#WeAreUKCypriots will be held on Saturday 17th September at Bloomberg’s state-of-the-art European Headquarters, a prestigious City landmark, designed by Foster + Partners.
The event will run from 10am – 2pm, with registration open from 9:15am.

Commenting on the initiative, organising team member Emine Ibrahim said, “
I’m delighted to be involved, and welcome days like this when we can focus on the things we have in common, and believe me, there are a great deal! It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring Cypriots of all backgrounds together.”
Tom Toumazis, Co-Founder and Event Chair, said, “This has been in the making for quite some time and, now that we can bring people together again, we want to use this day to nurture and support the Cypriots of tomorrow; create an environment for networking; and show the upcoming generation the art of the possible.”
Christos Karaolis, President of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK, said “The full line-up of speakers will be announced over the weeks ahead. Trade, investment and people-to-people links between the UK and Cyprus are as important today as ever. I’m excited to see how new ideas that push this forward develop from the day.”
