Campus for Finance

Every January the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management hosts one of the leading conferences in the international financial community.  This event, Campus for Finance, took place on January 13 & 14.  It hosts academics, corporate representatives, politicians, and selected students from around the world and offers a platform for discussion and networking.  In order to attend the event, students must apply and only a few are accepted.  A lot of the exchange students applied for it, but no one got accepted.  Some of the guest speakers included, Dirk Notheis (CEO of Morgan Stanley Bank), Heiner Flassbeck (UN Conference on Trade and Development), Joe Kaeser, (CFO of Siemens).  On the last day of the conference, WHU hosted an evening reception for all the guests.  A few of the exchange students and myself, snuck into the reception.  Since the ratio of men to women was 15:1, I didn't have any trouble getting in.  I am extremely happy that I went because it was neat networking with students from all over.  For more information on this event, click here.
