Studio Sessions: Invest Like A Pro

Investopedia and Project Come Up, two New York-based organizations, are hosting a free financial education event for underrepresented young adults—Studio Sessions: Invest Like a Pro. Both organizations have a shared goal: Bring practical financial education and literacy to the people who need it most, and this event is an extension of that mission.

Studio Sessions will be hosted by Investopedia's Editor-in-Chief Caleb Silver on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at the Dotdash Meredith auditorium at 225 Liberty St in New York City.

Attendees will hear from big names in the finance industry, learn about money management, stock trading, and crypto, and can ask questions about building wealth.

Each session is designed to help young adults start building a long-term investing strategy, offer educational analysis on hot topics such as cryptocurrency, and offer additional resources to support their financial education.
