Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, according to news reports.

“This acquisition allows us to combine Reuters globally trusted brand, scale and editorial excellence with FCBI’s deep expertise in highly specialized events for professionals,” Reuters president Michael Friedenberg said in a statement.
“As Reuters Events, they will help us to accelerate our growth and deliver on our mission to provide trusted intelligence that helps humans and machines make smart decisions.
“Moreover, this will create a new platform for our world-class journalism.”
Sue Brooks, managing director of product and strategy at Reuters, told the PressGazette in the UK recently, “If we don’t disrupt ourselves, somebody else is going to do it for us.”
