Prop trading has become the dominant trend in the trading industry this year. At major expos like iFX Dubai & Limassol, it has been the main topic on everyone’s agenda. More and more brokers are moving into the space, launching their own branded prop offerings to meet trader demand for funded accounts and alternative models. ThinkMarkets introduced ThinkCapital, IC Markets launched ICFunded, and OANDA now offers OANDA Prop Trader just to name a few. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore this shift as the boundaries between brokers and prop firms continue to blur.
Now, for the first time, London will host a dedicated event for the Prop industry: The London Prop Trading Expo. On 27th September 2025, the LPTE will bring together traders, prop firm owners, media and influencers at the Grand Connaught Rooms for a full day of networking and insights.
Why This Expo Matters
The prop trading industry has expanded significantly in recent years. New firms continue to enter the market, driven by scalable technology solutions, growing trader demand and alternative funding models that differ from traditional brokerage offerings.
Until now, there has not been a dedicated B2C event focused solely on this space. LPTE aims to fill that gap by creating a platform where:
- Traders can meet the firms they trade with and gain direct insights into their operations.
- Firms can engage face-to-face with traders and partners, presenting their services beyond digital channels.
- Educators and technology providers can share perspectives on risk management, trading platforms, and scaling strategies.
Key Highlights of the Event
The London Prop Trading Expo offers more than a typical exhibition. Its programme combines practical learning, interactive competitions, and valuable networking opportunities for traders and firms.
The event will feature live trading competitions, giving attendees a chance to test their skills under real-time pressure.
The day concludes with the LPTE Awards 2025, recognising outstanding traders, firms, and educators who drive innovation and high standards within the industry.
Alongside the competitions, the Traders University Zone will host education sessions for all experience levels. From trading psychology and risk management to advanced strategies and market trends, these sessions are designed to provide practical insights traders can use immediately.
Networking is another key focus of the expo. The Traders Café offers a relaxed space for informal chats, while working lunch sessions provide structured opportunities to engage directly with industry professionals. Additional networking zones throughout the venue will help traders, firm owners, educators, and technology providers connect, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations.

Can I Still Exhibit With My Prop Firm?
If you’re considering exhibiting at the London Prop Trading Expo 2025, there are still opportunities available. Like most industry expos, LPTE offers a range of exhibitor and sponsorship packages, each designed to suit different budgets and branding goals.
From smaller stands ideal for firms seeking a simple presence, to larger booths and headline sponsorships that maximise exposure, the packages vary in both visibility and included benefits. Options typically cover branding in event materials, access to speaking slots or panel discussions, digital promotion before the event, and opportunities to engage directly with traders and other industry professionals on the day.
