Sessions by type

A variety of formats for a stimulating conference programme

• Plenaries, keynotes and big issue debates
  (in the plenary hall)
  The keynotes, plenaries and big issue debates are when Sibos comes together as a whole. They are opportunities for everyone to hear the views of the most senior key figures from both within and outside the financial industry on issues that are highly relevant to the SWIFT community.
  
  
• Main conference sessions
  (in main conference rooms)
  Sibos offers a rich and diverse conference programme featuring leading experts from our industry who come to debate, share their knowledge and insights and discuss the issues that are at the top of financial industry’s agenda. This year’s conference programme reflects the diversity of the Sibos audience and covers a wide selection of topics ranging from high level strategic outlooks to more targeted operational sessions.
  
  
• In conversation with… 
  (in main conference rooms)
  Intimate, one-on-one interviews with our industry’s most senior leaders.
  
  
• Innotribe 
  (in the Innotribe Space ) 
  Innotribe is back for its third year at Sibos. Located in the Innotribe Space in the heart of the conference floor, Innotribe is our incubation zone for new ideas. This year, Innotribe will explore three technology topics - big data, social data and digital identity. And we'll also examine three non-technology topics - corporate culture, where does the investment money go, and new economies. We are keeping the Innotribe Labs and the magic they create. But we will also explore new formats and new topics. We will experiment with new facilitation techniques such as game-storming and open space discussions.

• Community sessions
  (in the Community Rooms)
  As has become the Sibos tradition, many associations and organisations will take the opportunity to organise meetings and presentations (open or by invitation only) covering topics of importance and relevance for Sibos participants during the week.
  
  
• Open Theatre sessions 
  In the Sibos exhibition area, institutions, associations, exhibitors and SWIFT partners present 30 minute case studies and papers on subjects across the spectrum of the financial industry and of direct relevance to Sibos participants.
  
  
• SWIFT Auditorium sessions
  To complement the main Sibos conference sessions, SWIFT is mounting a rich programme of information sessions and case studies. Join us in the SWIFT auditorium throughout the week for the latest information on our portfolio of solutions, products and services to support your business.
