Background
Every January the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management hosts one of the leading congresses of the international financial community, in terms of both academic excellence and its impact on practitioners. Campus for Finance is based on a unique concept offering academics, corporate representatives, politicians, as well as a selected group of international students a platform for discussion and networking. Keynote speeches by business leaders and renowned professors, workshops as well as get-togethers all contribute to creating a stimulating exchange of ideas. Thus, the conference truly serves to tighten the bonds between academic excellence and practical relevance - in keeping with our goal: Uniting the World of Finance. Our aim is to bring together extraordinary people from economics, science, and politics with selected students from all over the world and support the exchange in a unique familiar atmosphere. So you can be excited about inspiring speeches, panel discussions and workshops, as well as extraordinary entrepreneurial talks. This year the following firms will support our conference: Aberdeen Asset Management, Barclays Capital, The Boston Consulting Group, CNC, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, European Founders Fund, HSBC Trinkaus, KPMG, Leonardo & Co, Morgan Stanley, Oliver Wyman, Rothschild, Waterland.
Topic
The financial crisis and the resulting world-wide recession encouraged a public discussion if and how financial practices would have to change to avoid future crises. Regulators and market participants will have to find well-balanced answers to ensure that financial markets will be able to perform their function in the future. At the same time sharpening resource scarcity, climate change, ongoing demographic changes, globalization and continuous technological innovation offer new investment opportunities. These opportunities will impact optimal asset allocation strategies for investors. And they will offer business potential for companies early identifying underlying trends.
