Elevating Business Excellence: CIMA's Success at London's Highest Event Space

When The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) sought to host their "Innovating the Future" event, they needed more than just venue hire in the City of London - they needed a space that would elevate their gathering to extraordinary heights. With 200 senior finance professionals coming together to explore the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this was a moment to inspire industry leaders and foster meaningful connections.
Here's how Horizon 22's unbeatable location and hallmark excellence helped CIMA create an event that was both effortless and extraordinary.
Reaching New Heights: The Event Vision
CIMA's vision was ambitious yet clear: unite 200 senior finance professionals for an evening that seamlessly blended thought-provoking content with premium networking opportunities. The programme featured an insightful panel discussion and keynote presentation by Henrik von Scheel, examining how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping the finance landscape.
The event's thoughtful structure began with focused panel discussions, before ascending to relaxed networking during the drinks reception. This dual approach allowed guests to absorb strategic insights whilst enjoying the breath-taking panorama of London's skyline, demonstrating why Horizon 22 stands out among event venues in the City of London for creating moments that feel both purposeful and extraordinary.


Cutting-Edge Technology, Seamless Delivery
At Horizon 22, operational excellence is never left to chance. CIMA required crystal-clear audio and visuals for their panel discussion, and our cutting-edge tech infrastructure delivered with precision. Among corporate event venues in Bishopsgate, our 6.6m HD LED wall provided the perfect backdrop for Henrik von Scheel's presentation, whilst our professional audio systems ensured every insight reached every guest clearly.
The hallmark of truly exceptional service? Everything was ready to perform flawlessly, with no external suppliers needed, allowing CIMA to focus entirely on their content and guests.
Privacy That Elevates Conversation
When strategic financial insights and confidential business matters are on the agenda, absolute discretion becomes essential. CIMA's discussions required a space where industry leaders could speak openly, and Horizon 22's exclusive Level 58 environment provided exactly that sanctuary.
254 metres above the city, away from interruptions and compromise, attendees engaged in the kind of frank, valuable conversations that drive real business transformation.


A Space That Ascends With Your Vision
The true beauty of Horizon 22 lies in its adaptability to your event's natural flow. For CIMA's formal panel discussions, the space facilitated focused, seated engagement for all 200 guests. As the evening transitioned to networking, the same environment became the perfect stage for meaningful connections, showcasing why discerning organisers choose from the finest large venues near Bishopsgate.
Our open design and those iconic panoramic London views created natural conversation starters, helping guests seamlessly move from structured content to relaxed networking, all whilst experiencing the unbeatable location that defines our space.

CIMA's "Innovating the Future" event achieved exactly what exceptional events should: it elevated both content and experience to create lasting impact.
