Proud Hosts of ENGAGE® UIC.

MII hosts the leading nationwide collegiate investment conference, the ENGAGE® Undergraduate Investment Conference, in-person at the University of Michigan each year.

As Featured On

The UIC was founded in 2007 by students in Michigan Interactive Investments as a stock pitch competition between Ross undergrads.

By 2018, the conference grew to be more than just a pitch competition, drawing hundreds of top students from over 50 schools to hear from keynote speakers and panelists, and engage in interactive workshops and networking sessions.

After two years of a pandemic-induced virtual forum, UIC made its in-person return in 2023 with one of its most prominent gatherings yet. Members of MII have the unique opportunity to plan all aspects of the renowned conference, including building relationships with speakers, sponsors, and prospective participants. UIC will return this fall on October, 27th, 2023.
