Our Previous Conference in Frankfurt…..

Delegates enjoyed FCIB’s 124th Conference in Europe in the great financial centre that is Frankfurt. It was particularly good to see US members of the Board and Advisory Council in attendances, as well as listening to such acknowledged experts as Julian Chen, Pat Connelly, David Weidinger, Jacob Katsman and Wolf Friedinger.
FCIB sincerely thanks ICBA and JPMorgan Chase Bank - and their Keynote Speaker Martin Schutz - and Graydon for their generous sponsorship. Those in attendance will never forget the great beer garden flood of 2007 which immediately followed Monday evening’s dinner!

Tim Davies RIP
With the greatest regret I have to advise you that FCIB member Tim Davies passed away on Thursday, 5 July. Tim was latterly Group Credit Manager for British Vita and a great supporter of FCIB; his contributions including European Conference Moderator and Panelist and Presenter at our first Conference in China. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor immediately prior to leaving for our Rome Conference in February, where he was due to present on 6 Sigma. He will be sadly missed by the international credit fraternity.
