Update (new guest speaker): Our guest speaker this month is Flip Pidot. Flip is the founder and CEO of American Civics Exchange, where he leads the development of political futures markets that allow businesses and investors to hedge policy risk. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst with a BA in Economics from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden Business School. Before launching American Civics Exchange in 2008, he worked in asset management and corporate fraud investigation, and served as a market curator at PredictIt from 2014 to 2019. Pidot has also been involved in political campaigns, including running for the U.S. House of Representatives and the New York State Senate. — Join us for our monthly DC Forecasting & Prediction Markets meetup, a very casual meetup to meet and socialize with others interested in forecasting, prediction markets, political gambling, sports betting, or anything else relating to predicting the future. We’re returning to Rocklands BBQ in Arlington a few blocks from the Virginia Sq-GMU metrorail stop on the Orange/Silver line. Free parking also available. We’ll be in the private space upstairs; head to the back of the restaurant, and up the stairs on your left. Food and drink available for purchase. Open to all ages. Last-minute/onsite walk-in RSVPs here on this Partiful event page are welcomed! Who are we? We are prediction market traders on Manifold (and other prediction markets like PredictIt, Kalshi, and Polymarket), forecasters (e.g. on Metaculus and Good Judgment Open), sports bettors (e.g. on FanDuel, DraftKings, and other sportsbooks), consumers of forecasting (or related) content (e.g. Star Spangled Gamblers, Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin, Scott Alexander’s Astral Codex Ten), effective altruists, rationalists, and data scientists.
