Overview
A year after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, executives and policymakers at the very highest level in national governments and the global financial services community are grappling with some difficult questions.
What must the financial services sector do to survive -- and thrive -- in an increasingly competitive environment and against the backdrop of a global economy still feeling the impact of the financial crisis? How should financial firms gear up for the future? What opportunities do new emerging markets like China and the Middle East have to offer? Where -- and what -- are the next big growth areas?
Chaired by Dan Bogler, Managing Editor of the Financial Times, the FT Rethinking the Future of Finance Conference will feature a combination of insightful presentations, penetrating panel discussions, and no-nonsense on-stage interviews. Through this exclusive, invitation-only half-day event, delegates will get a glimpse of how some of the top minds in today's financial arena picture the challenges -- and opportunities -- that lie ahead.
