Attendees received stress-relief "squishies" designed for the financial market, along with wine from the boutique Israeli winery Samuel and chocolate made from the original recipes of chocolatier Dvir Karp, who was killed in the October 7th Hamas attack. Upon departure, participants were given succulents from the Soka farm, which supports at-risk youth and individuals with mental health challenges, and socks produced by a joint Jewish-Arab family business in the Galilee.
The conference was sponsored by Altshuler Shaham Finances and supported by Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, Bezeq, and Profit Group. Herzl Aribav won the investment quiz.
