RATIONALE, BACKGROUND & THEMES
 


Following the success of last year's Money Conference entitled "CEO & CSR 2007: Mainstreaming Corporate Social Responsibility in Business Strategy", Money Conferences is proud to present its South-East Europe Banking Conference 2008. This invitation-only conference and networking event is scheduled to take place at the Athenaeum InterContinental on June 24, 2008.

The South-East Europe Banking Conference's mission is to be Greece's most prominent annual event and platform where banking and corporate leaders have the opportunity to network, do business and engage in an open dialogue with top experts and fellow captains of industry.

Last year's CEO & CSR Conference was attended by 300 business leaders, senior executives, top experts, government and media representatives from Greece and overseas. The one-day event featured a healthy mix of plenary sessions, three central panels which focused on "CSR Leadership: The Impact of CSR on Publicly-listed Companies", "CSR Success: Business as Unusual" and "CSR Focus: The Challenges of Climate Change", accompanied by a hands-on workshop. H.E. Stavros Kalafatis, Deputy Minister of Development, H.E. Thomas M. Countryman, the Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Mrs. Imogen Dillon-Hatcher (Managing Director for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, FTSE Group), Mr. Peter Koster (Chairman, European Climate Exchange (ECX)), Mr. Paul Simpson (Chief Operating Officer, Carbon Disclosure Project) and others were among the conference's well-respected expert speakers from overseas. The inaugural gathering came to a close with the "CEO & CSR Awards 2007" ceremony, in which prestigious organisations and senior executives were awarded for their corporate social responsibility actions and programmes.

This year's South-East Europe Banking Conference aims to provide the Greek banking corporate community with invaluable insight on the issues of how the bank funding environment has changed and the way to better shore up their balance sheets, intra-market and cross border M&A opportunities in Greece and South-East Europe as well as Greek corporations and entrepreneurs about how Greek banks can help them expand their businesses across South-East Europe.

The impressive line-up of high-calibre invited speakers includes H.E. George Alogoskoufis, Minister of Finance & Economy, European Central Bank Vice Governor Mr. Loukas Papadimos, Secretary General of the Banking Association for Central and Eastern Europe Mr. Istvan Lengyel, distinguished Greek bankers, Mr. John Kyriakopoulos, Director of the Financial & Management Accounting Division, Bank of Greece, Mr. Michalis Hadjipavlou, Managing Partner, Deloitte, Mr. George Flessas, Managing Director, Civitas Communication, international investment bankers and analysts, as well as local experts and businessmen.

The conference programme will be divided into eight different sessions - four panels and four workshops - which will focus on four main themes: "The Repercussions Of The Global Credit Crunch", "Risk Management: A Crucial Factor For Bank Development", "The dilemma of Banks: Intra-market or cross-border M&A?", "Opportunities & challenges for Banks in servicing companies in the South-East Europe region"

Within this context, the South-East Europe Banking Conference 2008 will offer unique opportunities to leading bankers, CEOs, decision-makers and entrepreneurs in Greece and beyond to share their mission, values, vision and agendas with their peers, benefit from numerous networking breaks and at the same time engage in interactive discussions focusing on business strategy, best-breed products and services and business opportunities.
