Marquette clients – We hope you’ll join us at our annual Investment Symposium! This year’s event will be held in person in Chicago and virtually via livestream.
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Jean Twenge for our morning keynote analyzing generational differences with a focus on marketing trends among Gen Z. Marquette’s research team will then take the stage, featuring an In Context Conversation covering 2022 and beyond and three flash talks discussing timely investment topics. Rounding out the day, Ted Seides will join Nat Kellogg, Marquette’s President and Director of Manager Search, for a conversation spanning Ted’s experience, expertise, and insights from nearly three decades in the industry as our main presentation.
