The agenda for the 2015 Summit has been built around the top areas of interest that were revealed by a poll of GBA members. Panels this year will focus on Driving Women’s Market Performance, particularly:
- What She Wants: A compilation of customer insight from GBA members
- Customer Centricity: Key drivers of Net Promoter Score
- Segment Value Propositions for very small businesses, the unbanked and the high net worth
- The Women’s Market for insurance
- The rise of FinTech and what it means for women as consumers of financial services
- Building internal buy-in for a Women’s Market strategy
Apart from engaging Best Practice panels and networking events, the 2015 event will feature an Exposure Visit to host Itaú Unibanco and a first-of-its-kind Global Data Symposium, a multi-stakeholder conversation exploring the challenges and opportunities surrounding the collection and use of sex-disaggregated supply and demand data to encourage closing the financial services gap for women.
