We deliver around 200 events each year. From large-scale networking events, bringing together senior political and business leaders, to small-scale consultations which engage members and stakeholders in our policy development. We also host a series of flagship summits, bringing together experts from within and beyond our membership. 

Notice on Coronavirus

The health and safety of attendees and staff at our events is of paramount importance to us. 

London First will not be holding any physical events over the coming months. We are, though, looking at how we can continue our programme of content through virtual engagements, particularly webinars and podcasts, and we will be sharing that new format with you soon.

Please do stay safe in the meantime. You can find the latest Government advice on coronavirus here.

If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

London First Chair's breakfast with Paul Drechsler CBE

Invitation only
These informal breakfast roundtables provide senior business leaders in membership with the opportunity to give and take on current trends and the key challenges they face in the Capital and the rest of the UK.

Given the new government is led by a Prime Minister we’ve worked with before, the upcoming Mayoral election and the ongoing challenges around skills, housing and transport, these events will be lively and informative. All discussions take place under the Chatham House rule.

Hosted by DLA Piper
