Important Information on List Scam

At the Financial Times, the trust and privacy of our delegates is of the utmost importance. We are aware that fraudulent organisations and individuals regularly claim to sell access to FT event delegate lists. We want to make it absolutely clear: the Financial Times does not sell, rent, or share delegate lists with unrelated third-party suppliers.

Delegate information is only ever shared where necessary in connection with an event, for example with official sponsors or suppliers supporting the delivery of that event, or where delegates have provided consent or another lawful basis applies under applicable data protection law.

These offers are scams. The companies making these claims are in no way affiliated with the Financial Times or our events. Unfortunately, this type of activity is common across the events industry, and many organisers are targeted in a similar way.

If you receive an unsolicited email, phone call, or message from someone offering to sell our delegate lists, we strongly advise you to ignore the communication. Do not click on any links, open attachments, or share your personal details.

To help you identify genuine FT communications: all official correspondence about our events will come from an @ft.com email address, Swapcard or through our official event platforms. If you are ever uncertain about the authenticity of a message, please contact our events team directly at customerservices@fie.ft.com and we will be happy to advise.

We take the protection of our delegates’ data seriously and continue to monitor and act against fraudulent activity of this nature. Thank you for your vigilance and for helping us protect the integrity of our events.
