p> 2016 is now firmly upon us and I’m sure many of you were given a pocket diary by an elderly relative. But, instead of using it to fix a wonky table, why not use it to jot down this year’s key dates – thoughtfully compiled for you by The Weekender…


1. FLA Annual Dinner - 23rd February 

The Finance & Leasing Association Annual Dinner will see executives from more than 100 companies sit down to enjoy a three-course meal and network. 

This year, guests will be entertained by financial expert Robert Peston and Australian comedian and after dinner speaker Adam Hills. 

The black tie event takes place in the prestigious Grosvenor House and more information can be found here. 
 
2. Finance Professional Conference – 2nd March 

The first ever Finance Professional Conference will see intermediaries from across the country convene at Manchester Central for a day of networking and presentations. 

Open to all finance intermediaries, the event hosts lenders from the worlds of bridging, commercial, development, peer-to-peer and cash flow finance gather under one roof. 

Registration for the event is now open but it’s filling up fast, so make sure you book your place now. 

3. Bridging & Commercial Awards – 9th June

The hottest ticket in town… 

The B&C Awards celebrates the great and the good of the bridging and commercial finance world as they come together for the glamorous event at the Hurlingham Club.

More than 600 guests will be in attendance and there is sure to be another much-anticipated theme to the evening - following last year’s Tales of Arabia.

4. Commercial Finance Expo – 15th June

The NACFB’s Commercial Finance Expo is now in its seventh year and returns to the Pavilion at the NEC in Birmingham.

Last year saw more than 120 lenders and 1500 brokers under the same roof, and the NACFB is already expecting an increase in those numbers. 

If you have an interest in commercial finance make sure you check out the event and book yourself a place. 

5. NACFB Gala Dinner – 3rd November

The NACFB Gala Dinner is always a ‘must-attend’ event as we head towards the end of the year. 

Members of the broking community will gather at the Park Plaza, Westminster for a dinner and awards ceremony that never disappoints. 

It’s an evening with plenty of opportunities to network and catch-up, accompanied by live music and a stand-up comedian.

6. Finance Professional Show – 9th November 

Held at London’s Olympia Central, the FP Show provides attendees with the perfect chance to meet with a whole range of finance professionals. 

It also sees the NACFB hold its AGM and presentations from the industry’s key members.
