We run a lively events programme throughout the year, bringing members and stakeholders together with our experts to network, engage, share ideas and develop policy thinking that shapes the capital’s future. The vast majority are now in-person, with a select few remaining virtual.

Most of our 120 events a year are for members and invited stakeholders, but if you see one you’d like to attend, please get in touch with us. Our flagship conference programme is open to all, with tickets available for non-members. If you would like the know more about the forward programme, get in touch.

Our flagship event, Future London, took place on 13 June 2024 at 30 Euston Square. Business leaders from across London and the UK came together to explore the London of tomorrow, gaining invaluable insights from our expert speakers, and benefitting from the senior level cross-sector networking on offer.
