New Decade, New Directions

The theme for Abacus 2010 is "New Decade, New Directions". As the financial services world continues to evolve, Abacus 2010 will look at challenges, opportunities and innovative ideas to take mutuals into the new decade. This year we have refreshed the business breakout sessions by moving away from a targeted management and governance focus, to provide more flexibility for delegates to choose the business session of most interest.
