FREE for students! This full-day conference brings university students from across Northern California together with finance professionals, CFA charterholders, recruiters, and industry leaders for practical career education and meaningful networking.

University Career Conference: Launch Your Finance Career

Saturday, September 26, 2026

10:00 AM – 4:30 PM

AssetMark | Concord, CA

Registration is free

This year’s program is built around three of the biggest questions students face when preparing for a career in finance:

Building Your Credentials: Designations, Degrees, and Licenses

Students will explore how professional designations, graduate degrees, and securities licenses fit into different career paths—including designation stacking, the MBA versus CFA Program decision, and how AI is changing professional education.

Finding Your Path: Finance Careers, Internships, and Emerging Opportunities

Professionals will introduce students to career paths across finance and investments, discuss internships and entry-level roles, and explore emerging opportunities created by AI and technology.

How to Stand Out: Recruiting and Networking Tips

Recruiters and finance professionals will share what employers look for in early-career candidates, along with practical guidance on networking, LinkedIn, interviewing, career readiness, and responsible use of AI during the job search.

Students will also have dedicated Q&A and networking time after each session, plus a structured lunch program where speakers and finance professionals rotate among tables for small-group conversations.

Register Individually or Bring a Group

Faculty may register themselves and their students, or students may register individually. We encourage you to share the event with your classes, finance and investment clubs, internship programs, career centers, and other students considering careers in finance.
