Financial Inclusion Week 2025 Session Submission Form

FIW 2025 will take place virtually October 6-9, 2025.


CFI is accepting session submissions for the Financial Inclusion Week 2025 agenda until August 1. To submit a session for consideration, please complete this form. All session submissions will be carefully reviewed by the FIW Selection Committee and regional partners, where appropriate. Your team will be notified in early September of the selection.


The theme for Financial Inclusion Week 2025 is Building Resilience and Well-Being During Rising Uncertainties.


Over the past decade, the financial inclusion movement has made significant strides in expanding access to financial services, especially through the use of technology. But with this progress has come new risks, and today’s rapidly evolving global landscape demands more than just access — it demands resilience.


As we enter the second decade of Financial Inclusion Week, we face compounding global challenges: economic shocks, climate change, geopolitical instability, and digital vulnerabilities. These complexities require financial systems that not only include — but empower — the most vulnerable.


Innovation is often seen as a disruptive force. What if, instead, we channel innovation to build resilience and well-being? Can we reimagine digital finance as a tool to bridge digital divides, reduce fraud, and promote inclusive growth for all — young, old, connected, or remote?


Please join CFI, fellow FIW participants from around the world, and our regional partner network for this exciting event; the place to be when it comes to the financial inclusion industry's virtual convenings.

Our team will be in touch via email in late August/early September. Please enter the email address(es) for whom we should communicate with about your session.

In simple bullets, from the participant perspective, what are the objectives for this session? In other words, what will the participant be able to take away from the content you will present?

This year, we will be requiring applicants to submit an approximately one-minute-long elevator pitch about why their session should be given a live slot or links to videos of prior speaking roles of the proposed speakers. (If choosing the elevator pitch, please upload the video to YouTube as unlisted, and refer here for information on how to do so.)

Is there anything else you'd like to communicate to the FIW Selection Committee?
