Noble Capital Markets and Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business will jointly host the 21st annual NobleCon conference, known as “NobleCon21,” on December 2 and 3 at FAU’s Executive Education Complex in Boca Raton.
The event will feature Fox News host Bret Baier, who will participate in a fireside chat discussing the recent election and its economic and corporate impacts. The conference program also includes presentations from over 200 C-suite executives, one-on-one meetings, and networking opportunities.
“NobleCon is by far our largest and most anticipated event at our facility at the College of Business,” said Vegar Wiik, assistant dean and executive director of executive education. “We are pleased to host them for a third year, merging business activity and educational experiences.”
The conference opens on December 2 at 5:30 p.m. at Mizner Park Amphitheater with remarks from Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, FAU President Adam Hasner, and Nico Pronk, president and CEO of Noble Capital Markets. During the event, Noble will introduce the Golden Bull Awards to recognize business leaders noted for innovation and transformative strategy. Finalists include Mike Tyson; Robert Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice); John Fieldly, CEO of Celsius Holdings; David Lloyd, founder of David Lloyd Clubs; JW Roth, CEO of Venu Holdings; Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax Media; and Stuart Rosenstein, co-founder of Townsquare Media.
Bret Baier has received recognition such as the Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism and an award from the Horatio Alger Association for his contributions to higher education and charitable efforts.
“We’ve been collaborating with Noble on various projects for 15 years and being an integral part of this amazing event for the third year is very exciting,” said Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Kaye Family Professor. “Noble understands and appreciates the importance of integrating business and education. The way they work with us to execute an event of this size demonstrates how they take a creative and entrepreneurial approach with an incredible level of detail. It’s a lot of business fun.”
Past conferences have included notable speakers such as former U.S. President George W. Bush at NobleCon19 as well as investors Daymond John, Robert Herjavec, and Kevin O’Leary from ABC’s “Shark Tank.”
“Clearly, we’ve moved past the proof-of-concept phase,” said Mark Pinvidic, Noble’s managing partner and conference orchestrator. “Although we’ve been hosting NobleCon for more than two decades, attendance and interest in the conference have grown exponentially since the move.”
