London: our Signature conference

How many journalists does it take to fill the Royal Albert Hall? The 2018 MaKi event took place at the Imperial College Business School, just down the road from the famous concert hall. As always, the media sessions were filled with editors and journalists from the FT, WSJ, The Economist, Bloomberg, BBC, Forbes, Times of London, The Guardian, Associated Press, The Independent, Times Higher Ed, Quartz, Business Insider and many more.

Many thanks to our sponsors
