On behalf of the Finance Club at the Wharton School of Business, welcome to the website for the Second Annual Wharton Finance Conference: Understanding a Changing Economy. The conference will be a forum for discussion on financial and macroeconomic issues faced in today's changing economic environment. Our aim is to create a dialogue via panel discussions between industry professionals, students, scholars, and government leaders. Additionally, the Wharton Finance Conference is designed to provide a setting for students and professionals to network and discuss career opportunities in the world of finance in a relaxed and informal environment. We invite you to explore our website for information on the keynote address, panel topics, biographies of featured participants, and a calendar of events. Tickets for the conference will be available for online purchase at this site in September. We look forward to seeing you at the Wharton Finance Conference on October 11th and 12th, 2001. Regards, Amy Bieberdorf and Seth Yellin Wharton Finance Conference Co-Chairs
