International Business Conference
Each year, FWA International Business Conference (IBC) participants explore a destination where fundamental investment and business opportunities are developing.
In 1978, the FWA was one of the first groups to visit China after the country's reopening. Subsequently, the globalization of finance led the FWA to launch its series of international business conferences in 1985.
In each location, the delegation meets with senior government and business leaders to understand the investment potential in these countries and to learn of government’s role in supporting economic expansion.
