Discover how flexible working can drive performance—not compromise it.

In this session we break down the real challenges and opportunities of modern flexibility and show you how to make it work for your business. Attendees will learn how to balance employee freedom with organisational goals, build healthier work–life habits, strengthen team dynamics in flexible settings, and leverage technology to boost productivity rather than fuel digital overload.

Expect fresh insights that challenge conventional thinking and practical tools you can apply immediately to create a more adaptable, future-ready workplace.

Connect with entrepreneurs, startup founders, B2B leaders, and finance professionals from London’s FinTech and startup ecosystem. Co-hosted by GMax Card, Getshop Today, and Tide — three founder-led platforms supporting ambitious businesses. Structured intros, real conversations, and practical value — including Tide consultations, exclusive discounts, and a free GMax Card (£65 value).

Financial institutions continuously modernize core platforms, adopt composable architecture, move to cloud and embed AI; all while navigating regulation and rising customer expectations. With experts from Temenos, Keysight Eggplant and industry analysis, explore the forces reshaping banking, progressive modernisation, quality engineering beyond late-stage testing, and metrics aligned to business and regulatory outcomes. Modernise with agility, governance and evidence-based confidence.

We'll explore why so many AI initiatives fail to scale beyond initial pilots by unpacking three critical failure points- the infrastructure bottlenecks that emerge as AI workloads grow, the hidden costs that catch finance teams off guard, and the cultural resistance that derails even technically sound deployments. Join us for a frank discussion about the real challenges of scaling AI and what it takes to move from experimental success to sustainable enterprise deployment.

Join an informal Asian Street-Food & Evening Drinks event celebrating the incredible flavours of Asia. This this event brings together a range of Asian food and drink vendors, from local restaurants and snack brands to specialty teas, soft drinks, and creative mocktails and cocktails. It’s a great opportunity to taste something new, support growing businesses, and discover some hidden gems which you might want to support.

The focus of the evening is simple: good food and good company, enabling meaningful connections. The event aims to create space for business growth — offering vendors exposure and giving guests the chance to explore partnerships, collaborations, and new opportunities in a relaxed setting with tasty food, delicious drinks, a DJ and dancing to add to the fun.

Spaces are limited, please book your place in advance by contacting Sandra Stamerra and Anushree Moodley.

This introduction course is aimed at those involved in the administration of international trade to ensure an understanding of rules of origin, product classification and item valuation to meet the demands of international trade in both exporting and importing. Understanding origin, tariffs and valuation is essential for correct calculation of taxation and duties, and mistakes leading to non-payment or underpayment are considered a serious matter by HMRC. They also lead to duty reliefs, so getting this right could save you money.
