New Orleans Investment Conference
Next edition not announced · usually October · New Orleans, USA
The longest-running investment gathering of its kind — hard-money economics, gold and contrarian macro for private investors.
Overview
Running since 1974, the New Orleans Investment Conference is the elder statesman of the hard-money world — an autumn fixture that blends gold and resource investing with contrarian macroeconomics, monetary-policy debate and portfolio strategy. It has hosted many of the most recognizable names in sound-money and precious-metals commentary across its decades.
The conference is deliberately broad: alongside gold and mining, delegates hear from economists, geopolitical analysts and asset allocators. That mix makes it a strong on-ramp for investors who want the "why" behind precious metals as much as the "what".
Who should attend
A great fit for private investors — new and experienced — who are drawn to the monetary case for gold and want a broad, opinionated macro education alongside company exposure. Physical-bullion-minded attendees will find kindred speakers.
It is open to the public (paid registration), so it suits self-directed investors building conviction rather than institutions running 1-on-1 books.
What to expect
Keynotes and panels from economists, newsletter editors and money managers, a moderated debate tradition, and an exhibit area featuring resource companies and bullion/service providers. Open, welcoming and discussion-heavy.
Geographic emphasis
US-based with a global-macro lens — the content orbits the dollar, US monetary policy and geopolitics as much as any single mining jurisdiction.
