Conferences and Competitions

The MIT Sloan Stock Pitch Competition is designed for graduate students from top business programs across the United States to showcase their investment analysis skills in front of distinguished and seasoned judges from top investment management firms.  The Series will host up to 80 student participants and 18 judges. The competition begins with a preliminary round where teams compete concurrently in front of separate judge panels who will select the winning team from each group to advance to the finals. Following the preliminary round, there is a keynote speaker address from our platinum corporate sponsor centered around understanding the investment management industry and career opportunities. Following this keynote address, competitors are notified of preliminary round results and the winners advance to the final round of competition, from which one winning team will be selected. Prizes are awarded to the top 2-3 teams and all competitors and attendees get the opportunity to network with sponsors and judges, as well as fellow business school students from across the country who are also pursuing careers in investment management.
