EBAday 2008, Helsinki

Running over two days in Helsinki, EBAday 2008 will look beyond the practical compliance requirements of operating a Single Euro Payments Area and deal with the strategic questions that banks must address if they are to prosper in the new business environment.

An influential panel of senior executives and practitioners from the industry will lead the discussions, workshops and panel sessions.

The high-level conference and seminar programme is complemented by an exhibition showcasing the complete spectrum of payments-related solutions and services from leading banks, ACHs, technology vendors and consultancies.
