Brooklyn Professor Nassim Taleb keynotes Synergy Global Conference
'Black Swan' author one of a dozen business legends in rare gathering
It’s been called a “once-in a-lifetime happening” and a “master class in disruption,” gathering business, technology and research legends under one roof for an event not likely to be repeated.
Noted author, mathematician, economist and professor of risk engineering at Downtown Brooklyn’s NYU Tandon, Nassim Nicholas Taleb is one of a lineup of world-class speakers who will be appearing at Synergy Global Forum New York on Oct. 27 and 28.
Taleb spent 21 years as a quantitative trader before becoming a researcher in problems of risk and probability. He coined the phrase “black swan,” a highly improbable and unexpected event that carries massive impact, such as 9/11 or a sudden stock market crash.
