MEETUP FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY

BANKING 2025

Changing the future of banking

NOVEMBER 14-15, 2019, FRANKFURT

DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY OF THE FUTURE TOGETHER WITH US

What will the financial industry look like in 2025? What are the consequences of increasing regulation, digital innovation, advanced analytics and blockchain? Are banks and asset managers still purely financial service providers or are they already technology companies? And aren't specialized providers such as FinTechs outstripping traditional financial companies anyway?

Our Banking Meetup offers you the platform to discuss and deepen exactly these questions with our industry experts in an innovative format. Your perspective is important for this experience sharing!

We invite you to take this opportunity not only to discuss the latest insights into the financial industry of the future, but also to learn more about Bain & Company, our results-oriented and entrepreneurial approach, and members of our Financial Services team.

Content

Would you like to discuss the future of the financial industry in the area of tension between digital innovation, new business models and changing regulatory frameworks?

At our Banking2025 event, we present how Bain tackles these challenges with its clients. As experienced professionals, you can discuss with our experts why the future of the financial industry has been one of the key issues for us as a top management consultancy for years and how we are actively shaping the future of the financial industry - both in Silicon Valley and 'locally'.

After a short welcome in our Frankfurt office, we invite you to an exclusive dinner in a relaxed atmosphere on Thursday evening, which offers the opportunity to exchange ideas and expand your individual network. In a confidential atmosphere you can get your own impression of Bain, our consultants and your individual career opportunities.

On the second day, we will discuss with you as financial services professionals our perspective on the key trends and issues that will change the financial industry by 2025. At our Banking Meetup, moderated by Bain consultants, you have the opportunity to explain your view of selected key topics. Regardless of whether you are a seasoned consultant or an experienced banking expert: looking at the topic from different angles offers the chance to generate new perspectives together with you. Use our Meetup as a platform to contribute your opinion, experience and ideas.

Based on the summary of your findings, we will then jointly develop a view of the main challenges and develop effective solutions. In a final coaching session with an experienced Bain partner, get an idea of career planning, advancement opportunities and further training opportunities within the Financial Services practice group.
