Welcome

On behalf of the European Banking Forum (EBF), we are delighted to be sending you the July newsletter. This publication is designed to keep you up to speed with the latest developments at EBF.  

EBF 2009, which took place back in March in Frankfurt, was a tremendous success and our best event to date, featuring well over 100 delegates. With more than 400 formal meetings plus numerous other networking opportunities EBF 2009 carved its niche as the most important event for the banking technology industry.  

Our next event, EBF 2010, will cover two separate streams; Customer Acquisition & Retention Stream and Operations, Risk & Security Stream where there will be a separate programme for each.

Situated at the luxurious Park Plaza Riverbank in London, next year’s event will be your ideal opportunity to focus on your potential business partners in this valuable one-to-one meeting format.

The forum will provide each and every delegate the opportunity to be highly productive by sharing ideas and learning more in the meetings, roundtable/panel discussions and workshops or during the numerous social and networking events that will run throughout EBF 2010.

Please review the information below, we welcome all your feedback. If you have any news you’d like to submit for inclusion in the next EBF Newsletter please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,
