Why it’s worth going
The Bloomberg Terminal is the industry-standard platform used by investment professionals worldwide, and hands-on exposure to its capabilities gives finance students a significant advantage when entering the job market. This event offers direct access to Bloomberg specialists who can show you how to apply Terminal functions to real workflows, rather than just theoretical knowledge. The networking component connects you with Ottawa’s investment community in an informal setting, creating opportunities to meet potential employers and mentors who actually use these tools daily.
Going in prepared
Arrive ready to ask Bloomberg specialists about specific functions or workflows you’ve heard about but haven’t used, or how the Terminal applies to your area of interest within finance. Bring business cards or have your LinkedIn profile ready to share, as the networking reception format is ideal for making connections with Ottawa investment professionals. Consider attending earlier in the 4:30–6:30 p.m. window to ensure you have time to visit multiple stations and still network. If you’re currently job searching or exploring career paths, prepare a concise introduction about your finance interests to make the most of the networking opportunity.
