Shaping the Future of Microfinance

September 30, 2010

Microfinance has become critically important, not only in developing economies, but in major economies as well. Perhaps nothing makes a better case for this assertion than the agenda for the 3rd Microfinance Summit, November 15-15, 2010, in San Francisco.

Microfinance 2.0 - Going Beyond Microcredit and Shaping the Future of Microfinance - brings together a renowned speaking faculty bringing a multitude of knowledge and expertise to the program. Confirmed speakers include representatives of CGAP, Freedom from Hunger, Compartamos Banco, KIVA and the Calvert Foundation. Sessions will explore new areas for microfinance, including savings, insurance and mortgage offerings.

InsideMicrofinance is proud to be a Media Partner of Microfinance 2.0, the 3rd Microfinance Summit.

Worldwide, 3.5 billion people lack access to financial services. By 2012, 1.7 billion of these unbanked individuals are expected to have access to mobile phones.
