We had a great evening at BAFTA in Piccadilly celebrating the 20 year anniversary of J O Hambro Capital Management’s UK Equity Income fund. Fund Managers Clive Beagles and James Lowen gave a fascinating insight into what it’s been like to run the fund since its inception in 2004, and guests then enjoyed a glass or two of fizz in the iconic BAFTA venue. It was a pleasure to work with JOHCM to bring this event together and arrange some tasty branded treats for guests to take home with them. All round a great evening!
We returned to Harrogate last week for RSMR’s annual conference at Rudding Park. The event featured a combination of insightful presentations and engaging panel discussions from 21 sponsors, all expertly hosted by Dominic O’Connell. In the evening, the atmosphere shifted to a celebratory tone as attendees gathered for a dinner to mark RSMR’s 20th anniversary. The highlight of the evening was a keynote speech by external speaker Shivvy Jervis, who delivered an inspiring address on the fascinating connection between human and synthetic intelligence (AI), covering both innovation and neuroscience in equal measure.
We were delighted to work with Aon for the third year running on their Wealth Insights Series in London. We always enjoy supporting the team with onsite logistics and a bespoke AV solution, and it’s great to see the event grow year on year! Delegates were treated to a jam-packed agenda full of internal Aon speakers and insightful external speakers, including a livestream with Former Senator Rob Portman and Congressman Joe Crowley live from New York on the morning after the US election. It’s always great to incorporate different elements into an agenda, and it was a pleasure to help Aon bring this all together.
Last week we had the pleasure of working with Moore Global to deliver three back-to-back conferences in the beautiful city of Budapest. It was a jam-packed week of conference sessions, sight-seeing walking tours, lunch and a river cruise down the Danube and a gala dinner at the stunning Museum of Fine Arts, and it was great to see delegates attend from all around the world. It was a pleasure to work with Moore Global on these flagship events, and we look forward to partnering with them again for the 2025 conferences in Marrakesh!
After the summer break we have started the new events seasons which kicked off with the RSMR Better Business Virtual Panel on 17 September followed by Capital Ideas LIVE 2024.
We welcomed over 100 delegates at Capital Group’s new headquarters in Paddington on 18 September and transformed the 16th floor into an event location. We were delighted to be joined by Ed Balls and George Osborne on the main stage for a fantastic panel discussion.
Starting with the Select Conference 2024 at the Four Seasons in Hampshire where we received a 5 out of 5 feedback on ‘event organisation’ from delegates, followed by two packed days at the Pan Pacific Hotel for the abrdn Global Investment Forum and the abrdn Client Group Colleague Event. We had more than 250 people attending both abrdn events, a total of 76 speakers, a personalised web app for both days, a lot of video content, on-site editing of the highlights video, whisky tasting and much more. This week showed a pure team effort and we are delighted to work with great people who make all of this happen.
This week we welcomed over 55 delegates to the Four Seasons in Hampshire for the 13th annual Select conference. We had a jam-packed two days full of main platform presentations and boardroom sessions from 11 fund management groups, as well as fascinating keynotes from two external speakers. Delegates also enjoyed plenty of networking opportunities including a welcome BBQ on Monday and all-conference dinner on Tuesday evening. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
We were delighted to support Columbia Threadneedle Investments with the fourth instalment of F&C Live on 6th June. Over 220 delegates joined us at the Nobu Hotel Portman Square in London for an afternoon of insightful presentations and networking. The theme of this year’s event was ‘Smart choices: navigating an age of social change’, and delegates certainly came away with a lot to think about after hearing presentations from award-winning Futurist Shivvy Jervis, BAFTA-award winning Channel 4 News Presenter Matt Frei, and F&C Fund Manager Paul Niven. Overall, it was a great afternoon!
We were delighted to work with Aegon for the second year running on their Bond Talk LIVE conference. The event took place in the heart of the City at the Pan Pacific Hotel, where we welcomed over 50 guests for a day of panel debates, presentations, keynote speeches and breakout out sessions.
Over 130 delegates attended the 12th annual BNY Mellon Investment Management Conference on 21st May, which was once again held at the beautiful Corinthia Hotel in London. Delegates experienced a full day of main platform presentations and interactive fund manager boardroom sessions based around the event theme of “Pivotal Moments”, and the day then ended with a networking drinks reception. Feedback from the attendees was extremely positive with one person saying “Excellent conference as always – very informative and one I would never miss!” and another stating “Everything was brilliant!”. As always it was a pleasure to support BNY Mellon with this event.

We’ve had a busy week at MiP with lots of events taking place simultaneously. We kicked off with the latest instalment in the RSMR Better Business virtual series, which saw 4 sponsors present a North America masterclass. At the same time we decamped to the Four Seasons Hampshire for our annual JIC event where 40 delegates saw thought-provoking external speakers as well as 12 leading fund groups for two days of truly fascinating sessions. Overlapping this, we ran the RBC Brewin Dolphin virtual event, which brings together 14 sponsors to speak to over 300 RBC Brewin Dolphin wealth managers on a range of asset classes. This was broadcast live from our in-house studio using MiP’s proprietary streaming platform. To top it all off, we are also onsite with Aon running AV and live video editing for their UK Insights Series. A fabulous week all round!
