The purpose of this symposium is to showcase the newest and most innovative approaches to quantitative finance used today. In each of the past years, over two hundred people have attended this symposium to listen to both academic and non-academic invited experts. By and large the talks concentrate on specific topics related to how Quantitative and Computational Finance is being used today. The speakers in previous years have included Senior Vice Presidents, Managing Directors, Quantitative Analysts, Group Directors, Senior Economists and others from a wide range of organizations - Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, INVESCO, Risk Metrics, S&P, UBS, SunGard, ING Investment Management, NYFRB, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, AmSouth, Banc of America Securities and SIG - as well as professors from Columbia, Toronto, Chicago, Princeton, and North Carolina State.

There will be many opportunities to speak with students and professionals about the work environment and activities in the field of quantitative finance. The symposium is attended by students from the Georgia Tech MS QCF Program and students from educational programs strongly overlapping with the QCF area; by researchers and practitioners working within the QCF area who want to share their experiences and learn more from others in the QCF area; and by other individuals seeking information about the content of the very diverse QCF area.
