Value Investing Conference

The mission of the Value Investing Conference is to annually assemble the investing public, professional investors, scholars, and students in the field of value investing for the purpose of highlighting and disseminating best practices, honoring best practitioners, and revealing new trends and developments in the field.

There is a large group of successful traditional and alternative asset class fund managers who believe they owe their success in value investing to the teachings of Mr. Charlie Munger and Mr. Warren Buffett. In addition, these managers share the Munger and Buffett view that Munger and Buffett's ideas have been paid scant attention by academics. While several value investing conferences are conducted each year, no prominent academic institution has addressed this area.
