Ann Arbor, University of Michigan


The FTG Spring 2023 Meeting will be held at Michigan Ross on May 5-6, 2023. The regular meeting will be on Saturday, May 6. On Friday, May 5, there will be informal short presentation sessions and small group dinners. If there is excess demand for presentation slots in the informal sessions, we will allocate slots randomly. The meeting will be held in-person only, subject to any unforeseen circumstances. The meeting is organized by Andrey Malenko, Nadya Malenko, and Uday Rajan, and is sponsored by the Mitsui Life Financial Research Center at Michigan Ross.

Transportation and Directions:
Ann Arbor is located about 25 miles from the Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). The most convenient way to get to Ann Arbor from DTW is to take Uber or Lyft, which typically costs $50-$60 and takes about 30 minutes.
