BlueSky Event Archives
BlueSky Events were initiated by Rain King as a way to bring traders together for an entire day to discuss trading topics, research and core investing principles. We began in 2018 in a small classroom at MIT in Cambridge with 35 people. Luckily we did start to audio record few session in 2018 and all in 2019 and captured the presentation slides. At BlueSky3, we transitioned to a video recorded online event with a global audience reaching thousands. We have gained momentum each year with outstanding speakers and broad participation. BlueSky7 is in the planning stages and we are exploring the feasibility of a 2 day in person live event in Boston….stay tuned!
