City A.M., the influential London-based free financial newspaper and website, has announced the full line-up for its Active Trader event next month. The first City A.M. Active Trader event was held last year, bringing together the leading lights of the trading, investing, and forex industries for a day of presentations, debates, and networking.
The event will take place across two floors of the Grange Hotel Tower Bridge, one of the most modern and state-of-the-art conference venues in London, on Friday June 21st.

At midday, there will be two panel discussions running simultaneously across the two rooms. In the downstairs conference room, there will be a debate on the topic of Traders vs Politicians moderated by Karen Tso, featuring Paul Staines (AKA Guido Fawkes), David Bulk (Panmure Gordon), and Mike Smithson (politicalbetting.com). Upstairs, there will be a Masterclass in Social Trading with Tradable’s Jannick Malling, eToro’s CEO and Founder Yoni Assai, iG’s David Jones, and Dinis Guarda publisher of tradersdna.com and .
