Morningstar ETF conference

Will any of you be attending the Morningstar ETF conference on Oct 3rd-5th? Is it worth attending? I am currently a senior and graduate in December and was wondering if this would be a solid opportunity to network with potential employers.

Been to one of these Morningstar events before. It's just a rally for them to attract new customers to subscribe to their newsletters and other services they offer to retail investors. So the crowd attending are mostly peeps trying to make money off their personal brokerage accounts. The only worthwhile individuals to network with are the speakers, but they're gonna have their hands full engaging with potential customers and clients. If you're excellent at networking and $500 is nothing to you, then by all means attend.

Baby you're the perfect shape, baby you're the perfect weight. Treat me like my birthday, I want it this way and I want it that way. It makes a man feel good baby.

Thanks a lot for the input R0bin. Did you personally gain any value or great contacts from attending?
