Dear Reader,

We’ve spent several months preparing and planning behind the scenes, and now it’s finally time to announce this year’s Strategic Investment Conference.

If you want to skip the formalities and reserve your seat now, you’ll find a signup link below with the dates and our current list of expert speakers (with more being added every week).

The last 12 months have been full of economic and geopolitical surprises, few of them pleasant.

Together, we’ve seen persistent rate hikes from the Fed, unrelenting inflation pressure, and the end of the “easy money” era.

Whether we’ll see an official recession or not in 2023 is yet to be seen.

But one thing is certain: If you turned back the clock two or three years, few would have predicted where we’d be sitting today.

That’s why I’ve spent so much time over the last decade writing about “thinking the unthinkable.”

Preparing yourself for unlikely scenarios and their second- and third-order effects is the only way to truly protect yourself (and leverage the opportunities) from unexpected events like these.

To that end, I’m eager to consult the esteemed faculty of the SIC 2023 and find out how they see the dominoes lining up for the rest of the year. We’re still in the process of lining up speakers, but you can click here to see who has confirmed so far. 

This year’s SIC will take place on alternating days between May 1 and May 10. (The dates are May 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10.)

“This is the best conference with the best input of every year.”
—Michael C.

Last year’s SIC was one to remember, and we’re doing everything we can to outdo ourselves this year.

One of the headliners we’ve already secured is Neil Howe, co-author of the best-selling book The Fourth Turning. Neil is a true visionary when it comes to understanding generational trends and how the cycle perpetuates.

With the amount of uncertainty and civil unrest we’re experiencing today, I’m keen to hear how he sees the future panning out and where we go from here.

Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir, will be back on stage with us too. He’s one of the most thoughtful and accomplished entrepreneurs I’ve met, with the longest list of enterprises he either launched or helped launch.

I’m eager to hear all about the latest ventures he’s been involved in and what he sees coming… and knowing Joe, I’m sure it’ll make a riveting story.

Perpetual audience favorite, Louis Gave of Gavekal Research, will be returning as well. Louis always shares a wealth of information and unique insights in a way that only he can deliver.

I have no doubt he’ll return with more valuable perspectives on what to watch for throughout the global economy. But I’m sure no matter how bleak the prognosis, he’ll make it a lively and enjoyable discussion you won’t want to miss.

This should offer you a quick snapshot of what’s to come, but we’ve already added 20 speakers to our faculty of preeminent experts… and more are signing on by the day.

Like last year, aside from solo presentations, you’ll also enjoy our popular panels and fireside chats focusing on the most pressing economic, political, and investment topics of the day.

And of course, you’ll be able to review the conference content again at your leisure. We’ll provide video and audio recordings and transcripts of each session and presenter slides (as available).

“I get so much value from this conference and speakers that I make sure I have nothing else on my calendar for these days!”
—Jeff A.

“Fantastic lineup. I learn so much every year, and 2022 was no exception. It seems I learn more and more every year to think like an investment professional. Great use of my time and money. Thank you for doing this every year.”
—Steven M.

“The Mauldin conference is the only conference I attend all year. It is full of market wisdom and is intellectually challenging. Love it. It’s obvious that John has a great circle of influential friends/colleagues, and we get to look in on their dinner chats. Stimulating.”
—Filip L.

I hope this year, you’ll join us as a fellow attendee, whether it’s your first time or (like several attendees) you’ve been with us since the beginning. My team and I will keep you updated on more developments as they come.

2022 caught many investors off guard. I hope you’ll join me as we prepare for what comes next by consulting the best and brightest on how they’re “thinking the unthinkable” and planning accordingly.
