In July 2023, we introduced Night Mode on the website. Try it out with the sun/moon icon at the top left. Or change font settings with the ‘A’ to make the site work for you.

This website has been developed to conform to the W3C accessibility guidelines for level AA compliance. We have endeavoured to conform to all the presented guidelines in level AA wherever possible. It is possible to increase (or decrease) the size of all the text on the pages of most websites. You can do this by using the font size controls integrated in your web browser.

Discover the stories behind our programme and enrich your visit with the free Bloomberg Connects app. The app is easily downloaded either before your visit or via our free wifi.
