FundingPips Founder and CEO Khaled Ayesh has suggested that the company may be moving away from participating in third-party industry expos, indicating a possible shift toward hosting its own branded events in the future.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) following Prop Firm Expo London 2026, Khaled wrote:
“This year is the last year I’m doing expos,
AdvertisementBetter do our own events.”
The brief statement has sparked discussion within the proprietary trading community, with many traders interpreting it as a sign that FundingPips could begin organizing independent conferences, trader meetups, or educational events instead of participating in existing industry exhibitions.
A Potential Strategic Shift
Although Khaled did not provide additional details, the comment comes just days after FundingPips served as the Headline Sponsor of Prop Firm Expo London 2026, one of the largest gatherings for proprietary trading firms, brokers, technology providers, and retail traders.
FundingPips had a prominent presence at the event, welcoming attendees at Booth 24 inside the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster, London. The company used the exhibition to showcase its funded trading programs, connect with traders, and strengthen relationships within the industry.
What Could This Mean?
If Khaled’s statement reflects FundingPips’ long-term strategy, the company could follow the path of other major fintech and trading brands by hosting exclusive events tailored specifically to its community.
Potential benefits of organizing its own events include:
- Greater control over the event experience.
- Direct engagement with FundingPips traders and partners.
- Opportunities to launch new products and services.
- Dedicated educational workshops and trading sessions.
- Stronger community building around the FundingPips brand.
At this stage, however, FundingPips has not officially announced any standalone conferences or provided a timeline for such events.
Growing Presence in the Prop Trading Industry
Founded in 2022, FundingPips has grown into one of the world’s most recognized proprietary trading firms. The company offers multiple funding programs and supports traders through platforms including MT5, cTrader, and Match-Trader. It has also become one of the most visible brands in the prop trading industry through sponsorships, partnerships, and community engagement.
Community Awaits Further Details
For now, Khaled’s post remains a personal statement rather than an official corporate announcement. Whether FundingPips completely steps away from industry expos or simply reduces its participation in favor of hosting proprietary events remains to be seen.
Traders and industry observers will likely be watching closely for any future announcements regarding FundingPips’ event strategy.
