The 52nd Annual New Orleans Investment Conference
There’s a reason generations of investors come back to New Orleans year after year ...
Now it’s YOUR turn to join them.
Fifty-two years ago, the world had just come off the gold standard. Inflation, stagflation, a Middle East crisis and oil shortages dominated the headlines.
Sound familiar?
Now add in AI, China, $40 trillion of debt, concerns about digital currency, and a rising acceptance of socialism in a country built on capitalism ...
It’s easy to see why both spooked and opportunistic investors want to get together to hear from experts, talk to each other, and deep dive on the challenges and opportunities in today’s markets.
Fed insiders, gold and currency experts, cycle analysts, investment strategists, energy and resource specialists, financial system and macroeconomic pundits ... sharing, debating, and fielding your questions.
Experts share macro context with micro application. See the big picture and specific strategies to mitigate risk and capture opportunities in today’s dynamic market.
The exhibit hall is full of companies and their representatives who are actively engaged in a variety of resource-related industries including metals and mining, energy and agriculture, and much more!
Don’t get spooked by jittery markets! Join us for education, networking, insights and opportunities you won’t find elsewhere, then dress up for our Halloween night grand finale. No tricks. All treats!
