An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity for exchanging ideas with experts and your peers and discussing the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic. Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 20 and 35 executive guests and participation is always free of charge. 

Learn at the "Banking" Executive Dinner how leading companies deal with the current market challenges and engage in high-level networking.

With increasing competitive pressure on the US and global banking market, the need to develop efficient & sustainable strategies is more important than ever. To compete successfully in this demanding and unstable national & global market, leveraging proven innovative solutions has become more essential than ever in the banking industry.

Topics to be discussed at the Executive Dinner:

• Competitive Market
  The current financial crisis triggered by a liquidity shortfall in the United States banking system caused by the overvaluation of assets has resulted in the collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments and downturns in stock markets around the world. The resulting highly competitive market has changed the dynamics of the US banking industry.

• Agility
  Responding quickly to changes in market dynamics and competitor behavior is difficult due to unstable markets and evolving global financial situations.

• Differentiation
  The banking industry needs ways of differentiating by providing a consistent, trusted customer experience, more accurate segmentation of customers and the ability to offer effective business solutions.

• Integration
  Process & information flow-optimization often require rethinking existing tools and communication-platforms.

This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to:

• CEO / CIO / CTO / CMO / COO
• Managing Directors
• Directors / VPs / Heads of Corporate Development, Corporate Strategy, Strategic Planning, Strategy Development, Marketing, Sales, Logistics, Operations, IT, Controlling
