The Central and Eastern European Forum 2018 | Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC | 16 January 2018 | Vienna, Austria

The Euromoney Central and Eastern European Forum will return to Vienna on 16-17 January 2018. Now in its 23rd year, we will welcome the prominent issuers, investors, financial intermediaries and policy makers to discuss, debate and analyse the key issues facing the CEE markets.

Live keynote interviews, editorially driven panel discussions, sponsored workshops and country specific roundtables make up the format for this day and a half of discussion and networking. The forum offers a platform to network with over 1,100 delegates and speakers ranging from key government officials - including finance and economy ministers and central bank governors - to investors, business leaders, heads of financial institutions and key commentators. In the current global economic environment, it is more important now than ever to meet and engage in debate around the big questions for the region.

Mark the date in your diary and prepare for our return to Vienna. With all the major players in one place, this really is a must attend event.
