About This Event

Retail banking in the Middle East is a dynamic industry. Constant change, opportunity and risk highlight the challenges that you are facing today. IIR’s Third Annual Middle East Retail Banking Forum will dive head-first into proactive growth management, opportunity evaluation and risk minimisation.

Whether you are looking for new ways to collaborate with competing banks, expand into unexplored territory, develop products that will boost your bottom line or network with the leading players in Middle East retail banking, you will find everything you need at the Dusit Thani Hotel, Dubai in October
this year.

Moreover, this year’s Retail Banking Forum is officially sanctioned by the Board of Standards of the American Academy of Financial Management. Further, AAFM has accredited this conference and offers CPD (ContinuedProfessional Development) credits to their members who attend.

It doesn’t end there. This year, IIR is proud to introduce the Middle East Retail Banking Awards 2008. Award categories range from Best in Islamic Banking to Best Branding for a Retail Bank to Retail Banker of the Year.

As the most highly recommended retail banking event in the region, we have focused this year’s event on the issues most relevant to you. That is why you will now find internationally recognised tools and techniques for competing in an increasingly cluttered environment, the latest insights into Islamic banking product development and growth and much more.

Forum attendees will hear from a full variety of international and regional retail banking experts during the three day forum. Additionally, two interactive full day workshops will give you first hand knowledge of complex, in depth retail banking strategies and concepts.
