NOBLE’S 40TH YEAR & 20TH NOBLECON
Hundreds of public company executive guest speakers. Headliners like three of the most recognizable celebrity investors on the planet. Provocative panels. One-on-one meetings. The After Hangar Party. NobleCon20. The premier in-person multi-sector emerging growth equity conference of the year.
ABOUT
NobleCon has become the preeminent showcase of emerging growth companies. It’s about unfettered access to 200+ public company c-suite executives. Attendees ranging from high-net-worth individuals through to institutional portfolio managers. Panels of key opinion leaders covering topics that matter. Scheduled 1×1 meetings for qualified attendees. Past headliners ranging from Larry King to President George W. Bush. Networking and wind-down events designed to both entertain and keep productivity going. Organizational excellence in a technologically advanced environment. NobleCon20 at Florida Atlantic this December. If you’re looking for the next apple, this is your orchard.
FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
The Florida Atlantic University, College of Business Executive Education (COBEE) complex rivals any comparable facility in the world, with a layout perfect for Noble’s annual equity conference. However, hi-def giant screens, tiered classroom-style seating, and full hard-wired internet and webcasting capabilities in each room are not the reasons we made the move to Florida Atlantic. For more than a decade Noble has worked with the University on developing programs to integrate business and education. From the initiation of the institution’s equity analyst research curriculum, development of Wall Street trading procedures and platforms, to our ongoing intern and international students’ employment programs, our strong ties with Florida Atlantic made the move an easy decision, with the completion of COBEE facility. And with the positive feedback from NobleCon19 attendees, the return to COBEE (with its professional development program ranked #2 in the United States by Financial Times) was an even easier decision. Plus, it’s distraction-free, unlike most hotel environments.
World-class headliners are part of the NobleCon DNA. NobleCon19 featured the 43rd President of the United States. President Bush masterfully delivered a message of optimism; regardless of these trying and divisive times, democracy will survive. Speaking of optimism, we’re opening NobleCon20 with a keynote address from Zack Kass – if you don’t recognize the name, you’ll most certainly know what he brought to market – the game-changing ChatGPT. Zack will take you on a journey through the transformative power of AI, poised to redefine the future of business and humanity. In his compelling and inspiring keynote, Zack underscores the parallels between the historical renaissance and the current AI-driven revolution, highlighting how technology is reshaping industries, organizations, and our very way of life. Zack will then join a moderated panel of experts to probe deeper into power and parameters of AI. Panel details posted soon.
The focus of NobleCon has always been on the importance of entrepreneurship, the economic significance of emerging growth companies, and the methodology of making strategic and disciplined investments. Considering who we are bringing to the stage, there couldn’t be a closer fit. You’ll meet “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, information tech mogul Robert Herjavec, and FUBU founder Daymond John. Following an interactive fireside chat, the “Sharks” will dive into the “Croc Tank” to adjudicate a selection of pitches from Florida Atlantic students and alumni. And, yes, they may just invest in them personally! This first-of-its-kind event – the integration of business, education, investing and a little Hollywood – is expected to gain national attention.
AI: There is no way to avoid it, so understand it. NoblecCon20 Opening Panel Discussion
Geared for non-technologists who want to make sense of the AI world and what it entails, the panel gets past the ‘Art of the Possible’ and into the ‘World of the Practical’. Most of us aren’t techno-savvy, so it’s important to understand what all this means today, for the future, and how to best be prepare for it personally and professionally. It also discusses the hype, the marketing, what’s fact vs. fiction, and how to tell the difference.
Management is information. Considering the number of c-suite executives attending NobleCon20, the panel will also delve into the current data-driven focus of many organizations. While “data monetization” may be the axiom du jour, most organizations fail to make the pivot, with nearly 73% of organizations falling short of what they set out to accomplish with their data strategy. The panel will discuss the reasons why, how to course-correct, and how organizations, and to a great extend individuals, can build a legacy with data.
Finally, the panel will touch on the global economic and moral impacts of AI, and the corporate governance required to keep its growth on a productive path. It is important to understand that we, as humans, are the creators and caretakers of artificial intelligence. We teach it right from wrong. We are at the crossroads of integrating the power of AI in virtually every facet of life, and at the same time curtailing uncurbed growth to ensure we maintain a moral compass.
