Test your investing prowess, or just test your luck! Mix and mingle with top business professionals, and enjoy this fun, unique and first-class event.

This action-filled evening will feature forty teams of eight competing to see who can grow their "mock" stock portfolio to achieve the highest overall net worth. Teams are issued $500,000 in mock stock to invest in 26 fictious companies. Each trading day lasts eighty seconds - two months of trading are condensed into one exciting evening. On-site traders with PDA's make buying and selling instantaneous, so trading is fast, furious and fun.

Periodic news releases and "hot tips" reflect fictitious world events and industry developments, which in turn cause stock prices to fluctuate. Participants must be on their toes, constantly reacting to the market's ups and downs.
