Event Overview

The pandemic has accelerated public relations and communications into the future creating huge challenges and opportunity, and financial communications is no exception. Once characterised as old fashioned, financial communications has moved beyond just managing investor relations and into corporate strategy and multi-layered communications.

Crisis often inspires a re-think on how things are done. In 2008, the global financial crisis gave birth to fintech. But what will the changes be this year and beyond? Join us for a Half-day City and Financial Conference, headlined by Baroness Helena Morrissey DBE and Edward Bonham Carter, as we explore how financial communicators can lead on building a more sustainable, profitable, diverse and customer-centric financial services sector.

Moderated by: Fiona Wilkinson, executive coach, consultant and non-executive director; former chief communications officer, Visa Europe
