Investment professionals are once again gathering in New York for the annual Ira Sohn Conference, a sold-out show where prominent hedge fund managers and the like showcase their best ideas.

In years past, the confab has attracted high-profile names, including Stanley Druckenmiller, founder of Duquesne Capital; Seth Klarman of the Baupost Group; and Larry Robbins of Glenview Capital. David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital famously described a short against Lehman Brothers in 2008, months before the investment bank went belly up.

This year, the speakers include Erez Kalir, C.E.O. of Sabretooth Capital, Greenlight Capital’s David Einhorn, Steve Eisman of FrontPoint Financial Services Fund and investor Carl Icahn.

DealBook was on hand for the gathering. What follows is a blog of the event.
