Aaron Brown emailed me this event with a note that "I think it’s a great opportunity for quants who don’t get a lot of exposure to trading, or to only one kind of trading. These guys are all successful traders and good communicators (a rare combination), and except for me, they’re people who don’t do a lot of public speaking."
