About the FIMS Career Conference

Since 2017, the FIMS Career Conference has brought upper year students together with FIMS alumni who already have established careers, to talk through experiences, what it’s like to navigate the job market, and to offer some encouragement and inspiration at an exciting but daunting time.

Thanks to our keynote and alumni speakers – we couldn’t do it without you!
