Russian Banking Forum 2009

We have begun preparations extra early this year so as to ensure that we can involve you as much as possible in the programme formation and development, to ensure it meets all your business needs and expectations. In the current economic climate this event has become more strategically important than ever – and the feedback and results from the 15th Russian Banking Forum has re-enforced that.

In December 2008, when the Russian and international markets were heavily shaken by the global financial and economic downturn, over 250 board level participants from Russian and international banks, financial institutions and funds gathered together for a real and frank discussion on what steps need to be taken to ensure the stability and strength of the Russian Banking sector in 2009 and what will the winning strategies be that will help banks to not only weather the crisis, but to come out stronger in the end.

Our sole aim is to ensure that the Russian Banking Forum 2009 will not only allow you to get a fresh update on the key issues and solutions within the sector from all the leading Russian and international experts and gurus, but also assist you in developing and implementing real strategies for your business. In addition to that, this event is aimed to inspire you with new ideas and of course to provide you with a unique opportunity for unrivalled networking which our Forum is renowned for!

Therefore please do let us know any comments, queries or suggestions – so that in 2009 we can offer you the most useful and topical Russian banking Forum to date.
