Why London?

Organiser | Why London?

London is the natural meeting point for the world’s business networks. It’s a leading city in the global economy and a centre of international trade and finance.

The city continues to nurture some of the finest research and technology developments, while its influence through medical schools, universities and hospitals is second to none.

For decades, England’s capital has been the launch pad for new ideas and trends. It's a creative hub where there is always something to see and do. Hotels, venues, restaurants, and attractions constantly update and improve. This means no matter how many times you visit, London always has something new in store.
