Summary
The 14th annual edition of City Week will be held in-person in Central London, and also streamed live on our media channels, over two days between 20-21 May 2024. As in previous years, CW2024 is being organised in partnership with the UK Government, the City of London Corporation, TheCityUK, UK Finance and leading City institutions.
City Week brings together more than 1,000 top-level senior decision-makers from UK and overseas financial institutions for a comprehensive programme of cutting-edge presentations, panel discussions, social events and networking. Like previous editions, this year’s forum will feature many well-known names from the global financial services industry, the world of politics and the international regulatory community.
At the core of City Week are four separate summits (see below), which reflect the boardroom agenda of leading financial institutions from across the world.
The International Capital Markets FINANCIAL Leaders’ Summit
As the City of London develops its strategy as an independent, global financial centre, this summit explores how the UK government, policy makers, regulators and financial services leaders are working together to seize the opportunity presented by its independence to strengthen its position in the international capital markets.
The Climate Change and Natural Capital FINANCIAL Leaders’ Summit
With the effects of climate change increasingly visible and the dramatic impact of biodiversity loss better understood, we have convened government ministers, regulators and leaders of financial institutions from across the world to discuss the crucial role and responsibilities of the financial community in tackling these twin challenges.
The Tokenisation and Digital Assets FINANCIAL Leaders’ Summit
The tokenisation of financial assets through distributed ledgers and blockchain has the potential to shift the way that assets are managed and leveraged, while digital assets will transform the way that capital and financial markets work. This international summit brings together innovators and traditional financial firms to map out the future of financial markets and the challenges ahead.

The AI AND TECHNOLOGY Financial Leaders’ Summit

Signing A Memorandum of Understanding with Investopia
In January, City Week’s CEO, Maurice Button, was delighted to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Investopia the UAE Government’s think tank and global investment platform, in order to explore how the two can work together to their mutual benefit.
Given the complementary nature of the two platforms, there is significant opportunity to support each other’s activities. We are honoured to have entered into this MoU with Investopia.

UK digitisation - how FMIs can play their part
In a bid to enhance London’s position as a premier centre for capital raising, an ambitious digitisation agenda has been proposed, including the dematerialisation of paper share certificates, discontinuation of dividend payments by cheques as well as improvements in shareholder rights and communications.

Following the Rules
CEO Tiina Lee, Nationwide CEO Debbie Crosbie and Howden CAP’s executive chair Mary O’Connor outline how finance companies can best set, monitor and promote their purpose as an organisation.
Today’s episode is a little different to normal. It is a recording of a recent panel discussion from City & Financial Global’s ninth annual 'Culture and Conduct Forum for the Financial Services Industry'. I was invited to moderate a panel on moral capitalism and we discussed how financial services can best link their profits with their purpose, how the newest intake of graduates is influencing firms decisions as they define and promote their purpose internally and externally, the transition to net zero and plenty more in between. I hope you enjoy it.
