8.15am / 5.00pm GMT

Baillie Gifford’s Disruption Week returns for 2025. We hope you can join us.

Over four days, from Monday 10 to Thursday 13 November, Baillie Gifford investment managers will discuss the innovative and disruptive companies that excite them most, explaining what gives these firms a long-term competitive edge in turbulent times.

This year’s theme is ‘vision amid volatility’, to be explored across four webinars:

• Emerging markets: doing more with less
• Europe’s next generation of winners
• Private companies: getting ahead of the crowd
• Scaling up in Silicon Valley and beyond

At each 45-minute session, you will have the opportunity to put your questions to the managers. To book your place and join this year's conversations, please register using the form below.
