Such an amazing turnout for the epic Columbia University Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) 2025 conference!!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the Columbia University Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) 2025 Future of Portfolio Management & Artificial Intelligence conference. The event gathered leading professionals and academics to explore the evolving landscape of portfolio management and quantitative finance. One of the most valuable insights was the growing influence of data and machine learning in modern investment strategies. As financial markets become more complex, the ability to analyze large datasets and apply AI-driven models is transforming how risk is assessed, portfolios are optimized, and opportunities are identified. The convergence of finance and technology is no longer a future vision; it is reshaping the present. As a student with a strong interest in finance, I found the discussions both inspiring and motivating. They served as a reminder of the importance of continuously developing both technical and analytical skills to keep pace with the industry’s evolution. I’m especially grateful to Alexander Fleiss and Izabela Rutkowski for hosting such a well-organized and insightful event. Thanks as well to the Columbia University Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) program for creating this valuable space for knowledge-sharing and connection. If you are passionate about AI-driven finance, data science, or portfolio management, feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and exchange ideas. #Finance #QuantitativeFinance #MachineLearning #PortfolioManagement #ColumbiaMAFN #FinancialMarkets #AIinFinance #DataScience #ContinuousLearning

Columbia University Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) 2025 conference was a great experience for our team. It was the first event outside India for us at Quant Insider, it wouldn't have been possible without the support of Christina Qi and Alexander Fleiss, I am grateful to both of them. I would like to thank everyone who dropped by our booth at the conference. I had a big FOMO about not being there in person but our representative kept me updated the whole time. I hope to be there next time. It was great to connect with the Quant community. Events like these bring together members of the community and give a space to discuss and share ideas and connect with other members of the community. I really appreciate Alexander Fleiss and his team for putting together the conference and making the event a great success.

Yesterday’s Columbia University Mathematics of Finance (MAFN) conference was a special experience. We reunited with the quant community, reconnected with familiar faces, and met so many incredible people who share a passion for innovation in quantitative finance. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello - whether you’re a Databento user, investor, or simply a supporter of what we’re building, your enthusiasm means the world to us. Hearing your feedback, ideas, and stories is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. These events aren’t just about the panels or talks (though those were fantastic!) - they’re about the vibrant conversations in the hallways, the exchange of ideas, and the sense of camaraderie that brings this community together. To Alexander Fleiss, the volunteers, and everyone involved in making the Columbia MAFN Conference a success: thank you for putting together such an impactful event. You made the experience so special for Eric Duncan and me. Here’s to pushing the boundaries of data and technology, and to many more conversations like these in the future! ??

Greatly enjoyed another fantastic #quant event hosted by the finance rockstar Alexander Fleiss of Rebellion Research at Columbia University. So lucky to be on a panel moderated by the maestra Christina Qi with Didier Rodrigues Lopes Petros Zerfos Chris White and Yosef Zweibach. We discussed the applications of AI models in modern investment, what AI tech is building viable value-creating products, and much more. Looking forward to the next one!
