Best Prop Firm Expo 2026: Prop Trading Expo vs Prop Firm Expo, Ranked

Both are held in London and both are built only for prop trading. The rest of this guide covers what sets them apart, plus the broader trading expos where prop firms appear as one exhibitor among many.

Our pick for the best prop firm expo is the Prop Trading Expo. Here is the case in plain terms.

It came first. The Prop Trading Expo ran the first event built only for prop trading, in London on 27 September 2025, nine months before the Prop Firm Expo held its first event. Industry title TradeInformer covered that 2025 event as the first of its kind, so the claim does not rest on the organiser alone.

It is the only international series. The 2026 and 2027 run covers London, Miami and Dubai. Every other dedicated prop event is a single city.

It is the industry and B2B event, not just a retail day out. The floor brings together white-label tech providers like FPFX and PropAccount, payment providers, and the founders and operators who actually build prop firms, alongside traders. If you run a firm or plan to start one, this is where the supply chain and the deals are, and our prop firm B2B directory tracks the same vendors year round.

You can still get in. The London dates on 23 to 24 October 2026 are open, and a Trader Pass is US$12, one of the cheapest passes in the space. The Prop Firm Expo's only event has already been and gone, with no new date announced, so the Prop Trading Expo is the only dedicated prop expo you can actually attend right now.

First, multi-city, deep on the B2B side, and still bookable. That combination is why the Prop Trading Expo is the best prop firm expo to attend in 2026.

We used four tests. First, is the whole event built for prop trading, or is prop one track inside a wider forex show. Second, how established is it, judged by its first date, number of editions and cities. Third, scale and named speakers. Fourth, access, meaning can you still buy a ticket.

We left out the broad online trading expos where prop firms share the floor with brokers, payment providers and affiliates. Those are useful, and we cover them lower down, but they are not prop expos. We also left out events that were announced but not yet confirmed.

The Prop Trading Expo gets the top spot for one reason that holds up: it was first. Its London event on 27 September 2025 was the first expo built only for prop trading, and industry title TradeInformer covered it as the first of its kind, describing a room full of firms and traders that felt optimistic about the sector.

It is also the only series that travels. After London in 2025, the 2026 run expands to two full days at Old Billingsgate on the Thames, with Miami and Dubai legs planned for 2027. The 2025 headline sponsor was PropAccount, powered by FPFX Tech, with QT Funded as platinum sponsor, so the event leans toward firm technology and toward people looking to start or scale a prop firm as well as traders.

For 2026, the practical edge is simple. Tickets for the October dates are still open, while the rival June event has already been and gone with nothing new scheduled. If you want to attend a dedicated prop expo in the second half of 2026, this is the one you can get into. If you run or plan to run a firm, compare the tech-side names here against our best A-book prop firms and most reputable prop firms guides before you go.

Best for: Operators, founders and B2B visitors who want the industry side of prop trading, plus traders who want a cheap, prop-only event they can still attend, in London this October then Miami and Dubai in 2027.

The Prop Firm Expo is the louder event, and it earns second place on scale, not on age. It launched on 27 June 2026 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster, run by the review platform Prop Firm Match and hosted on the main stage by Riz Iqbal and the Words of Rizdom team.

The draw is the names. The speaker list ran past 50 and included Kathy Lien and Austin Silver, and the floor held more than 40 exhibitors, among them FundingPips, Apex Trader Funding, Alpha Capital Group and Tradeify. The first event sold out, which shows strong retail demand. If you are weighing up firms you saw on the floor, our prop firm guides break down their rules and payouts.

Best for: There is nothing to book right now. Keep an eye on the organiser if you want the biggest educator names and the busiest floor at a future edition.

Prop firms have exhibited at broad trading shows for years, long before either event above existed. These are not prop expos, but they matter if you want to meet brokers, payment providers and tech vendors in the same trip.

iFX EXPO

The longest-running of the group, with more than a decade of events across the online trading industry. Prop firms appear as one group among brokers, introducing brokers, affiliates, fintechs and payment providers. Good for operators and B2B deals, not for prop-only content.

ProFX Summit

A broker and prop event that gathers firms, payment providers and platform vendors, often in Dubai. Again useful for the business side of the industry rather than a pure trader day out.

If you only care about prop trading, the two dedicated expos above are the pick. If you are building a firm and want the wider supply chain in one room, add one of these.
