The countdown is on. The XIV Global Edition of CC Forum, Investment in Sustainable Development, opens in central London on Tuesday 27 October and runs until Friday 30 October 2026. As official media partner of the Forum, BGTC can open the door to a small number of our members and readers: a complimentary place as a Visitor (General Admission Delegate) on the two conference days, Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 October.
Why the places are limited
Registration is in its final stage. The organisers tell us they have received far more requests and proposals than they expected, and that they will not be able to accommodate everyone. So they will choose. Priority goes to people who bring genuine innovation, work with real breakthrough potential and a meaningful impact, and to investors whose calibre, vision and commitment fit the Forum's objectives.
I say this plainly because I don't want anyone to be disappointed: writing to us is a request, not a ticket. The final decision belongs to the organisers. But if you are building something that matters for sustainable development, or you invest in it, this is exactly the room where you should be heard.
What a Visitor place gives you
Both conference days take place at the May Fair Hotel, Stratton Street, in Mayfair. The days are built in short blocks of panels and keynotes, with two parallel tracks on Thursday afternoon. Two of the sessions are run as open debates: whether the world should double down on net-zero investment, and whether ESG is a force for good or a tool of control. Other sessions look at climate timelines, water, artificial intelligence and how family wealth is kept and passed on.
When we checked in early October, a visitor pass for the two days was listed at £399 plus VAT. A complimentary place covers the same two conference days. The evening events - the House of Lords reception on Wednesday, the gala dinner and awards on Thursday, presented by Ludvig Nobel - and the Fem Capital Salon on Friday are separate and are not included.
I attended the March edition as an accredited media partner. Around 300 delegates came from more than 40 countries, and the mix was unusual: family offices and fund managers next to scientists, founders and community leaders. The most useful conversations happened in the breaks, not on stage. If you go, plan for the coffee queue as carefully as for the agenda.
How to ask for a place

We pass the requests to the organisers. They confirm places directly.
Because registration is closing, please write as soon as you can. A short honest note works better than a long one.

Our earlier guide in BGTC Voice explains the full four days, the pitching slots and the costs: CC Forum London and the Fem Capital Salon: Four Days With Capital in the Room. In July we wrote about what was known about the 14th Global Session. On Creativity's UK you can read the preview of the October agenda and speakers and my report on what the March edition revealed about the future of impact capital.
I hope to see some of you in Mayfair.
