SWIFT has made the decision to keep Sibos, one of the largest banking and technology conferences in the world, a free and digital-only event for 2021 to ensure the safest and best possible experience for the global Sibos community.
In April last year, the decision was also made to cancel the physical event of SIBOS.
The pandemic continues to impact the way people live and work, and while progress is being made toward recovery, much uncertainty remains about the outlook for the virus and the evolution of mobility and travel restrictions this year, says SWIFT.
From 11 to 14 October 2021, SWIFT will build on the strength of its first all-digital event in 2020 to drive engagement on key and emerging issues through diverse speakers and thought-leadership.
SWIFT says it will also spark connections through new collaborative networking initiatives and provide more of the insight and inspiration that is unique to Sibos.
“While we will miss being together in Singapore, we will still keep a focus on content for the community in Asia, with plenty of sessions available in local time zones,” SWIFT comments.
Further news on the conference themes are set to be announced in due course, and details of the registration timeline will follow.
SWIFT plans for next year’s Sibos conference to go ahead in Amsterdam from 10 to 13 October 2022.
