2026 Agenda
We look forward to hosting you at Fordham University from October 27-30, 2026. The conference will begin on Wednesday morning, October 28th and end on early Friday afternoon, October 30th. We will host a casual social event on Tuesday evening if you are in town. Also, watch your email for more information and registration details on our pre-symposium workshop (separate registration required), taking place on Tuesday, October 27th. In addition, Fordham is pleased to announce two exciting program agenda events:
Thursday Evening: NYC Cultural Experiences (Optional)
On Thursday night, participants may opt into a quintessential New York City experience by selecting from a curated menu of arts and cultural activities. Several groups will be accompanied by a Fordham Gabelli chaperone who will arrange logistics and any necessary public transportation, while others will be invited to choose their own adventure and explore on their own with recommendations and travel instructions. Participants will cover their own costs while enjoying the city as part of a small-group experience beyond the conference setting.
Friday Afternoon: Local New York Institutional Field Visits
Attendees are invited to join organized immersions to leading business and public institutions across New York City, offering behind-the-scenes insights and engaging visits to some of the most influential and historic pillars of the City's business ecosystem. Transportation will be organized, making it easy to explore these influential organizations as part of the conference experience.
 Further details and registration information will be available to all registrants this summer. Click here for a tentative agenda.
