Update - We were so happy to welcome almost 400 students, alumni, and industry practitioners to the 2022 Duke PEVC Conference. Our speakers and panelists were a highlight for all who joined, and the level of engagement throughout the whole day far surpassed our expectations for the event. We hope you’re able to join us next year as we continue the mission to educate, provide access, and expand the impact of Duke students and alumni involved, or hoping to be involved, in the private equity and venture capital industries.
