It is our pleasure to welcome you to AIBC 2025, taking place on 4th–5th August at the National Gallery Singapore. This year’s theme, “Evolving Horizons,” captures the shifts defining global finance, from market volatility and regulatory developments to the integration of new technologies in investment strategies. As APAC’s largest student-led conference, AIBC has spent the past 17 years fostering discussions that bridge academic understanding with real-world industry challenges. 

​

AIBC 2025 is structured around Investment Banking, Asset Management, Sales & Trading, and Private Banking, reflecting the key divisions that shape the financial industry. Our panels bring together experienced professionals from vast areas of expertise, offering a rare opportunity to gain direct insights into each sector. For many delegates, AIBC serves as a starting point: an opportunity to explore different roles, refine their interests, and develop a clearer perspective on where they see themselves within the financial industry.

What sets AIBC apart is its emphasis on experiential learning. Our competitions, case study workshops, and technical group breakout sessions allow delegates to engage directly with industry challenges, whether it’s structuring an M&A transaction, making a fund allocation decision, or navigating live-market trading scenarios. These experiences are designed to simulate real-world decision-making and equip you with the analytical skills required in the field.

With Singapore as our new backdrop - a global financial hub known for its regulatory strength, innovation, and investment opportunities, this year’s conference is set to be more impactful than ever. I encourage you to engage fully with the sessions, challenge conventional thinking, and take advantage of the opportunity to connect with professionals and peers who share your ambition.

​

We look forward to the discussions, ideas, and discoveries that will unfold throughout the conference.

Best regards,
