Welcome
On behalf of ACI Australia and ACI - The Financial Markets Association I invite you to join us at the 49th ACI World Congress to be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Australia, in March 2010. The Congress returns to Sydney for the first time since 1998.
The Organising Committee is looking forward to welcoming you to enjoy the strong Financial Markets program, superb social events and countless networking opportunities that the Congress will offer all delegates.
The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre is situated on beautiful Darling Harbour and provides a marvellous physical setting to achieve those aims. Sydney is the centre point of Financial Activity in Australia, a vibrant city, home to two of the world's greatest icons - the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and blessed with natural open green areas & beautiful local beaches.
The financial content of the Congress will be the broadest ever for an ACI World Congress. There will be panel discussions and presentations covering the entire spectrum of Financial Markets topics and factors affecting our Markets today and tomorrow. We are currently forming a program advisory group to ensure that the congress reflects the latest advances and trends in financial markets and brings together the highest calibre of local and international speakers.
The exhibition will allow delegates to interact with Banks, finance companies, markets intermediaries & service providers. In addition, delegates will also be able to meet with Australian domiciled companies to discuss their unique offerings.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 49th ACI World Congress in Sydney which we are working towards making the most comprehensive and memorable to date.
