The virtual conference, which is taking place from Oct. 26 through Oct. 29, will feature discussions with former Federal Reserve Chairs Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen, as well as talks by Shaquille O’Neal and Laila Ali, and performances by entertainers including Kenny Loggins. Financial attendees will be invited to submit their own vocal performances to share with conference attendees.
