AIBC 2024 Agenda
Asia Investment and Banking Conference 2024 will provide in-depth insights into the dynamic shifts in global finance and economics. As geopolitical and economic forces reshape the landscape, new and complex networks of influence and opportunity are emerging. Our conference will examine these developments, highlight key growth areas, and explore the investment corridors that connect these vibrant centres.
The program will feature panel discussions and workshops with CEOs and business leaders who will share their expertise on navigating the challenges and opportunities in today’s fast-changing market.
With a blend of global perspectives and deep local knowledge, the conference aims to bridge the gap between international trends and regional realities. Delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of how global economic shifts are impacting local markets, and how local developments in Asia are influencing the global stage.
