The event is the second CC Forum to be held this year, following an earlier forum in May. Its founder, Max Studennikoff, said he was delighted to return to London with what he described as an extraordinarily powerful line-up of speakers sharing insights on the most pressing issues facing humanity.

The forum brings together ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, investors, innovators, scientists and policymakers. Its stated purpose is to brainstorm the biggest challenges facing humanity and to foster investment in sustainable solutions, including action on climate change, poverty, inequality and mental health.
