iLA partners with Roma to launch Finance Fest in Essex

Finance Fest, an event aiming to mix the atmosphere of a music festival with the networking opportunities of the finance and property sector, has been launched by Anastasia Ttofis, co-founder and CEO of iLA. 

Ttofis said: “Music festivals just bring people together. I love them. There’s such an incredible sense of community and I thought — why not do that for the property finance industry too? 

“It’s what we all need. And I know so many other people in the industry will love this sort of event.”

The first Finance Fest will take place on 14th May 2026 in Essex. 

Organisers have not revealed the location yet, but have said the venue will be a key part of the event. 

Attendees will be able to choose between day tickets and VIP glamping packages, which include luxury tipi accommodation.

The event is being co-hosted with Roma. 

Charlotte Rutter of Roma said: “We loved this idea and couldn’t not get behind it from the get‑go. 

“The industry needs more fun and connection — something we’re here for — and Finance Fest is exactly the kind of energy we want to champion.”
