This request is from one of my former students. Since CFA Philippines is a non-profit entity, I feel that promoting one of their events on the blog does not violate my self-imposed ban on advertising.

Dear Investor Juan,
Good day!
The Chartered Financial Analyst Society of the Philippines (“CFA Philippines”), a non-profit professional membership organization of finance and investment practitioners will be holding its “First Philippine Junior Finance and Investment Summit” on July 6, 2013, Saturday, from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M at the SMX Convention Centre. This event aims to enhance financial literacy and elevate the quality of the finance profession in the country. This finance career and educational campaign will help students and young professionals prepare for a career in the finance and investment industry through presentations and discussion forums.
So far, we have invited well-known and seasoned speakers to talk in this event. I believe the admission fee will be less than Php 500 including packed lunch and snacks (emphasis is mine - IJ). Hope you can help us promote the event! :D
Confirmed speakers are:
