This year we are VERY excited to have Jared Dillian, author of Street Freak, former head ETF trader at Lehman Brothers and author of the investor newsletter, The Daily Dirtnap, as WSO Conference keynote speaker.

After reading Street Freak, I immediately knew that Jared was a perfect voice that WSO needed to hear. Besides being one of the best books I have read in years, Street Freak offers an incredible look into the world of Wall Street in 2008 and years prior, as well as an honest look at his own mental health issues.

Beyond that, Jared also has some amazing stories and is sure to give some great macro perspective on what to expect in the coming years on Wall Street and the overall economy. His investor newsletter is filled with sharp trading ideas and insightful commentary.

So, it looks like I have approximately 10 hours to decide if it's worth a 28-hour journey each way...
Do it! I'll buy you a beer.

While that sounds fun, I'm not sure if it's fun enough to nullify the effects of spending days trapped in a cramped flying container. I'll be sure to take you up on your offer if I do make it there!

Just a general message to any monkeys making the last-minute decision:

If you are on the fence about going to this, you should. I can guarantee that when June rolls around, you will be regretful if you did not buy the ticket now, either because you want to go and can't, or you are going and paying $200... It's worth the $200, so its nice to pay $80. ;-)

I think it's also worth noting that I was blown away by the atmosphere at the first conference. I did not meet a single person who was not friendly, intelligent, and interesting. No attitudes, no elitism. Nothing but good stuff folks, I highly recommend going. I seriously had a damn spring in my step after leaving the venue, and vowed to return in a better position next year. Don't brush off the impact this can have on you... I know for me personally it was a huge confidence booster to meet these kids, who I had built up in my mind to essentially be Ultra-Discriminating Wall Street Genius Kids, and feel completely accepted. I hope that can happen for someone else. It can be a life-changing event if you want it to be.

In summary: WSO.... Backed so hard.

Yes, the email worked! I just noticed that the discount is really great and jumped in. Figured I would just pay to get it on my calendar.
Andy! Look forward to seeing you!

Just 92 days to go!

Betsy Massar Come see me at my Q&A thread http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/b-school-qa-w-betsy-massar-of-master-admissions Ask away!
 

Considering going but unsure about the cost to get to NY for those dates (whether I can afford it as a poor college student) how worthwhile would it be for someone who is graduating this May, and trying to break into IB to make the trip? Seems like a pretty awesome event!

 
triplectz:
Perhaps Josh is brown-nosing to get a full-time position (or at least summer internship!) at WSO in light of the business climate at UBS...
Good one

[quote=Dirk Dirkenson]Shut up already. Your mindless, reflexive responses to any critical thought on this are tedious. You're also probably a woman, given the name and "xoxo" signoff, so maybe the lack of judgment is to be expected.[/quote]

You should all go and figure out who CompBanker is in real life. Or maybe you could be talking to him without even knowing it. Its like telling Clark Kent about how awesome Superman is.
