The 2024-2025 Booth IMG Co-Chair team is excited to announce that the annual Chicago Booth Investment Conference & Competition (CBICC) will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at Booth’s Harper Center in Hyde Park, with sponsor firm networking opportunities to follow in downtown Chicago on Friday, November 8. CBICC provides a unique forum for talented students from a number of top business schools to connect with preeminent academic researchers as well as industry professionals from our sponsor firms.

The competition component of CBICC includes two tracks: stocks and credit. For the stock pitch track, each team will pitch one stock idea (long or short) out of a predetermined list of stocks. For the credit pitch track, each team pitches one corporate credit security. Finalist teams from both tracks, selected by our expert judges, will participate in a second round of presentations to determine the overall winner for each competition. 

The conference also includes panel sessions and fireside chats, during which keynote speakers will discuss the current market environment and share their own investment perspectives. In addition to formal programming, the conference will provide networking opportunities through coffee chats among sponsor firms, competition participants, and Booth students.
