The global financial services recovery is leading to a re-design of financial services centres strategies worldwide, says a press release. This event is a must in the annual calendar of strategic planners in global financial services companies and their advisers, and in eight sessions on April 27th and 28th, many of leading decision-makers from centres in Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia will roll out their redefined business models for the new market environment of 2010 and beyond.
Highlights from the packed agenda include:
- The fix for global finance, and its implications, through the strategies of the G20 countries for financial centres large and small
