Sibos conference theme

Driving the evolution of smart finance

The 2020 conference theme – Driving the evolution of smart finance – explored how the financial industry can make better decisions and run smarter businesses, while optimising technology and data.

With our industry and the world in general in a state of flux, the conference theme got to grips with how the COVID-19 pandemic, geo-political trends, climate change movements and social mobilisation were driving change across the globe. Speakers honed in on how businesses are constantly striving for smarter ways to lead our lives and the key issues facing the industry, from how regulatory change is developing and the evolving workplace, to the role of data and our responsibility to future inhabitants of our planet.
