Tomorrow the largest industry event of the year will kick off – here’s how to make the most of it.
FM
After months of preparation, the 2017 London Summit kicks off at Old Billingsgate tomorrow! The two-day summit - November 14-15 - is hosted by Finance Magnates, and will feature some of the biggest brokers, banks, and players in the industry. If you have not yet had a chance to register, make sure to reserve your seat now.
This year will see the biggest event yet, including a packed agenda that will touch on all corners of the financial services industry. Attendees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the wide range of panels, discussions, seminars, and workshops across the cryptocurrency, retail, and institutional FX fields.
While at the summit, why not tweet about it with the hashtag, #londonsummit17 – we'll feature it in our posts and ongoing coverage of the event!
With over 2,000 attendees expected to be present at the summit, individuals expect more networking and more business opportunities than ever before. This year’s event will capture several unique trends from around the industry, including the rise of cryptocurrency, reliance on RegTech solutions, and the evolution of the FX space.
The Networking Blitz – start off your summit the right way
The first day of the summit will feature the Finance Magnates Networking Blitz. The Blitz is a unique gathering of the industry’s biggest players, thought leaders, and executives under one roof. This year’s Blitz will be the largest one yet, sponsored by the summit's Key Partner, Zotapay.
The Blitz is open to all attendees and should be one of the top sessions of the event. We encourage all individuals to join us after work – simply get your badge and grab a drink while striking up the conversations you need, in the Vault at Old Billingsgate.
Retail industry in focus
The retail trading industry will take center stage at this year's summit. On a whole, the trading industry has seen a rapid evolution during the year as brokers quickly moved towards integrating the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform as well as a range of cryptocurrency offerings. Moreover, the retail space has been operating under the specter of upcoming regulations that were ultimately postponed until 2018.
Consequently, attendees will have absolutely no shortage of detailed seminars, panels, and sessions to attend, including marketing discussions, an MT5 seminar, a presentation by TradersYard, and several workshops touching on growth strategies and CFDs, among others.
What to expect in the institutional space
The summit will also be directing the spotlight on the institutional space, focusing on the field of RegTech, as well as detailing the Global FX code implemented earlier this year. Moreover, with only a few months to go until the passage of MiFID II on January 3, the focus will be firmly trained on this segment. Check out what we have in store for you.
One of the marquee panel discussions of the event will take place in this space, with a star-studded CEO panel grappling the latest trends and the industry’s readiness for MiFID II regulations. Furthermore, other topics will be highlighted at other workshops, including risk management, an FX convergence analysis, and the Global FX Code panel discussion.

Bangkok is consolidating as Southeast Asia's broker hub for CLMV access, while Vietnam's trading volumes have made it harder to ignore from any regional headquarters. Most brokers know both exist. Fewer have tested what operating there actually requires.
This session gathers practitioners with on-the-ground experience in both markets to examine what it takes to build and run operations in Thailand and Vietnam.
Attendees will walk away with:
A clear view of setup requirements in both markets: entity structures, timelines, and what first-time operators tend to get wrong
Understanding of the offshore broker model and how compliant operators work within domestic restrictions in each jurisdiction
Insight into talent acquisition, client onboarding, and distribution in markets where language, culture, and acquisition channels don't follow standard APAC assumptions
Perspective on adjacent Southeast Asian markets worth monitoring for the next regional move
