Online event and webinar options for this spring
CFA Society Finland, along with the rest of the world, has had to cancel all the planned events for this spring. The CFA community around the world is organizing events for members remotely, and some of these are fortunately shared for the benefit of global peers. We are happy to provide you links to these events whenever possible. In addition CFA Institute is offering a series of interesting webinars on current topics.
Life in the world has changed for now and in some ways possibly for good, and this might be a productive opportunity to look at the world from a different angle and take a retrospective view on the past. This situation persuades us to be creative and thus generates insights into the future.
