinburgh's Playfair Library on Friday 18th October 2013. The first student conference of its kind in the North of the UK, this exciting event promises to bring together talented individuals with inspiring speakers.

 

The financial climate is still volatile to say the least, and the industry as a whole has undergone huge changes in recent years. In order to address the continuing uncertainty for many involved both within the industry and those hoping to integrate in the future, this year's theme is 'The Future of Banking.' Distinguished speakers confirmed so far include Owen Kelly of the Scottish Financial Enterprise, Jens Hagendorff, Martin Currie Professor in Finance & Investment at The University of Edinburgh and Baron Smith of Kelvin, with many more to be announced over the coming months.

 

With a capacity of just 250, tickets are expected to be in high demand, with students coming from across Scotland and the North of England to attend.

 

Further details shall be announced in the near future as we confirm further speakers, sponsors and other exciting developments.
