Welcome to our headline sponsor for 2025: Bloomberg Engineering
We're very grateful that Bloomberg have once again take the Headline Sponsorship position for this year's conference.
They'll be back in their prime location in the exhibitor hall showing off their terminals, but also keen to showcase what it's like to work with them. So do drop by and have a chat.
As usual, here's a bit more in their own words:
Bloomberg is building the world's most trusted information network for financial professionals. Our 9,000+ dedicated engineers are advancing and building new systems for the Bloomberg Terminal to solve complex, real-world problems.
C++ is one of our core programming languages. We constantly push the language to its limits because our code must be scalable, reliable, and extremely fast — especially since every microsecond counts in finance. Our C++ experts build everything from low-level libraries and components to some of the world’s most performant financial applications, analytics, and trading systems. They also contribute to the C++ Standards Committee (WG21).

T-Shirt and Dinner sales closing soon!
Due to lead-times we'll need to close sales for T-Shirts and our signature conference dinner event soon:
T-Shirts
Our design competition ran, and we had ... 1 entry! Fortunately it was a good one, so you're not going to want to miss this year's!
But that's exactly what will happen if you don't get your order in by next Monday (as I write this). That's 17th March. So don't delay - get your order in straight away, if you haven't already.
Conference dinner
Every year we hold a gala dinner event on the penultimate evening of the conference. Previously that has been the Friday, but with our "left shift" of the whole schedule by one day it will be Thursday evening this year.
The dinner is a highlight of the conference for many - a great chance to mix with the speakers, who are our guests of honour - we as well as entertainment and good food.
The venue needs the numbers in good time ahead of the event so they can plan and ensure the food is ordered in. So we'll also have to close dinner tickets on Monday 17th March, too!
