What we do

You’re joining our expert inhouse team which has a 360-degree approach to the design and execution of each event. From content to marketing, to sales and event delivery, events are curated and chaired by the FT’s editors and leading journalists.

At FT Live, we put content and audience engagement at the heart of everything we do, with the power to transform finance, business, politics, society and culture.

We have three core business offerings:

We run events under many different brands.

Core events

Global conferences built around key FT themes and audiences.

FT Live Core events - the FT's premier industry summits and annual awards convene the most senior leaders from business, policy, culture, and society from a variety of sectors. Built upon a long-standing track record of trust and success, delegates regularly return to these events to:

  • Hear from unparalleled unique speakers
  • Amplify brand values through sharing expert insight and thought leadership to the FT’s global audience of senior decision makers
  • Connect and build relationships with some of the biggest names within the industry
  • Meet with a range of senior FT journalists
  • Be part of industry-defining moments

Core events are developed with input from our global editorial teams, align with the key themes that the FT writes about, and attract interest from multiple commercial partners who are keen to amplify their brand and make the right connections.

FT Partner events

Client tailored events providing FT editorial insights at bespoke events for our partners.

FT Live’s Partner Events are bespoke B2B forums that connect clients with the people they really want to meet. The team comprises marketers and project managers who work closely with clients to connect FT audiences with valued and insightful content.

The Partner Events team responds to briefs for in-person morning briefings to larger two-day digital or hybrid conferences. We work together with the client to target specific audiences, acquiring lead generation opportunities, and creating thought leadership content.

We put content and audience engagement at the heart of everything we do.

FT Specialist events
