The Islamic finance industry’s longest running and leading European event will again be held in London, at Mansion House under the patronage of the Lord Mayor of London and fully supported by Her Majesty’s Government, The City UK and The City of London, among others. Quite simply, the annual IFN UK Forum is the most significant day for Islamic finance in Europe, attracting regulators and the industry elite from around the world in possibly the most historic and stunning venues available.

Now in its 14th year, tis event will continue to uphold itself as a pillar of exchange of information, strategy, and growth in the Islamic finance sector for the UK, Europe and beyond through unparalleled expert panel discussions, private networking, and exclusive dialogue sessions.

The UK’s expected second sovereign Sukuk and departure from the European Community will be key as will the enormous investment opportunities for Europe’s vast investment community in the recovery of the global economy.

At REDmoney, 2020 taught us much about the state of the events business. What works, what doesn’t and how to continue delivering unparalleled programs to our global audience.

It’s a fundamental element of our business going forward, and we will continue to adapt to ensure we remain relevant and our events remain the industry’s best.

The global appetite and requirements for converging has shifted and now more than ever, we are strategically planning our events to adapt to these changes in the face of disruption without compromising on the quality of knowledge transfer and outreach.

Technological advancements have given rise to exciting opportunities in developing new formats that allows unlimited real time interaction remotely.

Moving forward, we will deliver a blend of physical and online events, ensuring the best of both worlds. Physical interaction is important to many, whilst travel and time away from the office isn’t always necessary to reach new markets.

For 2021, through careful research and planning, we have curated bespoke events online and offline with your interest in mind.
