THE CONTEXT:

The twenty-ninth Meeting of Minds Bank and Brand Distribution of Retail Financial Services took place on Thursday 7 October as a hybrid event. This document captures the outputs from the programme of the twelve interactive roundtables that took place.

This Meeting is a strategic forum organised on a biannual basis by Owen James bringing together senior executives involved in setting strategy across distribution, client services, product design and marketing - for a blend of interactive roundtables addressing a carefully curated agenda, external keynotes and networking.
