SUMMARY:2026 WSB Private Capital Conference
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past two decades\, private capital has experienced significant growth and transformation\, driven by increasing global demand for alternative investments.

Institutional investors\, such as pension funds\, endowments\, and sovereign wealth funds\, have poured capital into private markets\, fueling the rise of mega-funds and expanding investment into sectors like technology\, healthcare\, and infrastructure. Regulatory changes\, increased access to technology\, and a shift toward more flexible capital structures have also played a key role\, enabling private capital firms to take a more active role in company growth and operational improvements. As a result\, private capital has become a more prominent and influential part of the global financial ecosystem. \n\n\n\nThe Third Annual WSB Private Capital Conference\n\n\n\nWSB is honored to host the 2026 Private Capital Conference on October 23.

SUMMARY:Virtual Info Session: Wisconsin School of Business Precollege Programs
DESCRIPTION:The Wisconsin School of Business Precollege Programs provide high school students with opportunities to explore their interest in business and higher education. Through engaging school-year workshops and immersive summer camps\, participants learn directly from Wisconsin School of Business faculty and staff while developing critical business and leadership skills. Program experiences include faculty-led presentations and non-credit courses\, company visits and job shadowing opportunities\, case competitions\, and campus exploration activities that introduce students to college life.  \n\n\n\nSince launching in 2023\, WSB Precollege Programs have served nearly 500 high school students. To expand access to these opportunities\, enrollment priority is given to students who are first-generation college students (the first in their immediate family to attend a four-year college or university) or who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.  \n\n\n\nAttend a virtual info session to learn more about school year and summer programs offered by the Wisconsin School of Business Precollege Programs!
