DC Forecasting & Prediction Markets Meetup -Nov 25
Hosted by Forecasting Meetup Network
ᵔ◡ᵔ
ʘ‿ʘThis month's speaker is John Bennett. John was the co-organizer of the recent Manifest x DC conference that took place earlier this month and will be leading a discussion about what worked well, what didn’t, and what we could do to scale next time.
This month's meetup is sponsored by Kalshi! Trade on anything in all 50 states: politics, sports, entertainment, crypto, weather, and so much more at https://kalshi.com/. Kalshi is the first CFTC regulated exchange dedicated to trading on the outcome of future events. From inflation, to fed rates, to unemployment, to will the government shut down, Kalshi allows people to trade on a broad range of topics. They've developed a new asset class, event contracts, where you can buy Yes or No positions with respect to whether an event will happen or not. Kalshi’s vision is to allow people to capitalize on their opinions, trade in the domain of every day, and hedge risks that relate to them.
Thanks to Kalshi, food and drinks will be provided to all attendees of this month's meetup. A BBQ buffet and fountain drinks will be provided free of charge to this month's attendees. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.
