The conference is sponsored by the Wisconsin chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth, the CFA Society of Milwaukee and Bloomberg. BizTimes Milwaukee is the media sponsor.
“Based on the caliber of speakers, we thought this was a good educational opportunity for our members,” said Thomas Rippl, CFA. Rippl is president of the CFA Society of Milwaukee, and is also vice president and investment officer of Schaper, Benz &Wise Investment Council Inc., a Neenah-based investment advisor firm.
“I saw Tobias (Levkovich of Citigroup) speak in Las Vegas and thought he was really good. Kevin’s done a really nice job. Some of (the speakers) I read quite a bit and have a lot of respect for. They’ll be talking about some timely topics and discussing long-term views, which should be good.”
The event will be held during spring break, so there will be ample parking in the UWM Student Union parking structure. Cost is $149 for the day-long event.
