Networking & Social Events
Build Connections. Exchange Ideas. Grow Your Network.
At CFA Society Hartford, we believe some of the most valuable professional connections happen outside the conference room.
Our networking and social events bring together investment professionals from across Connecticut and the surrounding region in welcoming, engaging settings designed to encourage conversation, strengthen relationships, and expand professional networks.
Whether you're an experienced investment professional, a recent CFA charterholder, a CFA Program candidate, or an emerging leader in the industry, our events provide opportunities to connect with peers at every stage of their careers.
More Than Networking
Our events are designed to make it easier to meet people, start conversations, and develop relationships that extend beyond a single event.
Throughout the year, members can participate in a variety of experiences, including:
- Networking Socials – Relaxed gatherings at local venues where members and guests can connect over food and drinks.
- Interactive Events – Activities that combine networking with golf, sports, games, and other shared experiences.
- Professional Roundtables – Smaller gatherings that encourage candid conversation and the exchange of ideas around issues affecting investment professionals.
- Hartford Women in Investments (HWIN) – Events that bring together women across the investment community for networking, professional development, and meaningful conversation.
- Emerging Leaders – Opportunities for early-career professionals and newer CFA charterholders to build relationships, expand their networks, and become more involved in the Society.
- Joint Society & Partner Events – Programs with other CFA societies and professional organizations that help members build connections beyond the CFA Society Hartford community.
- Signature Events – Larger gatherings, including our Annual Forecast Dinner, that bring together investment professionals, industry leaders, sponsors, and members of Connecticut's financial community.
Connect Across Connecticut's Investment Community
CFA Society Hartford's membership represents professionals working across investment management, wealth management, financial planning, research, consulting, banking, insurance, and related fields.
Our networking programs create opportunities to meet people you may not encounter in your everyday work—from senior industry leaders and portfolio managers to analysts, advisors, CFA candidates, and the next generation of investment professionals.
These connections can lead to new perspectives, professional relationships, mentorship opportunities, career development, collaboration, and greater involvement in the local investment community.
Welcoming New and Emerging Professionals
You don't need an established professional network to participate.
In fact, our events are an ideal way for new members, CFA Program candidates, students, and early-career professionals to become connected with CFA Society Hartford.
Through our Emerging Leaders Group and Mentorship Program, we are also creating more opportunities for professionals at different career stages to learn from one another, develop leadership skills, and build lasting relationships within the Society.
