The Host City: London
As one of the world’s leading financial centres and top travel destinations, London offers the perfect setting for this prestigious international event. Combining historic charm with modern sophistication, the city promises all participants an unforgettable experience — both during the conference and at the social events.
The conference will take place at One Moorgate Place, located in the heart of the City of London — just moments from the Bank of England, The Gherkin, and The Shard. This Grade II listed building perfectly blends heritage with state-of-the-art facilities, making it an exceptional venue for our conference. Conveniently situated between Liverpool Street, Bank, and Moorgate stations, it’s also only eight minutes from London City Airport.
To complement the formal programme, delegates will enjoy two memorable evening events:
Friday, 9 October: A Welcome Cocktail Reception at the prestigious National Liberal Club, one of the finest private members’ clubs in the UK. Set in a Renaissance-style grand clubhouse steeped in political history, it offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain’s past.
Saturday, 10 October: The IFTA Gala Dinner at Plaisterers’ Hall, one of London’s most elegant livery halls. Guests will enjoy a networking reception, a three-course dinner, and live entertainment from a Beatles tribute band — a fitting finale to a truly British experience.
