Whitney Tilson and John Schwartz
The Value Investing Congress and Pre-Congress Workshops are produced by Schwartz Tilson Information, Inc. (STI). Founders John L. Schwartz and Whitney R. Tilson combine decades of creating and delivering high-quality information with more than 20 years of investing success.
Feeling that every investment conference they attended was either too short or too superficial, Schwartz and Tilson designed the Value Investing Congress as an intensive event where presenters can share their unique perspective and attendees can question them directly.
In order to deliver the highest utility, Schwartz Tilson Information holds the Value Investing Congress only twice a year and invites only the most successful money managers to speak. Each Congress is packed full of investing wisdom and attendees leave with actionable investment ideas and a better understanding of current domestic and international markets.
