BearingPoint, Capco & Deloitte EURO FINANCE partner

From November 16-20 the EURO FINANCE WEEK takes place in Frankfurt. During the week hundreds of finance experts from across the globe will visit the German financial hub to attend among others conferences, seminars, receptions, and a company marketplace. Three consulting firms – BearingPoint, Capco and Deloitte – act as key partners and contributors of the event.

Now in its 18th year, EURO FINANCE WEEK has developed into one of Europe’s largest meeting points for the banking, insurance and finance industry. The five day event, held between November 16-20 2015 in Frankfurt am Main (Messe Frankfurt Congress Center), boasts over 40 specialised conferences which address topics as retail banking, risk management, islamic banking, FinTech, investment management and technology. A variety of receptions and award ceremonies complement the week’s programme, with the European Banking Congress at Frankfurt's Alte Oper closing the event on Friday. EURO FINANCE WEEK in addition hosts a marketplace, a platform which offers financial institutions and service providers the opportunity to present themselves and network with participants at the conferences.

EURO FINANCE WEEK can build on an impressive number of partners and sponsors. Five players can call themselves institutional sponsors of the event*, and 40+ partners stand at the heart of the week by providing financial backing, expertise and a contribution to the programme. Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank (both premium status) and DZ Bank (diamond status) are the most privileged partners, followed four firms that enjoy a platinum status: BearingPoint, Capco, Helaba and Volkswagen Financial Services.
