THE OCTAVIAN SEMINAR 2019
January 17 -19, 2019: This year’s seminar in Zurich and Flims, the second in our history, was another important milestone for the Octavian Team. We are pleased with the achieved result: Over the three days we welcomed 32 companies and more than 80 clients, which interconnected and interfaced to gain insightful and valuable information and investment ideas.
We hope our efforts delivered results of quality. Once more, we would like to recall that our seminar rests on 20+ years of legacy from our former employer; as such, we are committed to make the Octavian Seminar a tradition that will honor that legacy and that will continue to deliver ideas, insight and high - quality interactions. As always, we hope to have some fun along the way.
We thank all participating companies and investor clients for their continued trust and support.
Team Octavian looks forward to the next Octavian Seminar, which will take place on January 16 - 18, 2020. Please save-the-date.
