Why Should You Attend?

Based on overwhelming demand, TowerGroup is hosting an emergency summit on the topic of pricing and profitability management in the turbulent European market. Only top executives from the retail credit and deposits sides of the business are invited to discuss ways that the banking industry can use pricing strategically to make an immediate impact on profitability during these volatile times.

We’ve been hearing from executives like you that they are under immense pressure in today’s environment for five key reasons:

• Their priorities have shifted from market share to profitability.
• They are trying to effectively deploy scarce capital.
• They need to create a more attractive portfolio mix.
• They need to bring in the right volume of deposits at the right price and to lend the right amount of credit at the right price.
• They need achieve profitable growth.

Are you feeling all this pressure as well? We are sure you are! That’s why we have organized the Pricing and Profitability Executive Summit, which is a one-day event on October 30th. Here, you and executives like you can discuss some of the challenges you are faced with and share solutions.

We have also invited pricing experts who are using innovative approaches and pricing best practices so that you can learn how to leverage pricing immediately to impact your results. By participating in this summit, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, share, and network with the most influential pricing experts in the European banking market. Highlights include:

• The Research Director of European Banking at TowerGroup will be leading an interactive session to address the key challenges in the European banking market and some of the winning strategies that banks can pursue to meet customers’ needs in the most profitable way.
