Why Attend

Banks in Latin America withstood the global financial crisis and the resulting economic downturn like few others within the global financial system. Improving macroeconomic conditions, still-low interest rates and more diversified funding access are all helping to kick-start investment and credit growth which should lead to better profits and growth opportunities across the continent.

It comes as no surprise that the regions financial institutions are looking to capitalise on last year’s results and increase their investments in ICT solutions.

The FST LA Summit is designed specifically with banking IT and technology decision makers in mind. CIO's, CTO's and other top technology executives will be present to explore the emerging disciplines essential to drive their businesses forward.

An ideal environment will be put in place to offer the opportunity for key stakeholders to discuss common goals and challenges in a relaxed setting ideal for promoting new business relationships to flourish.
 
The inaugural FST Latin American Summit 2010 in December will serve as an arena for senior level executives to engage in clear and focused dialogue with their peers to examine their technology and management objectives in a relaxed and vibrant environment.
 
Technology executives will meet with up to 60 like minded peers and have ample formal and informal opportunity to network.
 
Technology executives will listen and participate in a highly skilled workshop and roundtable program.  Delegates benefit from a balanced array of opinion.
 
Technology executives will engage in four pre-selected business meetings per day with solution providers who understand their position in the market.
 
Whilst there are a select group of sponsors in attendance, the program is designed with the end user in mind.  
 
The delegate attendance is comprised of the most well respected executives in the financial services industry, and the meetings are designed to surpass the traditional exchange of business cards and allow executives to communicate on a personal level.

Testimonials

"What surprised me was the value that I got from the one on one meetings with vendors. I came to network with my peers but a few new relationships were surprising. I can be pretty tough to reach at the office and that can sometimes work against me…"
