Financial Times Live, the global conferences and events arm of the Financial Times newspaper, gathers pre-eminent public and private sector decision-makers, visionaries and strategists from the world’s most important economies and industries for a wide range of interactive, agenda-setting programmes that combine the power of on-site discussion and networking with the flexibility of live-streamed broadcasting.
 
Chaired by senior journalists from the Financial Times, the world’s leading business newspaper, the summits, conferences and strategic forums organised by Financial Times Live provide audiences attending either in person or remotely with the opportunity to listen to and interact with speakers of the highest calibre in lively and stimulating debates that cover the key issues of our time.   
 
All conference programmes are devised by expert content developers in collaboration with the FT editorial team to ensure the same high quality of debate and analysis -- along with the integrity and accuracy -- that the newspaper is renowned for. Speakers and delegates are drawn from the most senior levels of industry, commerce and government. Highly experienced logistical teams ensure a seamless conference experience for attendees at carefully chosen venues enhanced by cutting-edge technology and design concepts. Many events will be streamed live to meet the demands of a fast-growing online audience.
 
Financial Times Live runs multiple-sponsor, high profile public conferences and also smaller, invitation-only forums and round-tables customised for a single sponsor. Sponsors are drawn from a cross-section of some of the most recognised and forward-thinking firms across the globe. Financial Times Live also holds a small number of elite awards programmes that have become major benchmarks in their field.
 
Financial Times Live has evolved out of FT Global Conferences & Events, which from 1971 organised more than 2,000 high-level events, spanning developed and emerging markets in five continents and a broad series of focus areas including the financial industry and other key sectors such as TMT, energy, pharma/biotechnology, infrastructure/urbanisation, commodities, risk management, innovation and sustainability.
