TopQuants Autumn Workshop 2011 – Why should I attend?
Several participants of the TopQuants 2011 symposium in June 2011 have commented that they were interested in a future event covering more technical quant topics and that they would welcome more interaction between the participants.
The TopQuants Autumn Workshop aims to provide you with just this! It will offer two rounds of parallel sessions. There will be four to five parallel sessions in each round. Each parallel session will last for an hour. In most sessions, there will be at most 20 participants.
At the start of each session, speakers will provide a brief introduction before going into more technical details. The presentations will be followed by a discussion between all session participants, including the speaker(s). To facilitate the discussion, sessions will be attended by a session host.
Of course, to conclude the event, there will as usual be complimentary drinks and snacks with plenty of networking opportunities for all participants. The layout of the Dialogues House (a forum with four satellite rooms seating 20 people each) as well as the format of the parallel sessions, will provide a stimulating and interactive setting for all participants.
We hope to see you soon.
