Meeting of Banking and Insurance World Leaders - a safe and comfortable hybrid congress formula!

The Meeting of Banking and Insurance World Leaders is a cyclical meeting which brings together key personalities and companies from the banking and insurance sectors. It is an excellent opportunity for debates on the most important issues, problems, opportunities and challenges for everyone interested in what is and will happen in the financial services industry.

During the two days of the event, the most important issues will be discussed in light of the changes which have occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the inaugural part, experts will focus on the issues of rebuilding the Polish economy during the recession, including the impact of the pandemic on the international economy, the role of the state in the stabilisation of the economy and the functioning of financial institutions in the new reality. The introduction will also include a discussion on the prospects for the development of the capital market in the face of the financial crisis and changes in market dynamics.

During the part of the congress dedicated to the Warsaw International Banking Summit, we will discuss topics oscillating around the challenges of banks in terms of both customer contact and the internal organisation of work and digitisation that banks are facing in regards of the new market situation. We will also discuss trends in the digital transformation of banks in 2020, including the current application of tools and changes in technology in the banking sector. There will also be topics related to credit and loan policy and Open Banking. We will also summarise the most important issues regarding the payments ecosystem in the new reality.

The debates of the 16th Insurance Forum will be based on the transformations that took place on the insurance market as a result of the crisis. We will mainly deal with issues such as insurance distribution during a pandemic, discussing the changes that have occurred in this aspect and the development of digital distribution channels, changes in the product offer resulting from the pandemic as well as the challenges faced by insurance agents in the current reality. Together with the experts, we will also discuss the prospects for the group insurance market and health insurance applications in the first months of the pandemic. We will also devote part of the discussion to summarising the activities and trends in digitisation of the insurance environment.

The hybrid formula of the event will allow us to combine a meeting in a hotel, where a limited number of people will be invited to ensure the safety of participants, and an online congress where participants will have the opportunity to use a specially prepared platform with streaming access from the main stage of the congress, the Partner zone, the possibility of asking questions and commenting on the current discussion, as well as the possibility of establishing relationships in private chats, video chat and topic rooms.

The congress is carried out as part of the activities of MMC Poland, which organises prestigious congresses, conferences, workshops and business trainings dedicated to specialists, managerial staff and company boards.
