Events

NEDs in FS is all about connecting. We’re here to bring together Non-Executive Directors and Chairs to share experiences and build networks which help make financial services better. Whether it’s purely social, an opportunity for learning or a roundtable discussion, our events provide a place to compare notes, make connections and have fun. Our events are also a way to canvas and represent views from the boards of the UK’s Financial Services industry to share with policy makers.

Upcoming events are listed below. Get in touch if you’re interested in attending or would like to suggest something new.
