This year’s conference will bring 1,000 professionals, alumni, and students to The Sheraton New York for a day of candid discussion on the state of the industry. Our 2014 Conference theme ‘Driving Entrepreneurial Thinking in the World of Investing’ will focus on the emerging challenges and opportunities facing the private equity and venture capital industries in the coming year.

The goals of this conference are to educate, promote discussion, and provide a forum for interaction between academics, professionals, and students who are active in the private equity and venture capital communities. New York City is at the epicenter of these industries, and Columbia Business School is committed to being a leading mentor in developing the next generation of industry talent.
