WELCOME MESSAGE

We are delighted to announce the 26th Annual Conference Embracing Diversity for Inclusive Finance and we invite you to join us. The conference will take place on 14-15 May 2024 in Cracow, Poland.

Diversity is not only a reality, but also a necessity for microfinance in the 21st century. As the world faces unprecedented challenges such as climate change, migration, digitalization, geopolitical shifts and the rise in inequalities, microfinance has a vital role to play in supporting the resilience and empowerment of diverse and vulnerable communities and populations. Diversity also encompasses a variety of ideas, approaches, and contexts. We aim to engage participants from this multifaceted perspective, fostering rich discussions on various approaches to financial and social inclusion.
