Our 2022 International Conference, was in partnership with Freshfields and HSBC, and focused on the UK’s role as an international financial centre and the opportunities to grasp and challenges and trends to tackle if it is to retain its world-leading status. As the UK forges new trading relationships with countries across the world, the conference also considered the key areas of global demand for financial and related professional services and the industry’s future approach to international trade and investment.
