City Week 2026

18 May, 2026

We are delighted to be supporting City & Financial Global’s 16th Annual edition of City Week.

Held in-person over two days in London from 18-19 May, as well as being live-streamed around the world, this year’s edition will take place at a time when the financial services are undergoing profound change. Geopolitics are reshaping trade and investment flows. This year’s theme is Navigating Growth, Innovation and Resilience in a Multi-Polar World. Technology, especially AI, is transforming business models. Regulatory regimes are having to pivot to a pro-growth stance in the face of a widespread cost of living crisis. The role of the financial services industry in combating climate change is under challenge. Crypto, digital assets and blockchain have finally achieved acceptance in mainstream finance. No financial institution can afford to stand still in the face of such change.

Organised in partnership with the UK Government, the City of London Corporation, TheCityUK and UK Finance, this year’s edition will include four half day summits, as per below.

1 Day 1 AM: The London Global Financial Centre Summit
1 Day 1 PM: The Future of Capital Markets Summit
2 Day 2 AM: The Future of Digital Assets Summit
2 Day 2 PM: The AI in Financial Services Summit

We are happy to announce that on 19 May, Lawrence Wintermeyer, Chairman of Global Digital Finance, will deliver the Opening Remarks, setting the stage for a day focused on the evolving role of digital assets within the broader financial ecosystem.
