Our Christmas events 2023 were held in Tallinn and Helsinki
As final gatherings for the calendar year 2023 CFA Society Finland organized two Christmas events. Tallinn Christmas dinner was organized for the fourth time on December 7th at Ãme Restaurant, hosted by board members Vahur Vallistu, CFA and Toni Iivonen, CFA. The evening was joined by 11 of our members. Society was also happy to award a new charterholder in Tallinn, congratulations to Julia Vassiljeva, CFA!
Helsinki Christmas Dinner and Charter Awards was organized at Scandic Grand Central on December 14th. This year we invited both members and candidates to join the annual event. The evening was hosted by board members Tuomas Hillukkala, CFA and Toni Iivonen, CFA. We enjoyed a very topical and intriguing presentation on quantum computing, by Costantino Garugno, Research Scientist at VTT. Quantum computing, albeit involving many complex scientific concepts, is now emerging as a promising frontier in revolutionizing various industries, including finance. With the potential to solve problems at an unprecedented scale, quantum computing holds interesting possibilities for the future in how financial institutions analyze data, and optimize and manage risks.
The evening was joined by two new charterholders, congratulations Ilkka Heikkilä, CFA and Aleksi Saari, CFA! Also Monika Kallas-Anton, CFA and Noah Charles Law, CFA earned the charter this November, congratulations!
Thank you everyone for attending our events during this festive season. Hope to see you all again in 2024!
