The Asian Banker Summit is the preeminent gathering of senior executives and top professionals in the financial-services industry in the Asia Pacific region. Since 2000, the Summit has been delivering the region’s most important learning experience, featuring several separate conferences designed to both educate and challenge industry leaders to achieve new frontiers in their businesses and corporate processes. Each year, close to 500 chairmen, CEOs, executive vice-presidents, regulators and other senior executives who gather at the Summit walk away with fresh ways to approach their businesses and their roles as corporate chiefs.

In 2006, proceedings at the Asian Banker Summit will centre on the theme of “unlocking the value of the institution” through alliances, mergers and acquisitions and also through maximizing the organic franchise of the organization through building customer value.

The Summit will commence with a one-day Leadership Advisory Forum for senior executives and decision-makers of leading banks in the Asia Pacific region, followed by three of the most important areas driving the financial services industry today.

ANCHOR CONFERENCES

The InterBank Conference on Trade, Cash and Treasury.
This conference will feature all the key issues facing the “financial institutions” business of banks today. Even as commercial banks seek counterparties around the world, the global banks have created products and services that enable domestic banks to provide world-class services to their customers. The nature and demands of what used to be called “correspondent banking” has changed forever, yet this will be the first time that banks will have the chance to make sense of the synergies between global and domestic players.

The Technology & Operations Council Annual Meeting.
This Conference is designed to meet the needs of senior management – CEOs, CFOs, CROs, CTO/CIOs and other decision makers at the corporate and business levels -- who are involved in deciding upon fundamental infrastructure requirements to expedite business goals. How are their peers making decisions on core banking and related technology needs? What are the implementation issues? Delegates will receive an incisive study from the experience of their peers in the industry.
