This brings me back. While I didn't attend HedgeStock, I used to post on the Albourne Village forums of the "conference" organizer. They had a points system which I found a way to game, accumulating enough points to buy a Hedge Stock calendar. "strange" and "unpleasant" were thoughts that ran through mine and my coworkers heads as we paged through the calendar.

For WeWork the vegan, hippy vibe seems part of their culture. I had a harder time reconciling that type of atmosphere applied to the investment management industry.
