The best ideas often seem obvious in retrospect, and the Future of Financial Information conference is a good example. Michał and the FutFinInfo organizers have developed a much needed conference given where financial economics is headed. They have also taken the theme of the conference to heart as they are continually innovating based on new technologies. The conference has given me opportunities to network, get crucial feedback, and learn about cutting edge datasets and techniques used to further the field of finance. I look forward to seeing what is in store for future editions of FutFinInfo.
