  • What London's Intellectual Capital Means for Events
    WHAT LONDON’S INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL MEANS FOR EVENTS London is a world leader as a centre for business, finance and culture. It excels in economic clout, delivers as an urban gateway to Europe and the rest of the world and has notable development and design capabilities – all putting it ahead of the global urban crowd. This powerhouse of attributes also contributes to the capital’s secret weapon: its intellectual capital. The capital of cutting edge, London is a trailblazer in technology, finance, life sciences, creative industries and retail. These sectors have claimed certain areas as their own, with technology in east London, creative industries in Soho, for example, and their proximity has inspired cross-sector innovation in FinTech, AdTech, MedTech, FashionTech, EdTech and more. The city has also attracted four of the world’s top 10 law firms and the UK is Europe’s largest management consultancy market. The city gives access to a population of 8.6 million and the talent, capital and labour market of 14 million people . Companies bringing their events here will be within reach of inspirational speakers from establishments that are specialists in their field and which can be used as venues for conferences, receptions, meetings and events or knowledge exchange with peers. The networking oppor- tunities are unparalleled. Those who bring their events to London cement their reputation for being ahead of the game and give delegates the opportunity to do business with those also at the leading edge. And the city is aspirational, so attendance will be high, with many event planners seeing a 10-20% increase in delegate numbers when hosting their events in London.
