Bellwether Europe 2013

Bellwether Europe
April 25th 2013
  • The Dorchester, London

 
The Introduction
Four years on and Europe’s Capital Markets are still in a state of prolonged crisis. And economic stagnation no longer sits in Europe alone. What effect will the dramatic slow-down of emerging economies have on the long-term survival of Europe’s capital Markets? Where will the next bubble form and burst? How will start ups and tomorrow’s entrepreneurs spark growth in the Capital Markets industry? Bellwether Europe in 2011 focused on the threats faced by investors and how to manage them; in 2012 conversations optimistically centred on how to identify opportunities in a zero-growth epoch.

In 2013… it will be about survival. 2013. Adapt or Die. Attend Bellwether Europe to better understand your fate.

THIS is our Capital Markets event. Two years ago we focused on the threats faced by investors and how to manage them; this year conversations optimistically centred on how to identify opportunities in a zero-growth epoch. In 2013 it will be about survival. Attend Bellwether Europe to better understand your fate.
Bellwether Europe Summit
After a successful launch in Europe last year, we reconvened our audience for the 2012 Bellwether Summit to discuss how the industry can prosper in a zero-growth decade.
Bellwether Europe
Bellwether Europe, part of our global series of Bellwether events, will provoke debate around the hot issues and provide solutions for how today’s capital market leaders can go about re-purposing, restoring and reinventing the sector and above all, will reawaken their optimism.
