2nd Global Capital Conference and Exhibition

22 February 2008
Date Commences:  01 October 2008
Date ends:  02 October 2008

The Global Capital Conference and Exhibition brings together the providers of capital with today's and tomorrow's global commodities producers: it takes place at the heart of the world's financial system, in modern and historic London. Attending the event will allow project promoters to access the largest capital markets in the world, as well as making valuable contacts with investors and venture capitalists.


At the same time, providers of capital, financial services and insurance will be able to find business partners in the red-hot world of global commodities, in the energy, minerals and metals sectors. Consultants, analysts, bankers, financiers, lawyers and accountants will all find the event of great interest.
This event is unique: Miss it and miss out!

The event takes place at the very heart of the world's most vibrant capital market: hundreds of billions of pounds, euros and dollars pass through the City of London every month. Venture capital and financial companies based in London are actively seeking investment projects throughout the world, in every conceivable industry.

Global Capital concentrates on the energy, minerals and metals sectors: high value, highly capital-intensive businesses which require large-scale funding. Both sides of the equation are looking for new partners and a good deal:

The full two-day conference programme is provided by world-class speakers from global companies, and will bring you up-to-date with the latest developments in coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy, power transmission, cement, building materials, shipping and transport, aluminium, iron & steel, non-ferrous minerals, diamonds, gold, platinum group metals, copper, zinc, nickel, uranium, raising finance and project services.

Networking opportunities abound at the Global Capital Conference: As well as the buzzing exhibition areas, the networking zone, cocktail parties and the Gala Dinner will provide ample chances to make new valuable contacts.

With commodity prices at an all-time high, and London providing capital and financial services to the global commodity industries (with well-over 600 commodity companies listed in London alone), the Global Capital Conference and Exhibition in London is the place to meet!
