View the Executive Finance Forum agenda and flier. This unique forum, specifically designed for bankers and other financial practitioners, focused on the global electronic society and its impact on European financial affairs. Not only has technology enabled London to become the leading global financial centre for new business, overtaking New York in one biannual review*, but the pace of European banking and securities consolidation has gained new momentum, partly driven by the great economies of scale of shared infrastructures. If Europe is to continue to grow with the rise of electronic enterprise and culture, it is important that bankers understand these broader dynamics.
In the next 10 years, we could well see the pace of change accelerate further, driven by globalization and the latest tide of technological innovation and entrepreneurial activity. The range of new technologies described broadly as Web 2.0 not only are creating another generation of e-commerce millionaires, but also are changing the way old world companies have to market themselves. There are plenty of opportunities, but it will take vision, agility, and leadership to grasp them.
The Executive Finance Forum helped bankers see the big picture and understand how these forces are creating a society largely interconnected by real-time networks and automation. It highlighted the most important changes and suggest how banks should adapt their business strategies, policies, and systems.
