At SIBF our programs are the cornerstone of how members can leverage the vast resources and connections of our network. Since our founding, SIBF has provided unparalleled and exclusive experiences that cannot be replicated elsewhere. From witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Hong Kong handover, SIBF programs provide once in a lifetime experiences. Condoleezza Rice, John Brennan, Thomas Friedman, Amal Clooney, and Bob Woodward have all been SIBF speakers, and each year, this impressive list continues to grow. Whether it is speakers or experiences, SIBF programs offer extraordinary opportunities for personal and professional growth.
To accommodate the busy lives of our members, SIBF offers local and virtual programming. These events provide high-impact information and networking opportunities with a smaller time and financial commitment. Whether you’re solving a business challenge or forging new friendships, SIBF has a program tailored to your needs.
