Fleetwood Mac is rocking out on stage at New York City's Metropolitan in front of a crowd of Baron Funds [profile] shareholders, financial advisors, and fundsters. The band is the big finish "surprise entertainment" this afternoon at the 2019 Baron Investment Conference, hosted by Baron Capital founder Ron Baron and his team. This year's theme is "What's Next?"

The Baron folks took over Lincoln Center today yet again for their 28th annual conference, which drew more than 5,000 people. The event is for investors who have at least $25,000 in Baron Funds.

After breakfast sessions, the morning featured CEOs of some of Baron Funds' portfolio companies. Attendees then divided up for lunch: some saw Soledad O'Brien do a Q&A with comics Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert, some saw ballet dancers, and some saw Mariah Carey sing.

Ron Baron also gave away Teslas (and Tesla chairman Robyn Denholm was one of the speakers this morning). One 22-year-old attendee was not in her seat when they announced that seat as a winner of a Tesla model, so another name was drawn. The first would-be winner was devastated when she returned and realized what she missed, so Ron Baron decided to give away two cars.
