SWIFT has revealed that HSBC’s group chief executive Noel Quinn will be the opening keynote speaker for Sibos 2021, one of the largest banking and technology conferences in the world.
Quinn has been with HSBC – or its constituent companies – since 1987. He was appointed to his current role in March 2020.
HSBC says Quinn has extensive breadth and depth of expertise, having previously led a number of business lines within the HSBC Group.
Additionally, Quinn brings a global perspective to Sibos, with experience spanning Asia, the US, and Europe.
The theme for Sibos 2021 is Recharging Global Finance, and experts in banking, payments, securities services, technology, and fintech will share insights and facilitate debate on four interconnected sub-themes.
The four sub-themes are digital acceleration, managing risk, transformative technology, and banking on change.
SWIFT, the organiser of the event, announced in March that the event will run from 11 to 14 October and will be “a free and digital-only event for 2021 to ensure the safest and best possible experience for the global Sibos community”.
Chantal Van Es, head of Sibos, says: “We’re delighted Noel Quinn will open this year’s Sibos and share his unique perspective on the future of the banking industry. This will provide invaluable insights for our delegates and set them up for a packed week of debate and learning.”
According to Es, Sibos will analyse the most pressing topics of our time, from banks’ contribution to society, to the most cutting edge technology and how it can be deployed effectively and responsibly.
“With Sibos again taking place digitally this year we will be launching a number of initiatives to make Sibos immersive, and enable delegates to learn as much as possible from our first class line-up of speakers,” adds Es.
