Confirmed so far
Names on the record, and exactly what they are.
We publish a name only once it is agreed, and we say which kind of commitment it is. Speakers are speakers, partners are partners, and neither is presented as an attendee.

The room
101 senior seats, weighted to the capital side.
b2bv2v26 assembles the room by category rather than selling it by ticket. Seniority is the entry condition, so the person opposite you can decide rather than report back. The cap of 101 is a quality mechanism, not a scarcity one: it is the largest room in which one conversation still reaches everybody.
Investors and funds
Large commercial real estate investors and the funds behind them, at the level that sets allocation. This is where the room is deliberately weighted, and the capital side sits on the panel as well as in the audience: Canvas III, Value, is theirs.
Lenders and financing banks
Debt and structured finance leaders from the banks that fund European commercial real estate, on the record about what is financeable now and on what terms.
Developers
The people who take a scheme from land to delivery, including the developers of the towers under discussion in Canvas II, the SkyScraper Dialogue.
Architects and operators
Practice leaders and the operators who run the buildings afterwards. They open the evening in Canvas I, Vision, on what cities are being asked to become.
One evening, 8 September 2026, the eve of PTC week, at The Skyline, the rooftop room at Tower Suites by Blue Orchid in the City of London. Every guest receives the London Capital Briefing, written after the evening. Places and prices are on the tickets page.
The Programme
Three canvases, and one of them is the capital.
The evening follows a single idea, how vision becomes built value, across three panels and a keynote. Canvas III, Value, is the capital panel: LPs, banks and investors, talking about what they will actually fund.
Canvas I · Vision
Futurists and leading architects on what cities are being asked to become. Moderated by Peter Murray OBE.
Canvas II · SkyScraper Dialogue
The panel we are building: developers behind The Shard, the Burj Khalifa and a third skyline, on what it took to get those towers out of the ground. Speaker invitations are out; the roster is published as panel seats confirm.
Canvas III · Value
The capital side of the room on the panel rather than in the audience: LPs, banks and investors, on what is financeable now and on what terms.
The art keynote
Art as an asset class, set between the canvases. The one part of the evening that is not about buildings, and the reason the room stays in its seat.
The neighbourhood
The Tower, Tower Bridge and The Shard, the landmarks the room sits among.
The Series
The skyline changes with every edition. The ambition doesn't.
Each edition adopts a building that changed its city's ambition, and gathers beneath it the people writing the next chapter.
