Finance Forums provide our alumni with unique lifelong learning opportunities in cities around the world, a chance to remain connected to the School by learning about new MIT Sloan programs and initiatives related to finance, and to hear from faculty about their current research. The next Finance Forum will be held in Boston, MA on May 16, 2014.
