Webinar no 1 | KEEP CALM, ADAPT AND CARRY ON

Date: Wednesday, 3 March 2021 at 11:00 (CET)

This webinar seeks to unearth the current issues faced by Financial Institutions. Are institutional risks merely shifting or are they better managed?  Will FIs gradually shift back to business as usual or has the way we run our institutions changed…perhaps for the good?  Will we serve the same clients with the same products or do our clients require something else?

Speakers:

Florian Dervishi, Managing Partner, impactiive®, Estonia

Zhanna Zhakupova, Executive Director, Asian Credit Fund, Kazakhstan

Perlat Sulaj, Administrator, FED Invest, Albania

Cristian Jurma, General Manager, Vitas, Romania

This webinar will see a variety of software/ IT companies offering digital CBSs and digitization services.  This round-table will allow the panelist to share their experiences throughout the crisis and how the FIs using their systems fared.  The panelist will also have the opportunity to briefly pitch their digital solutions, and breakout rooms will be provided to allow for a more detailed Q&A.

Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2021 at 11:00 (CET)
