Speakers
The market turmoil and uncertainty of recent months has created a situation where opportunity and fear appear to be working in equal measure. Investors are looking for short term advantages and long term stability - in some cases within the same portfolio! This year, perhaps more than ever, we encourage you to attenda the 18th annual World Outlook Financial Conference. True to the principles of our founder, Michael Campbell, our chosen speakers have a mandate to present attendees with unbiased, world class information and analysis. They have been invited to participate as a speaker because they are people who have reached the pinnacles of their professions and in some cases are vetting millions of dollars in consulting and advisory fees.
