Specialists from the BdB and BdB’s member banks are directly involved in preparing, designing and conducting all our events. 

  • We provide information on the latest developments in the fields relevant to banks.
  • We promote networking among participants, and offer space for discussion and unique forums for the joint exploration of topics.
  • We provide information from practicioners for practitioners.
