The Annual Meeting in a nutshell
Previous editions
Prior to the pandemic, the GABV Annual Meeting had been hosted in person – from Kathmandu to Berlin; from Lima to Vancouver. Every year, a host bank invites the CEOs of GABV member banks to meet around a theme that is of global interest and that also reflects our evolution in the banking industry.
Over the course of three days, participants, including CEOs and a broader audience connected to the Banking on Values movement discuss the future of the financial sector and focus on how values-based banks can play a role in addressing the biggest social and environmental challenges.
See the highlights of previous editions to have a glimpse of this unique forum.
Shaping the Future of Finance: Values-based Banking for a Changing World
Hosted by Sunrise Banks, it was the first virtual edition due to the pandemic. From conservations to futurists, scientists to economists, it brought together a diverse breadth of inspiring voices to work with bankers best placed to shape a more sustainable and resilient future for finance.
Every degree matters
Alternative Bank Switzerland hosted the 2020 Annual Meeting on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. The meeting focused on Climate Change and the role of the financial sector. A special public event drew over 300 high-level participants involving the Swiss Youth movement and the Swiss financial sector.
Migrants, #MeToo and Melting Icecaps…
Vancity hosted both the 2019 GABV Annual Meeting and the 10th Anniversary. The Summit was probably a unique event ever celebrated around the banking industry. It gathered close to 700 people from academia, banking industry and civil society all over the world to redefine banking for a radically different future.
A learning experience
Beyond CEOs
Originally the GABV Annual Meeting was focused on CEOs and senior leaders leading the way in values-based banking. Over the years, it has grown to include participants of the Leadership Academy, Communities of Practice – partner groups that aid member banks, and other partner organisations. With each new meeting, we welcome new member banks, prospective members, and those in transition to becoming values-based.
Hosts of the meeting are able to engage their own co-workers in various elements of the meeting. This provides opportunities for a wide group of practitioners to learn from the world’s leaders in values-based banking, helping to embed a values-based approach more deeply in the host bank.
