The SAX Difference
Your Time. Your Agenda. Tailor Your Day to Meet Your Personal Needs.
SAX is not designed to be another soulless conference or large scale exhibition. Based on your interests, investment mandate and current areas of focus, you choose the sessions you are part of, which rooms you want to join, when you want to engage in sessions, and when you wish to network or select one-to-one meetings. Based on this, our team develops tailored, personal agendas for every single attendee.
