Annual GBA Summit
The GBA’s Annual Summit is the flagship event for our membership. Each year, the event is co-hosted by a member bank in a different region of the world. With the presence of bankers, policymakers, multilateral and bilateral representatives, academics, and other stakeholders, the GBA Summit is the seminal and most comprehensive event for women’s financial inclusion in the world.
The 2018 GBA Summit will be held November 13-15 in Jordan, hosted by Bank al Etihad.
Inside the Summit
Celebrating its 17th anniversary in 2018, the GBA Summit is the only banking conference of its kind — focusing exclusively on the power of the Women’s Market. Hear what past attendees have to say about what they gained from the experience, in their own words.
