Seeking Networking Tips for pivoting into Quant Finance: Societies, Conferences, and Clubs

[Kshmir]

I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Physics and Financial Mathematics and am seeking to expand my professional network within the quantitative finance industry. I’ve found it challenging to identify resources or communities with well-connected individuals in this field. Could you recommend any societies, clubs, or conferences that would be valuable for networking? Additionally, I will be attending the Columbia Investors Summit in late March and would appreciate any insights on making the most of that experience.
