About The Altos 

Following three successful years in London, and a debut in Singapore this September, we were delighted to bring The Altos back to London for the fourth year running.

This event showcased thought leadership and insights from industry experts. We then honoured The Altos winners in a special ceremony, ended the evening with drinks and networking reception — completed with our signature AltoVita cocktails!
