This is an opportunity to network and hunt for jobs that you cannot miss. 

Consider the opportunities for your career at the ALPFA Annual Convention where you will network with up to 2,500 attendees in Boston, Massachusetts. To build on the success of our 2008 Convention, we have been diligently preparing for the 2009 Convention: “Winning Traditions,  Gateway to Success.” Leading the way is KPMG as our Lead Sponsor. Over the years KPMG has been, and continues to be, a strong partner  to ALPFA. New this year is State Street as the Welcoming Presenting  Sponsor, and together we plan to bring you an even bigger and better experience in the city of Boston. This is a critical networking and job hunting event that is hosted in a different US city each year.  This August, ALPFA's Convention city is Boston.
