Submissions in all areas of finance, data analytics and accounting are encouraged.

Urbanisation and agricultural intensification have driven unsustainable resource use and ecosystem degradation. At the same time, technological innovation is transforming economies, reshaping how people interact with the environment, and could fundamentally shift how we might deliver a more sustainable, equitable and just future. For instance, the importance of healthy, biodiverse ecosystems for carbon storage, food production, climate resilience, and human wellbeing, is increasingly recognized. Yet, habitat and biodiversity loss continue apace. To what extent, then, might technological innovations offer solutions to improve how we deliver multiple sustainability goals from landscapes that are under pressure from many competing demands. Working across diverse regions, my research centres on applying and integrating quantitative and qualitative research techniques from across the natural and social sciences to understand how to deliver sustainable, viable and equitable solutions to some of the environment and development challenges facing the world today.Industry Keynote Speaker:Mr. Tim Smolcic, Director Tech Sustainability, HSBC, LondonTim Smolcic is a global technology executive and a leading voice in sustainable IT, with over 15 years of experience driving innovation at the intersection of enterprise technology, cloud computing, AI, and environmental impact.Currently serving as Director at HSBC, Tim leads global transformation and strategic initiatives, integrating sustainability as a core design principle for modern enterprise infrastructure.A passionate advocate for responsible technology, Tim is an active partner of the ITU Green Digital Action initiative. His work focuses on embedding sustainability into the digital ecosystem—particularly the development of open-source tools that enable real-time measurement of software-related carbon emissions. His patented carbon tracking framework is now listed on the UN Digital Public Goods Register.Tim brings industry-wide insights from his ongoing research into the measurement and reporting of AI energy consumption. His work identifies critical gaps in current methodologies and reporting frameworks, offering evidence-based recommendations to align AI development with global sustainability goals. Through cross-sector collaboration, Tim is helping define what “green AI” means in practice—and where the industry must evolve to close the disconnect between innovation and environmental accountability.Programme (TBC)A copy of the programme is also available here (TBC) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/6th-finance-and-accounting-2026-annual-research-symposium/100001914660915339 - **Event Categories**: business, workshops, it, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 4 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2F6th-finance-and-accounting-2026-annual-research-symposium-registration-1914660915339 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: University of Westminster (Marylebone Campus) - **lat**: 51.52235229999999 - **long**: -0.1549735 - **full address**: University of Westminster (Marylebone Campus), 35 Marylebone Road, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Westminster Business School (https://allevents.in/org/westminster-business-school/24933162) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/23d1535b6905111f923e9d801209ad8357fabe5d18148bdd86103f775dab4b3d-rimg-w1200-h801-dcdcdeec-gmir.jpg?v=1763333500 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/32cd1581663e33464a4b1bf84dcb44865be0b9792a7f9da5f65f3cd86b27012a-rimg-w400-h400-dcdcdeed-gmir.jpg?v=1763333500 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 17 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 am (+01:00) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** University of Westminster (Marylebone Campus), 35 Marylebone Road, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Westminster Business School - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** business, workshops, it, artificial-intelligence - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about 6th Finance and Accounting 2026 Annual Research Symposium ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "6th Finance and Accounting 2026 Annual Research Symposium", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/23d1535b6905111f923e9d801209ad8357fabe5d18148bdd86103f775dab4b3d-rimg-w1200-h801-dcdcdeec-gmir.jpg?v=1763333500", "startDate": "2026-06-17T09:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-06-18T18:00:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/6th-finance-and-accounting-2026-annual-research-symposium/100001914660915339", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "University of Westminster (Marylebone Campus)", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "35 Marylebone Road", "postalCode": "NW1 5LS", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.52235229999999", "longitude": "-0.1549735" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "6th Finance and Accounting 2026 Annual Research Symposium", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2025-11-15", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-18T18:00:00+01:00", "validFrom": "2025-11-15", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/6th-finance-and-accounting-2026-annual-research-symposium/100001914660915339" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2025-11-15", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2025-11-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/6th-finance-and-accounting-2026-annual-research-symposium/100001914660915339", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Westminster Business School", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/westminster-business-school/24933162", "description": "Based in the heart of the capital’s political, media and financial services, Westminster Business School (WBS) has excellent industry links and global partnerships.
