How QuantQuorum’s business model works

What QuantQuorum is (and isn’t)

QuantQuorum operates as an event organiser and a provider of professional services. We are not a bank, not an investment firm, and we do not carry out regulated activities reserved for authorised financial intermediaries. Information shared during the summit is for professional discussion and educational purposes only.

When QuantQuorum provides advisory or audit services, it does so as an independent consultant, under separate engagements that are distinct from event tickets. Those engagements define scope, responsibilities, fees, and the permitted use of any analysis delivered.

Revenue sources

In short, our primary revenue lines are:

• Ticket sales for the summit (Day, Full Summit, Boardroom Pass, and variants).
• Sponsorships and partnerships with organisations aligned with the summit audience.
• Advisory services across fintech, payments, treasury, and capital structure.
• Targeted audit services on processes, partnerships, or finance initiatives.

We do not charge commissions on commercial deals or transactions that participants may agree between themselves after the summit, except where an explicit written exception is agreed in advance and disclosed to the relevant parties.

Ticket revenue

The first revenue stream comes from summit tickets. Passes vary by duration (single day vs full summit), number of attendees included (individual vs company team), and add-ons (boardroom access, operational reports, personalised agenda support).

All commercial terms are stated in the order form or participation agreement, including clear details on:

• unit price and any group discounts;
• applicable taxes and VAT (if relevant);
• payment methods and deadlines;
• refund terms and cancellation fees.

Sponsorships and partnerships

The second stream comes from sponsorships and partnerships with banks, fintechs, technology providers, and other organisations aligned with the summit themes. These agreements may include brand visibility on-site, participation in selected content formats, panel participation, or dedicated spaces.

To reduce potential conflicts, QuantQuorum:

• keeps sponsorship contracts separate from editorial programme decisions;
• does not sell keynote slots as simple advertising inventory;
• clearly labels sponsored content where applicable;
• retains the right to reject content that isn’t aligned with the audience.

Advisory services

Some organisations choose to continue work initiated at the summit through an advisory engagement. In these cases, QuantQuorum may provide:

• support when assessing partnerships with fintechs and payments providers;
• analysis of pricing models, revenue-sharing structures, and unit economics;
• assistance with RFP design and vendor selection.

These services are billed on a fixed-fee or project basis, with a defined scope, clear timelines, and specific deliverables. Fees are tied to the complexity of the work—not to the client’s investment decisions.

Audit services

A further stream covers targeted audits across treasury, capital structure, liquidity policies, debt usage, and bank relationship management. In this area QuantQuorum:

• does not manage portfolios or execute trades in financial instruments;
• provides analysis and recommendations, while decisions remain with the client;
• can collaborate, where requested, with the client’s external legal and tax advisers.

Here too, compensation is independent of the outcome of any investment decision and does not include commissions, kickbacks, or product-linked incentives.

No success fees on third-party deals

If two or more attendees enter into commercial agreements or financial transactions with each other during or after the summit, QuantQuorum does not take a fee on those transactions—unless a different arrangement is explicitly agreed in writing and signed by all relevant parties. This helps reduce bias in participant selection and in how networking is facilitated.

Key cost categories

The main cost categories typically include:

• venue hire and logistics (build, catering, security);
• editorial curation, moderation, and content preparation;
• technology for recording, streaming, badges, and access management;
• operations staff, administration, and attendee support;
• targeted communications to a professional audience.

A structured portion of revenue is allocated to cover these items; the remainder contributes to operating margin used for product development, new summit editions, and expanded professional services.

Operational and market risks

Like any live-event initiative, the model carries market risks (demand swings, macroeconomic shifts) and operational risks (unexpected costs, venue or speaker availability).

QuantQuorum manages these risks through:

• staged booking and payment policies with progressive deadlines;
• contract clauses addressing cancellations and rescheduling;
• event-specific insurance where appropriate;
• ongoing budget control and conservative sales scenarios.

Compliance, privacy, and financial crime prevention

While QuantQuorum is not a regulated financial intermediary, we operate in an ecosystem that includes banks, funds, and listed companies. We therefore implement internal procedures inspired by established compliance best practices, including:

• personal data handling aligned with our Privacy policy;
• careful treatment of confidential information shared in sessions;
• pre-screening of partners to reduce reputational risk;
• respect for applicable UK requirements related to anti-money laundering and financial crime prevention, where relevant.

For meetings involving particularly sensitive information, separate confidentiality agreements (NDAs) may be used between participants, with QuantQuorum’s formal role varying depending on the specific case.

Editorial independence and conflicts of interest

Editorial independence is a core pillar of the business model:

• topic selection is guided by a committee that includes voices from banks, corporates, fintechs, and advisers;
• sponsors may suggest ideas, but do not control editorial direction or key messages;
• any sponsor-promoted content is clearly identified as such;
• speakers disclose material interests related to the cases they discuss.

Where a potential conflict cannot be adequately managed, QuantQuorum may adjust the programme or decline specific interventions or partnerships.

Keeping the model up to date

The business model may evolve over time—for example by adding new revenue lines (on-demand content, focused micro-forums, membership) or by adjusting pricing and participation terms. Any material changes will be communicated clearly and reflected in the relevant legal documentation.

The most current version of the model is reflected, with priority, in our contracts, Terms & Conditions, and the policies published on this site. If there is any inconsistency between this page and the contractual documentation, the contractual documentation prevails.
