Events on the West Coast

[Namitha]

I know I am far from the "hub" of quants; wondering if there are any events that happen on this side of the world (Cali)?

Didn't find anything on the threads.

Look into data analysis/statistics/other sorts of data analysis in technology events in Silicon Valley would be my best advice.

 

[Namitha]

Will do! Thank you!

where are you looking in Cali? Bay, LA, or SD? This would help

 

[Namitha]

The Bay area mostly. South Bay, Stanford area, Berkeley...

I would look on the Berkeley website, IAFE, or just do a google search

SF QWAFAFEW is the most ideal, but they haven't sponsored anything since May.

Not quant specific, but tends to have people from Mellon Capital and Blackrock (ex BGI) present.

It's not the Bay area but for Southern Californians ( or those willing to travel) there is an Energy & Energy Derivatives conference at Claremont coming up:

Thanks physEcon; but it's a pretty long drive for me.
