Dear Stakeholder,

Following our success in North America for many years, we are bringing the leading event for those in the highest end of international finance to London for the third consecutive year, once again showcasing high-profile speakers and our industry’s most topical sessions.

This year’s programme will encompass the full spectrum of issues affecting high-value international finance, including the latest legal, political, regulatory, compliance and tax issues, the detection and prevention of fraud and money laundering, and asset recovery. All with an emphasis on offshore financial centres, or small international financial centres, as many prefer to be called.

The aim of the conference is to show attendees how to ensure that they stay on the right side of the law and reduce their exposure to risk and, if that has already happened, provide a road-map to recovering assets.

As always, we will provide a friendly and professional forum where an expected 150-plus finance industry stakeholders from more than 20 countries and jurisdictions can meet and network with our trusted partners and sponsors in the heart of 18th century Bloomsbury at The Bloomsbury Hotel, just down the road from the British Museum and in the shadow of Centre Point, where the vibrant West End meets the burgeoning East, where Theatre Land meets the City.

If you have any questions, our conference team is happy to assist and can be contacted on +1 (305) 372-6296. We look forward to seeing you in London on 10-11 November 2014.
