Chicago Microfinance Conference

May 8th, 2007 by Dave Leave a reply »

Sounds like an interesting gathering to review the state of microfinance in Chicago on May 25th. Both keynotes are very knowledgeable on the state of microfinance. Vikram Akula is CEO of SKS Microfinance, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing MFIs. I saw Vikram a couple of weeks ago at an event in Seattle where he shared about how SKS is leveraging global capital markets to maintain an incredible client growth rate. Elizabeth Littlefield is CEO of CGAP and has considerable insight into microfinance industry and where things are heading. I was on a panel with her at the USAID microenterprise event last summer.
