Upcoming Events
City Week is back for its 15th annual edition! Held in-person over three days in London from 30 June to 2 July, as well as being live-streamed around the world, this year’s edition is taking place at a time of significant geopolitical developments that are set to have a profound effect on trade and investment flows, as well as the financial markets that support them.
The drive to establish the UK as a leading centre for AI is a critical part of the government’s growth strategy.
On the 9th of June the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, announced £1bn of extra funding in AI to scale up the nation’s compute power *by a factor of 20”, a further £187 million to improve AI skills among school-aged children, and a partnership with the tech sector to upskill 7.5 million workers by 2030. In April, the government invited local authorities to submit bids to become AI Growth Zones. These actions are part of the implementation of the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, published in January and led by Matt Clifford, the purpose of which is to boost the UK’s AI sector and make it a global leader. The UK Government is committed to making the UK the location of choice for AI companies and a centre in excellence in terms of how businesses harness the benefits of AI to compete in the new economy. It is vital for both the public and private sector to fully understand how to seize the opportunities that the government’s policies will offer them.

“We’ve worked with the C&F team on many conferences relating to accountability, the team here are exceptionally good at organising events. A broad and diverse mix of delegates and that’s of most interest because that’s why people come to conferences; to peer to peer network and talk, you have to have enough people of the right calibre in the room, and that’s what City & Financial do differently to other conference organisers”.
Carl Redfern, Compliance Director, Redland Business Solutions Ltd“Interesting discussion around Brexit and the implications for the energy sector. I think it’s got a excellent range of speakers from academia, politicians as well as industry speakers, which helps getting that spread”.“Also if you look at the delegate list, it’s great for networking to see the wide range of delegates from across the UK who are in attendance”.
Lawrence Slade, Chief Executive, Energy UK“As ever with City week it’s a fantastic gathering of senior people from across the industry talking about the key issues that we need to deal with as practitioners looking at both where the opportunities for the industry are, what the challenges are that we need to meet, but also being able to talk to policy makers, with regulators and with others to share our experiences, our perspectives and our thoughts to look forward to the future”.
Miles Celic, Chief Executive Officer, TheCityUK“It’s the largest Brexit conference I’ve seen for at least two years, and I think that it’s a very great mix of people; in terms of seniority and in terms of spread and geographically, because it’s not just people from London, some people are coming from outside (London)”.
Jonathan Herbst, Partner and Global Head of Financial Services, Norton Rose Fulbright“I would like to say a massive thanks @cfconferences for pulling together so many experts for the event yesterday. Felt like the Glastonbury of Conduct with headline acts, great content and sell-out crowd. Plenty of content for us to go away and act on our journey to regain trust”.
Robert Longmuir, Client Governance, Aberdeen Standard Investments“It’s an honour to attend this year’s Tokenisation Summit. I’d like to congratulate City and Financial Global for bringing us together here today. You’ve produced an exciting agenda and impressive cast list, across both industry and the regulatory communities.”
