SGF Conference 2026
Chaired by Prof. Alexander Wagner and organized by the Department of Finance at the University of Zurich
The 2026 Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society for Financial Market Research (SGF Conference) will be chaired by Alexander Wagner, Professor of Finance and Vice Dean for Continuing Education and Alumni, and is organized by our department.
Bringing together researchers from across the field, this annual event fosters collaboration and the exchange of latest insights in finance. This year's conference will be held on Friday, 27 March 2026, at the SIX ConventionPoint in Zurich, Switzerland. A pre-conference dinner, by invitation only, will take place at the Zunfthaus zur Waag in the city center.
"The SGF conference is competitive to get in, but offers a very friendly atmosphere. And the participation of not only academics but also some interested practitioners makes the exchange particularly valuable.” - Alexander Wagner
