CFA Society Finland hosted a seminar jointly with Finsif under the theme "Climate crisis is here. Can EU Sustainable Finance Regulation make a difference?" The seminar was attended by almost 100 industry participants. It was organised as a side event to the World Circular Economy Forum organised by Sitra that kicked off the same day.

We hosted a breakfast presentation and Q&A session with guest speaker Emily Haisley, who leads the Risk and Quantitative Analysis Behavioural Finance initiative for BlackRock in Europe.

John Hoggarth from RADA Business taught us today how to utilize our body, breath and voice in communication. We also talked about confidence and how to be sure that our message is understood as we have intended. Thank you to John Hoggarth for a great training session.

Forecast Dinner event was a great success. Presentations covered two important topics: Future of work and AI & technological change

We had the pleasure of inviting Sonia Gandhi, CFA Institute's Ethics Education and Professional director to speak at the Ethical Workshop.  Sonia held four Ethics Workshops at Aalto University, our Affiliate University member, as well as at our major banks and asset managers.  The audience consisted of students, portfolio managers, client advisers as well as compliance and legal resources.

The workshops were considered as important, interesting, useful and fun.  Sonia got excellent feedback from her way of presenting ethics, Standards and code of conduct issues in an interesting and engaging way.
