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.
