The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) says over 10,000 participants worldwide are expected at its 18th Annual Banking and Finance Conference.
President and Chairman of Council, Prof. Pius Olanrewaju, disclosed this in Lagos on Wednesday during a pre-conference media briefing.
He said the conference would provide a platform for cross-sector dialogue, knowledge sharing, and strategies to address emerging challenges in the banking and finance industry.
Olanrewaju added that the event, to be held in Abuja, has the theme: ‘The New Economic Playbook: The Intersection of Banking, Policy, and Technology’.
In line with its core mandate to build capacity in banking and finance, the institute is set to host the landmark conference.
The annual flagship event brings together policymakers, regulators, operators, academics, clients, and other stakeholders to discuss key developments in the financial sector and broader economy.
“We expect the conference to attract over 10,000 professionals from across the globe,” Olanrewaju said.
Providing further details, Mrs Miriam Olusanya, Chairman of the Consultative Committee, said the event would capture dynamic shifts in the financial services industry now and in future.
Olusanya, also Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank, said the conference will feature three business sessions.
She listed the sub-themes as: ‘Unlocking Nigeria’s Economic Potential: The Role of the Financial Services Industry’ and ‘Adapting to Global Shocks: Enhancing Risk Management, Compliance and Regulatory Practices for Sustainable Growth.’
She said the third sub-theme is ‘Navigating the AI Revolution: Strategic Direction for Financial Institutions.’
“This year’s conference could not be more timely. With digital currencies, embedded finance, AI-driven systems, evolving consumer demands, and shifting geopolitics, old economic assumptions are being challenged.
“There is a need to continuously create new operational frameworks,” Olusanya said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
