NOBLE’S 40TH YEAR & 20TH NOBLECON
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.

THE AFTER
Who doesn’t love a great party? And we’ve become known for throwing some pretty good ones. 900 attended the NobleCon19 “AFTER” Gatsby-themed Hangar Party. We’re changing things up, just a bit, for 2024. These experiential events are designed to delight and surprise even the most seasoned attendees. Most importantly, it offers another opportunity to network and showcase our presenting companies.
The PRIVAIRA Private Aviation Hangar is again the destination for the AFTER. Located at the Boca Raton International Airport, it is, literally, on the “other side of the fence” from NobleCon20 at Florida Atlantic. Thinking of flying private?
