A Senior-level Benchmarking Forum of Pre-Qualified Data & Analytics Leaders from Global Investment Banks and Asset Managers
At FIMA Connect, you’re in control. Your schedule is customised so you can cut through the noise and get your strategic benchmarking and vendor evaluation needs covered within days, not weeks.
As attendance is restricted to senior-level budget holders from the top Global Banks and Asset Managers and a select group of best-of-breed vendors you will:
- Brainstorm real and practical ideas to transform your business through private, closed-door sessions led by market leaders
- Efficiently evaluate the leading service offerings during conveniently arranged 1-1 meetings with vendors that you select based on your current investment priorities.
It’s a Platinum Members’ Club offering a bespoke experience for those shaping the future of data & analytics in financial services. It’s where you make the connections you need to make, when you want to make them.
