Cross University Finance Summit

About the Club

A cross-university finance summit bringing together: students from Scottish universities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Aberdeen, Strathclyde – universities across Scotland), Industry professionals and alumni.The goal is to create the first collaborative, Scotland-wide finance platform focused on: high-performing students, real skill demonstration (stock pitch) and direct industry access. The structure of the event is 2 days: with the first day being focusing on keynote speakers, panels, networking and end with stock pitch launch. The second day is Careers / recruiter panel, Stock pitch finals (judged) by a group of panellists, some more keynote speakers, some and closing networking drinks and talks. The timeline for the event will be from now to taking place in January to February. • Now → May: build + validate • June → Sept: sponsors + structure • Oct → Nov: speakers + marketing • Jan/Feb: event The idea is to have a cross collaboration between universities creating an overall board for this event with ½ members per university. The universities on board are Aberdeen, Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Strathclyde. We are still reaching out to other universities such as St Andrews or Dundee. We would like a base of around 5 universities from different areas – that is why we are still reaching out as Glasgow and Strathclyde are in the same area so similar connections also by getting at least another university will have further outreach. We want the summit to take place in Glasgow, so we are thinking the union and the ball room as there is a lot of break out areas and capacity to hold 200 people. Furthermore, if Glasgow can’t hold it we will try and reach out to our contacts in Edinburgh as they said it may be able to host. Each provides university provides: 1–2 organisers, speakers, outreach to sponsors, helps grow a student network and act as promotion within the societies creating outreach within the universities and wider societies. For the revenue model there will be a variety of income streams. 1. Tickets – with a cost of £10–£20 per student. • Aiming for 200 attendees earning a profit £2k–£4k. 1. Sponsors: 2–4 firms. WIth an aim of getting £1,000–£2,500 each. We will have a revenue sharing model with the other universities. After costs are covered: • 50% → event reinvestment (next year / growth) • 50% → split across participating societies. The tickets sold – on society pages money will originally go to the overall fund. Then once the event is finished the money can be split. Split based on: • ticket sales contribution • involvement level With each university gets a % based on: number of attendees they bring and level of involvement. “Revenue share after costs, based on contribution” The team structure will be based on two boards. One board will be made of the organisers of the event including Zarah, Yash and Anchal. We will be the main board focusing on ensuring the delegation of tasks, what needs to be carried out, financial organisation and outreach. The second board will be made of two members of each university we will be collaborating with to ensure clear communication of information, resource outreach, and marketing alongside the first board.
