Nearly 2,000 investment and wealth management practitioners from around the world will gather for the Investments & Wealth Institute® (formerly IMCA) 2019 Annual Conference Experience (ACE), May 5-8, 2019 at the ARIA Resort in Las Vegas.

This year's conference will feature the youngest tenured professor at Wharton, organizational psychologist and New York Times best-selling author Adam Grant. He has been recognized as a top-rated Wharton professor for four straight years, distinguished as one of the world's 10 most influential management thinkers, and has been listed on Fortune's 40 Under 40.

Also featured is Raghuram Rajan, the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at Chicago Booth. He was the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India between September 2013 and September 2016. Between 2003 and 2006, Dr. Rajan was the Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund.

"ACE has become the preeminent educational even for advanced investment and wealth management practitioners by combining ivy-league quality education with practical application," said Sean Walters, CAE, Investments & Wealth Institute, chief executive officer. "We are committed to delivering world-class educational opportunities and experiences, which include speakers like Adam Grant and Raghu Rajan."
