We're back at the AltFi Europe Summit on the 23rd of February and if last year is anything to go by, the event will be bigger with more investors, journalists and commentators than before. We want to invite our investors to meet us in person and to get a flavour of the huge growth happening in this sector, so here is how AltFi is promoting their event:

At AltFi.com we believe that 2015 will prove to be a crucial year for the alternative finance space – and the AltFi Europe Summit will explore in detail what change is needed and how the key platforms need to react in order to accelerate growth in the next 24 months.
The All Day event will be targeted at senior industry leaders, as well as investors looking to explore this new asset class. Amongst the topics under discussion, we’ll focus on how five key building blocks will be put in place which help to accelerate growth in 2015 and beyond:
The emergence of tax wrappers such as ISAs and SIPPs dedicated to the Alternative Finance space: how will these be structured and marketed and how the platforms will need to aggressively build their marketing brands
Building a political consensus around alternative funding for business: with the General Election just around the corner, we’ll explore with all the major national parties how they intend to help the sector expand and mature. We’re hoping to feature an exclusive-to-the-industry panel of key party and government figures outlining the next steps in regulatory reform
Facilitating institutional access: using technology and new services & products to enable institutional money to flood into the space
Crowdfunding 2.0: how the growth of mini-bonds, new share classes, secondary markets and fund-based provision will massively boost crowdfunding equity in the UK
Last but by no means least The Information Revolution: how to measure investment and business-critical data and explain it to a wider audience, with a particular focus on enabling investors to understand the risk.
