Sibos 2008 Vienna — Conference programme at a glance

Learn, discuss, debate

This year's Sibos conference programme has been designed for an increasingly diverse audience. In addition to a broad-range of subjects affecting everyone, there are a series of topics that address different issues and specific market sectors. Once again, there will be dedicated streams for Corporates, Fund & Investment Managers and Standards experts, with a special Tuesday stream on Russia and the CIS countries, facilitated by simultaneous translation. In addition to the main conference and SWIFT specific sessions, third partyorganised meetings will also be taking place throughout the week.

Big Issue Debates

The daily Big Issue debates are an opportunity for everyone to hear the views of key figures from both within and outside the financial industry on a series of issues that are highly relevant to the SWIFT community. The debates will be run by professional moderators and will offer all participants the opportunity to participate, present ideas and contribute to advancing critical dialogue (with simultaneous translation).
