The granddaddy of all investment conferences, this event has long featured an impressive array of speakers including economists, world leaders, best-selling authors, Nobel-prize winners, and more notable figures. New Orleans is always one of my favorite events of the year, with controversial speakers who one doesn't get too many opportunities to hear, plus lively panels, always a highlight of the conference. There also are always opportunities to meet with the speakers and other attendees (as well as indulge in the great cuisine and music of the city). Register here.
