Now in its ninth year, the Forum continues to serve as a powerful platform for financial industry leaders to exchange insights, present innovations, build partnerships, and explore emerging trends in financial technologies, digital transformation, and the payment ecosystem.

IBF is the only finance and banking event in Azerbaijan where all bank CEOs are present. It also brings together top-level participants from regulatory bodies, fintech companies, banking associations, international financial institutions, foreign embassies, academia, and influential decision-makers — both from Azerbaijan and from abroad. Delegations from neighboring countries and other international financial centers also actively participate, making IBF a truly regional and global platform for networking, dialogue, and collaboration.

In addition to the main Forum program, side events such as meetups, webinars, seminars, and competitions will enrich the experience and encourage dynamic engagement among participants.

🎉 We look forward to welcoming you to this prestigious event in Baku!
