As the role of Finance in any business continues to grow and evolve given the implications of the future, one might ask, where are we headed? The advent of technology has given various new avenues to explore, and this definitely translates into the field of finance. Given this context, The Management of Financial Institutions Association (MaFIA), a duly recognized professional organization of De La Salle University – Manila that caters to Financial Management majors, will hold an event of amazing proportions as part of its goals to continuously nurture not only its members; but also their fellow LaSallians, and other partnering universities and delegates who will take part in this year’s BPI Summit 2019: Building Progressive Ideas Towards Digital Transformation, to be held on the 30th of March 2019, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at the William Shaw Little Theater, De La Salle University- Manila.
