Lse Su Emerging Markets Forum

The LSE SU Emerging Markets Forum was created with a vision to inspire and expand students' understanding of the role of emerging markets in our world.

Founded in 2009, the LSE SU Emerging Markets Forum was created with a vision to inspire and expand students' participation in and understanding of emerging markets' strengthening role in our world.

Attracting top speakers from around the world, including preeminent academics, executives, investors and global leaders, the Emerging Markets Forum remains the largest student-organised emerging markets conference in the world. We continue to stick to our core philosophy of covering a wide range of topical themes, and encourage an open and thorough discussion on such issues.
The LSE SU Emerging Markets Forum is a non-profit student-run conference organised by the LSE SU Emerging Markets Society, and is proudly sponsored by BTG Pactual, Credit Suisse, Rio Tinto, Taylor Wessing and the LSE Annual Fund.

This year, exciting new topics under discussion will include Frontier Markets, Fast- Moving Consumer Goods, Oil & Gas, Fashion Retailing and the Private Equity sector. Furthermore, we are pleased to introduce the Workshop concept, which will provide a rare opportunity for attendees to work through real-life case-studies with successful entrepreneurs who will share their own experiences running a business in emerging markets.

Whether you find yourself in discussion with a Chinese academic, the Head of the Brazilian Central Bank, a Nigerian CEO, or a South African Rhodes Scholar, the Forum provides strong opportunities for students to interact with our speakers, sponsors and attendees.

We actively encourage networking throughout the day and during our exclusive lunch and evening events; and previous attendees have vastly benefited from the unique friendships and relationships built through the Forum.
