FTConferences' photostream  

FT Global Conferences & Events, the conference arm of the Financial Times newspaper, organises the leading summits, conferences, forums and round-tables in business and financial calendars. They provide unrivalled, agenda-setting programmes and the pre-eminent decision-makers, visionaries and strategists across industries and economies worldwide.

Delegates come not only to understand the bigger picture and enjoy unique networking opportunities; they experience lively and stimulating debate about the key issues of our time, enhanced by the participation of the highly regarded and award-winning journalists of the Financial Times, who chair, moderate or speak at all our events.

Established in 1971, FT Global Conferences & Events has organised more than 2,000 high-level strategic events, spanning developed and emerging markets in five continents and a wide range of focus areas such as Telecoms, Media and Technology; Property; Energy; Banking; Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology; Outsourcing, Innovation, and Sustainability.

All conference programmes are devised by a team of expert content developers in collaboration with the FT editorial team to ensure the same high quality of content - along with the integrity and accuracy - the newspaper is renowned for. Speakers and delegates are drawn from the most senior levels of industry, commerce and government. Highly experienced logistical teams ensure a seamless conference experience for attendees at carefully chosen venues enhanced by cutting-edge technology and design concepts. Sponsors are drawn from a cross-section of some of the most recognised and forward-thinking firms across the globe.

Besides the events organised for the FT itself, FT Global Conferences & Events also create customised forums and round-tables for a select group of clients (FT client-tailored events or bespoke forums), and also runs a small number of elite awards programmes that have become the major leadership benchmarks in their field.
