With combined management experience totalling over 30 years and having brought to the market 100+ industry events and conferences FST Media is inextricably linked with excellence. The FST team brings unparalleled understanding of the market and access to the industry’s key executives. FST Media will be producing Australia and New Zealand’s biggest and most relevant conferences, events and seminars for the financial services industry.

FST Media’s annual technology conferences – the biggest domestic events by far – act as a forum for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and information between banking, insurance and financial services executives, technology vendors, government representatives and service providers to the industry.

The financial services market is subject to constant evolution and change. As organisations operate in an increasingly regulated environment and within a globalising context, businesses are recognising the need to be both robust and agile in terms of the solutions and strategies they implement to sharpen their competitive edge. Against this backdrop, financial services institutions have turned to technology as a key business enabler and an integral part of effectively managing corporate strategies and growth.

Security as well as compliance and regulatory challenges have also contributed to this business and technology evolution. The market, both domestically and globally, has been subject to an unprecedented overabundance of compliance initiatives and security threats. Consequently, balancing the requirements of the organisation, government and regulators, and the client has become the most urgent priority of most chief information officers.

FST Media conferences will focus on the role of technology and its business outcomes in this ever-shifting environment. These events will focus on issues that the industry faces as it tries to maximise returns to their own organisation while maintaining a competitive edge.
