The European Corporate Financing Forum 2011

The Forum was a great occasion to share views not only with bankers but mostly with other corporate treasurers which was a unique opportunity at the right time in the year

Now in its third year, the Euromoney Corporate Financing Forum will take place on Wednesday 30 November at Hotel Kempinski in Munich, Germany. First launched in 2009 in Paris, this event was an instant success with corporate treasurers and investors alike. Offering an unparalleled platform for market players to debate the recent trends in corporate finance, this conference is your must-attend event for 2011.

As many companies discover that they have weathered the financial crisis rather well, this Forum will examine what the future holds for corporate finance.  Having a robust balance sheet is just one of the many factors which helped companies through the funding drought. However, with regulatory reforms looming over the banking sector, how will this affect business’ access to funding?

As always this event will include a series of lively panels and in-depth workshops, with participants examining many important corporate funding issues from managing the finance function to accessing the bond markets.

- Gary Admans, Manager, Debt Capital Markets, BP PLC
