The Biggest Buy Side Fixed Income Trading Conference

Fixed Income Leaders Summit Europe is the biggest buy side fixed income conference. Our event provides a credible platform for our sponsors to position themselves as leaders in the fixed income space, enabling them to get in front of 400+ Heads of Fixed Income Trading and Portfolio Management from Europe’s leading buy side firms.

We had 3 entire days of networking, with a total of 162 speakers and 61 sessions, plus a mix of interactive roundtables and workshops. Not just this, we also had networking experiences from our Cava Lunch Roundtables to our Fixed Income Leaders Summit Fiesta Drinks Party!
