Expert Panels consist of invited senior members of the banking industry, who meet as experts in a “round-table” format to discuss burning issues with industry specialists. After the Expert Panel meetings, the output from the event is shared with the rest of the membership in an Expert Panel Output Paper. One senior representative per bank can join an Expert Panel event. The expected attendance at an Expert Panel meeting can be anywhere between 15 to 30 persons and the events are between one hour and a quarter and one hour and a half in duration. Expert Panels are included as part of the membership subscription.
