Less than eight weeks remain until the kickoff of the Annual GBA Summit, which will be hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., Sept. 17-19. Now in its 13th year as the only conference that focuses on what financial institutions can do to drive the female economy forward, the 2014 Summit will focus on how we scale women’s wealth creation.
This year, GBA has created a special morning session that takes a close look at the link between corporate sustainability and serving the female economy, as well as the latest powerful data that can help advance the business case for women’s economic empowerment. The Special Forum: Achieving Sustainability through the Female Economy is open to members and select invited non-member guests, including experts in the field of women’s economic empowerment, thought leaders and government officials.
In addition to these foci, the Summit will offer insights into:
- The business case
- Debunking common myths that bank leaders have about the Women’s Market
- Innovations around financing women entrepreneurs
- Closing the gender gap in financial literacy
- Building powerful customer networks
- Key elements in embedding a Women’s Market program in a bank
