The Soho Place Theatre in London was grand and spectacular. But this was not the Oscars, it was the Global Excel Summit. People travelled from all over the world to learn, exchange ideas, and socialise.

Had an amazing time in London. It’s not every day that you get to connect with such inspiring individuals who are so passionate and driven. The energy, the conversations, and the shared experiences made it truly unforgettable. Thank you — looking forward to 2026!

Meeting some of the biggest names in financial modelling and data analytics, hearing their insights firsthand, and learning modern practices that can elevate the way we build models was truly inspiring.

Global Excel Summit means you can pick one person in the room, at random, and start babbling about Excel - without the risk of being pepper sprayed. How cool is that?!

It was an amazing experience which helped me improve my finance & Excel skills and look at things in a different way.

The venue was really great, and all the MVPs presenting a theme was a good idea. Having MVPs talk about different aspects of the same subject gave us multiple views of it.
