SALT London Returns to Mayfair with Focus on Geopolitics and Tech

The two-day event, presented by Payward, shifts its gaze toward the structural forces currently reshaping global markets. Programming is set to move beyond traditional asset management, dedicating significant time to the evolution of digital financial markets, the mechanics of tokenization, and the impact of geopolitical trends on private and public capital allocation.

High-profile sessions include a dialogue between SALT Chairman Anthony Scaramucci and former MI6 chief Sir Richard Moore, alongside a media-focused panel featuring Gary Lineker. Political discourse will anchor the event, with the hosts of The Rest Is Politics, including Alastair Campbell and Katty Kay, scheduled to analyze the fallout of the U.S. midterms. Other prominent speakers include former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, UBS Wealth Management CIO Mark Haefele, and J. Chris Giancarlo, former chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. SALT CEO John Darsie noted that the assembly aims to challenge existing perspectives on how technology and macro-level instability are fundamentally altering the financial landscape.
