 Founder and host Adrienne Lawler sayid: “This event presents a rare opportunity to interact directly with fund owners and pivotal leaders, who are at the centre of creating policy around what will be the emerging trends of the near future; rather than just waiting to read about these trends after they’ve been embraced by competitors and colleagues.

“We will also be providing investors with rare intelligence on the future of the asset market as well as a preview of the future for ESG.
“We are looking forward to welcoming our international delegates from the comfort of their homes or offices, during this ‘new normal’. We are proud to say that by taking the event online this year, we will be having a positive effect on the environment rather than just bringing people together to speak about it. This format will probably become the norm for future expos!”
The Bank of England have openly discussed the potential of a launching a digital currency earlier this year following developments from APAC nations China and Japan.
