Overall: @TheSandDoctor: Nice work on this article. I notice that the article says "is considered by the New York Times to be "one of Wall Street’s most prominent gatherings"" twice in the lead. I would remove one of these as a duplicate, but this doesn't really affect the DYK review. Epicgenius (talk) 17:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Thank you for the review and for pointing that out! I am not sure how I didn't notice that. I think that was supposed to be somewhat the start of the body but clearly in the wrong spot. I've re-arranged it now. Does that look better? --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 18:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

No problem. Yeah, it looks good now. Epicgenius (talk) 18:16, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Awesome. Thank you for the compliment, by the way! I was genuinely surprised an article didn't exist on this when I started digging. The largest conference of its kind as noted by the Financial Times (FT), a paper of record in its industry, and compared to the Super Bowl by NYT, and chronicled a decent amount by Reuters & WSJ was somehow missed. It really does make you wonder how much has been missed being recorded due to paywalls or just simply because there is so much going on at all times that some really big things just slip through the cracks. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 18:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
