22nd Annual Ira Sohn Conference: Here’s the Agenda

I’m making my way over to Lincoln Center on the west side of Manhattan for the 22nd Annual Ira Sohn Investment Conference. I think this is the 8th one for me, I’ve lost count. But it’s one of my favorite days of the year for sure. The Sohn Conference Foundation funds innovative research and care to treat and cure pediatric cancer, striving to help children suffering from cancer survive and thrive. It’s really an amazing organization that has done so much.

As always, we’ll be hearing new investment ideas and outlooks from some of the best and brightest in the world.

I’ll be taking notes here on the blog and sharing, as usual, for all of you. We’re also taping my TV show, the Halftime Report, live from the event with great guests throughout the noon hour.

Here’s the agenda, which has some familiar names and some newcomers to the stage – can’t wait!
