SWIFT Business Forum London

Throughout the year SWIFT hosts Regional Conferences and Business Forums to bring local communities of financial industry professionals together. The SWIFT Institute is proud to support these events through the inclusion of academic content and speakers.

The SWIFT Business Forum London takes place on the 23rd April.

Our industry is grappling with powerful disruptive forces – geopolitical pressure, regulation, a technology revolution, the cyber threat, new competitors and changing customer behaviour to name just a few. Change is a constant, but are we now witnessing a fundamental challenge to established business models and operational processes? Will established financial services players simply be on the receiving end of this change – or can they and new entrants take control and exploit these disruptive forces for competitive advantage? The SWIFT Business Forum London will once again provide a platform to share and collaborate to ensure a vibrant financial services industry in this ever-changing environment.

The SWIFT Institute provides two  separate contributions to this event, both of which build on academic research that we have sponsored and is currently underway.  In April in London you will hear the first hand results of these yet to be published research efforts.

• Investment managers forum – Outsourcing: The shifting dynamic
• Closing plenary: Real-time payments: Strategies for success

You can find full details of the event and register to attend on www.swift.com or through the links above.

We look forward to seeing you in London.

Director of the SWIFT Institute
