Each year, the GVSFA hosts its annual conference in Vancouver, bringing together over 150 students for a full day of engaging activities. This year's conference introduced British Columbia's first-ever Finance Bee competition, alongside interactive seminars with industry professionals specializing in quantitative trading and portfolio management. The goal of GVSFA is to inspire students who already have a passion in finance and business to have an outlet for creative expression, and fun filled competition. In 2025, the conference will expand internationally to host over 1000+ people with a preset participant registration phase, to be hosted over the course of 3 nights in Downtown Vancouvers Sheraton Wall Centre hotel. 2025 will host school sign ups, as well as individual sign ups.
The schedule over a course of an expanded three days will include, industry internship networking, prepared food, prizes, late night trivia, Trading Floor Simulator(literally-we’ll have a hotel floor), the classic competition over three rounds, and a Monopoly-Inspired Room Takeover, where each hotel room within a sectional will represent different properties or assets. Teams “buy” rooms with “currency” they earn from challenges and try to build a portfolio.“market crash,” “interest rate hike,” etc. happen in real time!
The Greater Vancouver School Finance Association (GVSFA) is Vancouver's only network of high school finance clubs, bringing together students from across the Greater Vancouver area who share an interest in finance, economics, and business. The annual GVSFA Conference, held in Vancouver, offers a professional, engaging, and challenging experience where students compete and connect.
