The World’s Leading Investment Operations Conference
InvestOps Europe is the leading investment operations conference for the European market. Our event provided a credible platform for our sponsors to position themselves as leaders shaping the future of the investment operations landscape, networking with 200+ COOs and Heads of Operations from the leading Buy Side firms.
In October, we had 500+ attendees join us for 3 days at The Oval, London! The industry came together to network, benchmark , and discuss strategies for the upcoming year. Throughout the three days, we heard from over 100+ speakers across 60 sessions, combined with a mix of interactive roundtables and workshops. Not only this, we also had exclusive networking experiences such as our Oval Cricket Ground Stadium Tour, and a drinks reception hosted on the rooftop terrace with panoramic views over the cricket ground!
