Each year, prominent economists, wealth managers, traders, heads of research, pundits, financial luminaries and a few journalists meet for events know as “Camp Kotok.” The oldest and original event continues to be held in a remote part of Maine and like the others, offers a unique opportunity to network and converse under Chatham House Rules, granting attendees the freedom to discuss any topic under anonymity.

Each year, the main Camp Kotok event is held at Leen’s Lodge in Maine. It consists of a long weekend in the summer of fishing, hunting, and vigorous debate running the gamut from market valuations and the rise of exchange-traded funds to Federal Reserve policy and health care.
