The 2nd Women in Quantitative Finance Americas Conference (WQF)

Event Deferral:

Due to the extraordinary global circumstances regarding the coronavirus we have taken the responsible step to defer the 2nd WQFA conference to later in the year. The exact same conference will take place once the global environment allows. We feel this is the only responsible course of action regarding everyone’s personal safety and well-being.

Due to the sell out and huge success of WQFA 2019 we are delighted to announce the second running of Women in Quantitative Finance Americas Conference (WQF). This conference will showcase the female talent within the existing quants community, discuss opportunities for the next generation and the current challenges for women in quantitative finance. Please note this is not a female only conference.

Complimentary pre-conference workshop to all attendees

The Importance of Soft Skills in a Quantitative World

Quantitative finance often requires substantial “hard skills”–programming, machine learning, data science, AI.  But what about the “soft skills” required to collaborate with others, obtain buy-in for ideas, and lead cross-functional teams?

This fast-paced workshop will highlight the importance of these skills within the industry.  Attendees will learn:

  • What the DISC personality assessment tool is and how can it improve self-awareness
  • Ways to improve communication skills to increase your influence
  • How to obtain support for your ideas
  • Steps to build effective business relationships
  • How to work with “difficult” people
