Africa banking and finance conference 2012

Nairobi: The Kenyan city of Nairobi has once again shown its importance in Africa's trade relations by being awarded the hosting duties for the 2nd annual Africa Banking & Finance Conference. The event takes place at Crowne Plaza Hotel from 6 to 7 March 2012 and is a must-attend on the business calendar.

The conference aims to bring key industry figures together to debate and discuss various topics and advancements in the banking and finance sectors among Africa's economies. The event will illustrate how to bring banking services to the large portion of Africa's population that has no access to banking services. The conference will also focus on better developing financial infrastructure around the continent, and delegates from all spheres of this important business sector are encouraged to attend.

Key figures from around the world are encouraged to attend the event, from banking heads, CEOs, CFOs and government policy makers to diplomats and government officials involved in the banking and financial sectors. Their input will not only help better understand the obstacles in the industry's way, but also share knowledge with each other in an attempt to overcome these issues. Attendees from the first event included the likes of Standard Bank, the World Bank, Agri-Finance Africa, Bloomberg News, East Africa Development Bank, IBM, and Ernst & Young, the 2012 summit is expected to attract even more. Speakers at the event will include industry leaders and academic experts in the field who will share their expert knowledge on this ever-changing and ever-growing industry.

A total of nine discussion sessions will be held over the two days of the conference, covering topics such as risk management practices, strengthening regulatory frameworks to speed up development, sustainable banking and financial services, and tapping into the global marketplace, among others. There will also be a chance for delegates to network with their counterparts from other African countries, as well as interact with exhibitors who will be promoting their new products and services for the industry. Diarising this event is an absolute necessity for anyone seeking to understand and utilise the complex and growing financial sector across Africa.
