What a day at FHC 4.0! Menlo College hosted our 4th Finance Hybrid Conference this week, bringing together academics, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and students to explore one big question: How are fintech and AI changing the future of finance and real estate?
The conference featured keynote speakers Bill Reichert of Pegasus Tech Ventures, Kirsten Rhodes of Deloitte, and Christina Bui of Robert Half, as well as panels of industry leaders, including John McNellis, Menlo alumnus Chop Keenan ’66, and many more. Attendees also took part in fireside chats spanning academia, venture capital, and materials science.
A special thank you to Prof. Dr. Faten Ben Bouheni, whose leadership made this conference possible and gave our students direct access to the people shaping these industries.
One of the advantages of being located near Silicon Valley? Menlo can bring these conversations and connections directly to our students, giving them opportunities to learn from the people building what’s next.
