Events

Future of London runs events and field trips throughout the year to share knowledge, experience and best practice amongst and beyond our cross-sector network. Our events feature expert contributors from the public, private and third sectors, and it’s part of our mission to mix familiar and new voices to stimulate debate and fresh ideas. You’ll find information on public-facing programmes here, along with summaries and links from past events. Registration is required for all FoL events, and members receive advance notice and priority spaces. All materials are free to download, and many are available in hard copy.

On top of the events below, FoL always has a full programme in development. Sign up to our newsletter for previews; for event details or registration, email events@futureoflondon.org.uk.

If you’d like to join our network as a speaker – or want feedback and/or coaching – contact diversity@futureoflondon.org.uk. To show your and your organisation’s commitment to speaker diversity, join the Mayor of London and Future of London and pledge here!
