MEC Investment Weekend is a two-day event organized by the Bilkent Management & Economics Community (MEC), one of Bilkent University’s most established student organizations since 1988.
Designed for ambitious university students, recent graduates, and young professionals, the event brings together those interested in investment, finance, economics, and global business—combining academic insight with real-world experience.
