Exhibiting

No other event offers as much opportunity for doing business

It's the only place where the financial industry really gets togethers Sibos 2009 post-event survey

Why exhibit?

Sibos is more than a conference and exhibition; it is the financial services industry’s premier event. It is also the only event that covers all sectors of the financial community, and therefore attracts the industry’s leading figures and companies. Networking and doing business are at the top of the agenda. The presence of so many senior representatives from leading institutions worldwide means that dialogue about the future of the industry is lively and thought-provoking, therefore the conference sessions are designed to highlight and explore the current challenges and initiatives arising in the industry. Leading experts in their field come to debate and share their knowledge about new technologies, processes, requirements, alliances, and of course, efficiency and security. Sibos draws audiences in excess of 8,000 participants from the financial industry ranging from the established financial institutions to application and middleware vendors, system integrators, central clearing systems and consultants. They come to Sibos to do business, learn about new products and services, and simply to network. Bankers, investment managers, broker-dealers, treasury specialists, operations professionals, corporates, and representatives from emerging markets, all see the Sibos conference and exhibition as an excellent investment.

What makes Sibos unique

• Worldwide attendance:

Over 250 application and middleware vendors, systems integrators, financial institutions, consultants and central clearing systems from around the world exhibit at Sibos. Networking over 90% of all participants visit the Sibos exhibition at some point during the week. This gives all participants and exhibiting companies plenty of opportunity to network and to discuss requirements and solutions.

• Forum for debate

What you see at Sibos is a phenomenal example of the fusion of technology and business. Sibos is now a well established forum to debate the issues that are challenging the financial industry.

• Advancing critical dialogue

There is a strong link between the conference and the exhibition. Exhibitors who take advantage of this fact position themselves as industry experts, talking to delegates who are keen to find out more, and understand how the vendor community is addressing the issues they have been discussing.

Criteria for exhibiting

In order to ensure that all participants get the most out of their time, Sibos is a by invitation only event with strict exhibiting criteria. While Sibos participants include representatives from financial institutions, central clearing systems, corporate organisations, as well as journalists and consultants, Sibos exhibitors are financial institutions (SWIFT users) and commercial companies (application, service and middleware vendors) that offer commercially available solutions to enable or further automate the usage of SWIFT in a financial messaging context. If your company has not exhibited at Sibos in the past and does not have a current relationship with SWIFT, we need to ensure that your company is eligible to exhibit. With this in mind, you will be asked to answer the following questions: What services does your company provide? What would you showcase during the week of Sibos, should your application be successful? What is your intended relationship with SWIFT and related solution/service offering that helps banks and corporates to automate in a SWIFT environment?
