The London air is heavy with the scent of excitement and opportunity, and that can only mean one thing - the Finance Magnates London Summit is coming to town.
All around the world, top executives of the financial industry are trimming their hair, laying out their best suits, and packing their suitcases with hundreds of new business cards as they prepare to travel to the Mecca of the online trading industry.

For those who don't know, for five years now Finance Magnates has been the proud host of the most important industry event of the year. Over a thousand of the industry's most influential people come together to network and to learn. The agenda is packed with distinguished speakers, panel discussions and hands-on workshops, while the networking wheels are kept oiled by copious amounts of food, coffee, and alcohol.
Among the many highlights of the event is the Finance Magnates Awards, the only such competition in the world. The winners in each category are chosen by the votes of industry peers - a Finance Magnates Award is a highly regarded badge of prestige.
Aside from the closing party in one of the most exclusive London nightclubs, we have organised for you a performance by the world-famous mentalist Lior Suchard, known for his appearances on the Tonight show in the US.
To business
The financial industry of late has been contending with some very real issues, from ever more stringent regulation to disruptive events such as the Brexit and the US election. At the same time, technological developments have been revolutionising finance as we know it - from cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain to mobile Payments and high speed trading, there has never been a more exciting time to be in finance.
The discussions at the London Summit will cover all of the issues pertinent to the industry at this time - you can look forward to the chief executives of the most important companies conducting fascinating discussions regarding the Brexit, jobs in FX, technology, and how MiFID II changes the face of European regulation.

All of these subjects and more will be analysed and discussed in the packed agenda - you won't have time to do everything! What is certain though is that you will not find a bigger gathering of like-minded people and the business opportunities that come with this anywhere else.
At the moment, there are 1300 registered attendees and counting - at least 600 more are expected to attend.
If you haven't registered already, what are you waiting for?
