Agenda

Day 1:

Creating an Edge: Making Your Hard Work Work Harder for You

    Location:
  • Virtual

What is “edge”? If you are lucky enough to have it, you are endowed with a unique advantage. You execute faster, are confident, have experience and an established network, and are so naturally positioned that others want to help you move forward. Your path to success is lubricated. If you don’t have this naturally, how do you create your own edge? In this talk, Laura Huang will teach you how to recognize the advantages you do have, and by using not only your strengths, but also adversity, hardship, and biases against you to work in your favor.

Laura Huang
Professor and Author of Edge, Harvard Business School

Day 2:

Coffee & the Economy

    Location:
  • Virtual

Start your day off with a cup of coffee and updates from leading Federal Reserve financial experts and economists. In short presentations followed by live Q&A sessions, you will hear cutting-edge research on the national outlook, the impact of COVID-19 on the real estate market and financially distressed groups, and the capital raising experiences of minority depository institutions (MDIs) that are also Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).
