Registration for this event, which will be held under Chatham House rules, will be limited to 500 investment professionals. This is not an official CFA Society New York event and is a holiday reception being organized for friends & personal contacts of the organizers. Finance industry peers who do not receive an invitation may request one.

Tom Brigandi's last in-person Holiday Reception in 2021 was oversubscribed with over 500 asset owner, buy-side and sell-side investment professionals registered. Collectively, registered investment professionals for that event represented organizations that have over 30 trillion dollars of assets under ownership, assets under advisory and assets under management. Due to fire-code capacity issues experienced over the past 9 years, the organizers will not accept any additional registrations once 500 is reached.
