The Plenaries

The bi-annual ECBC Plenary meeting is the covered bond industry’s key networking event, traditionally bringing together more than 300 key decision makers including issuers, investors, government and regulatory officials at national, European and global levels, analysts, rating agencies and journalists from over all covered bond jurisdictions.

The ECBC Plenaries have a long history of being the get-together of the global covered bond community where the latest matters of interest are discussed. This forthcoming meeting in Stavanger marks the 38^th edition of our event.
