SWIFT has revealed plans to bring Sibos to a broader audience, showcasing a digital programme, not just for Sibos week but extending into 2021 including a new monthly series.
This year’s Sibos, which will still take place on the original dates of 5 to 8 October 2020, will be a free, thought leadership focused event.
The programme will feature insights from the industry experts, who will debate the theme ‘Driving the evolution of smart finance’.
Each day will look into the interconnected sub-themes including: “delivering digital value”, “responsible innovation”, “banking for humanity”, and “the future of finance”.
Meanwhile, a host of Sibos conference sessions will return such as big issue debates, views from the top, Sibos spotlight and innotribe.
Additionally, Sibos will bring back community initiatives, including the STAR Scholarship, collaborative innovation events such as the Sibos Hackathon and select digital networking events.
Sibos is also set to continue the conversation with a programme of monthly digital sessions and content, exclusive to registered Sibos delegates, running through to Sibos 2021 Singapore.
Chantal Van Es, head of Sibos, said: “It was a tough decision to move our event online, but we knew from conversations with customers and partners it was the right one to take.”
“The change in format gives us the opportunity to bring Sibos to a broader audience, showcasing an exciting digital programme, not just for Sibos week but stretching into 2021 with a new monthly series,” Van Es explained.
Van Es added: “This year is an extraordinary challenge for everyone, but we hope to meet your expectations with creativity, flexibility and dedication. While the Sibos experience will be very different this year, we are driven to retain the Sibos ‘magic’ and provide a hub for our community to exchange ideas and collaborate.”
Registration for Sibos 2020 will open from August, when the full Sibos week programme with details of speakers and sessions will be unveiled.
Sibos started out as a banking operations seminar in 1978, but has since grown into the premier business forum for the global financial community to debate and collaborate in the areas of payments, securities, cash management and trade.
