Swift has named Sibos host cities until the end of the decade. After Frankfurt (2025), Miami (2026), and Singapore (2027), Paris will host Sibos in 2028 – the 50th</sup> anniversary of the event. Then, in 2029, Dubai will follow, marking an expansion into growing economies across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.</em></p> The 2029 edition will also initiate a new rotation for Sibos. The global event has traditionally rotated among established financial centres in three regions: EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific. Beginning with Dubai, the event will be held every fourth year in growing economies across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, to better reflect the diversity and inclusivity of Swift’s global infrastructure that connects more than 220 countries and territories.</p> Why Paris and Dubai?</strong></p> Paris will host Sibos for the first time in 2028 – a milestone year marking five decades since inception of the event. The French capital employs around 340,000 people in the financial industry, according to Paris Europlace, among the highest of any financial hub in Europe.</p> Dubai will follow with hosting duties in 2029. The Middle East is a key strategic region in global finance, bridging Europe, Asia and Africa and facilitating trade and investment flows. Dubai - often referred to as the Gateway to Africa because of this strategic location - is home to the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a global hub that has grown significantly since its foundation in 2004. The DIFC is now home to almost 7,000 businesses as well as the majority of the Gulf Co-operation Council’s fintech industry. </p> A new rotation to reflect global financial inclusion</strong></p> Since its debut in 1978, Sibos has grown into a global gathering of over 10,000 participants to exchange ideas, debate and collaborate across payments, securities, cash management and trade. And with digital pass attendance an option since 2022, the event is more accessible than ever.</p> No other event brings the industry together on the same scale. The addition of a fourth region will bring more diverse perspectives to the event’s debates and discussions. These discussions become even more valuable as the industry navigates rapid change.</p> Register now</em></strong></a> for Sibos 2025 hosted at Messe Frankfurt from 29 September – 2 October.
