Welcome to Sibos 2014 Boston It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Sibos 2014 Boston. Boston, Massachusetts, is a global financial hub with a vibrant urban center, countless historical landmarks, fascinating museums, critically acclaimed dining, and a bustling waterfront. Its deep-rooted history and culture attract more than 20 million visitors each year. Sibos is proud to be among those visitors in 2014. Building on its rich and significant past, Boston has always been a frontrunner in innovation, with many groundbreaking advances in science and engineering, as well as trade, and the arts. Just like its host city, Sibos continues to evolve to meet changing customer requirements and market developments. This year’s conference program will offer even more dedicated streams to suit the diversity of our community. As we also re-invent certain aspects of the exhibition, we look forward to bringing you a Sibos that is truly the world’s premier financial services event. See you in Boston! Sven Bossu Head of Sibos 7
Sibos The world’s premier financial services event
A conference, an exhibition, and most of all, a networking event for the financial industry. Welcome to Sibos! What started out as SWIFT’s international banking operations seminar with just 300 attendees, has grown into a premier global business forum. In just one week, Sibos now brings together some 7,000 decision makers 8
and topic experts from financial institutions, market infrastructures, multinational corporations and technology partners. Through over half a dozen conference tracks and 200 conference sessions, speakers share thought-provoking ideas and present eyeopening case studies in the areas of payments, securities, cash management and trade.
The Sibos trade show hosts more than 200 exhibitors from financial institutions, application and middleware vendors, systems integrators, consultants, and central clearing systems.
Sibos is organized and facilitated by SWIFT, the global provider of secure financial messaging services. SWIFT’s Sibos team, which works year-round to deliver Sibos, is currently headed by Sven Bossu.
With plenty of networking events on and off the exhibition floor, Sibos is the place to do business and collectively shape the future of the financial industry.

Sibos in Boston Sibos 2014 will take place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from 29 September to 2 October. Truly a global event, Sibos takes place in a different city each year, alternating between continents. Last year, Sibos was held in Dubai with 7,650 delegates; our 10
first Sibos ever in the Middle East. In 2012, 6,250 Sibos delegates visited Osaka. This year, we are returning to the great city of Boston, Massachusetts for the third time in Sibos history: Boston also hosted Sibos in 1994, and again in 2007.

Arrival in Boston
Logan Airport If you’re flying into Boston, most likely you’ll land at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). Logan Airport is just three miles from downtown Boston. It is served by some 30 international destinations. Most of the international arrivals come through Terminal E for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol processing. Website: massport.com/ logan-airport
22
Transportation to and from the airport Sibos offers complimentary shuttle buses from Logan Airport to the official Sibos hotels on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September. On Thursday 2 October in the afternoon, and on Friday 3 October in the morning, complimentary shuttle buses run from the Sibos hotels to Logan Airport. If you arrive in Boston at another time, public shuttle services, taxis, or the subway, can also take you into the city.
Shuttle buses There are several companies that offer shared-van services to many Boston-area destinations. Reservations are generally not required, as these vans pass by all terminals regularly. One-way fares are around $15. Taxis You can find taxis outside each terminal. Fares average $20 each way, including tip. Taxis must pay an extra toll of $5.25 and a $2.75 airport fee when leaving the airport; these fees will be tacked onto your bill at the end of your journey.
45 x 138 mm / half page, vertical
The airport offers a free shuttle bus service from the terminals to Airport Station on the MBTA Blue Line, which runs from the airport to downtown Boston in about 20 minutes. A ticket will set you back $2 in cash, or $1.70 with a pre-paid, stored-value CharlieCard.

Subway
Getting around Even though Boston is one of the largest cities in the country, its accessibility is unparalleled. And while it’s easy to see the sights on foot, Boston also has an excellent public transportation system. On foot Nicknamed the “walking city”, downtown Boston’s European heritage meandering streets are surprisingly easy to navigate. As one of the oldest cities in America, it was after all designed for foot traffic, horses and buggies; not for cars.
24
Subway The Massachusetts Bay Transportation System (MBTA), also known as the “T”, has four major lines (Red, Blue, Orange, and Green). It is supplemented by a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, the Silver line. The Boston subway is the oldest in the US. It opened in 1897 with Park Street station. Visit mbta.com for more information on routes, schedules, fares, and accessibility.
Taxis Cabs are available around the clock. You can find them outside most hotels, and at designated taxi stands around the city. Taxis generally line up in Harvard Square, around South Station, near Faneuil Hall Marketplace, at Long Wharf, near Massachusetts General Hospital, and in the Theater District. Around 2am, when most bars close, hailing a cab can prove challenging. Heading to a taxi stand is the most efficient late-night choice.

Visit Boston
Welcome to Boston Founded in 1630, Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Today, the Greater Boston Area, home to 4.5 million people, is the tenth largest metropolitan area in the US. With more than 100 colleges and universities, and countless financial institutions, Boston is a global financial and educational hub, and among the top 30 most economically powerful cities in the world. It comes as no surprise then that it is also a frontrunner when it comes to high-tech innovation, making it the fourth largest cyber-city in the country. Today, Boston is more vibrant than ever! Many new green spaces, and a revitalized waterfront have added to the city’s already dynamic downtown neighborhoods. Boston is the perfect mix of colonial charm and urban sophistication. Some of Massachusetts’ most scenic and historic towns are just a short distance from the city center. It’s well worth extending your Sibos trip to discover Boston, one of the US’s most diverse and exciting locations.

Did you know? Boston, originally named Shawmut by the Native Americans, was founded on September 17, 1630, and named after Boston, England, a town in Lincolnshire from where several prominent colonists originated. Boston Common became the first public park in the USA in 1634. Harvard, founded in 1636, was the first college established in North America. The Boston University Bridge on Commonwealth Avenue is the only place in the world where a boat can sail under a train driving under a car driving under an airplane. Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is the oldest original Major League Baseball Park still in use. There are no ‘happy hours’ at any Boston bars due to a state regulation that forbids the promotion of discounted liquor.
Boston’s downtown neighborhoods
The Back Bay The Back Bay centers around Newbury Street, where you can wander art galleries, designer boutiques, and sidewalk cafés. It is also home to the John Hancock Tower, and the historic Trinity Church. Beacon Hill Beacon Hill is a 19th-century residential area adjacent to Boston Common. Its narrow brick streets with working gas lamps and elegant town houses, offer a charming stroll. 37
Chinatown Pass under the elaborately decorated gate to discover herbal shops, Asian markets, and dim sum feasts in converted historic theaters. Downtown Crossing In 1773, more than 5,000 colonists gathered at the Old South Meeting House, which resulted in the Boston Tea Party. Today, the intersection of Summer and Washington is where you’ll find the latest fashions and local keepsakes. Fenway/Kenmore Square This home of the Red Sox and Fenway Park also hosts a dozen colleges and universities. Near Kenmore Square, you can also find the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, and Symphony Hall. North End North End’s countless eateries with homemade pasta, cannoli, and cappuccino, is testimony to its rich Italian history. Throughout the neighborhood you can also find colonial era sites, 38
including Paul Revere’s house, the Old North Church, and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. Seaport District Boston’s Waterfront has become an idyllic setting for watching sailboats and ferries glide in and out of the harbor, and an excellent destination for classic New England seafood restaurants. The Rose Kennedy Greenway connects to the 44-mile Harbor Walk, which leads to a clean and restored Boston Harbor. Adjacent to the Greenway are four waterfront landmarks: • The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston’s premier new art venue; • The Boston Children’s Museum, which has undergone a $47-million renovation; • The new Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum; and • The state-of-the-art Boston Convention and Exhibition Center with 516,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space – where Sibos will be held.
39
South End Eclectic art studios, experimental theaters, and independent galleries and boutiques bring energy to this neighborhood, which is also known for its 19thcentruy brick bow-front town houses with hidden gardens. Theater District You’ll find an endless array of shows at the Boston Opera House, the Citi Performing Arts Center, and Citi Emerson Colonial Theatre. For preshow dining, options range from Thai to contemporary American.
40
Further afield North of Boston The charm and lure of the sea draw visitors north. The Oceanside town of Winthrop is mere minutes from downtown Boston. Five miles from the heart of Boston lies a magnificent three-mile stretch of unbroken shoreline in Revere, where sea lovers stroll along the beautiful salt-water marshes. Historic Salem’s streets retain an 18th-century charm. Visit the Peabody Essex Museum, a museum of international art and culture; and the Salem Witch Museum, where you can experience the Salem witch trials of 1692. Whale-watching expeditions and harbor cruises are popular activities in the Cape Ann towns of Gloucester and Rockport. Lowell, in the heart of the Merrimack River Valley, was once home to the American Industrial Revolution and the American labor movement. Lowell’s Heritage State Park and National Historic Park are not to be missed.
South of Boston
West of Boston
Explore the birthplaces and summer White House of presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams in Quincy. Head to picturesque Marina Bay for shopping and dining, rock climbing and harbor cruises. Plymouth offers 21 miles of coastline and a small-town feel. Visitors can enjoy championship golf courses, whale watching, antiquing, sailing and shopping. Famous sites include: Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Plantation and Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the original Pilgrim ship. Restaurants range from seafood shanties to family-style home cooking to international cuisine. Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard have become fabulous havens for those who seek the peaceful inspiration of natural beauty.
The picturesque towns of Lexington and Concord complement any visit to the Boston area. It was on Lexington Green, in the early morning hours of April 19, 1775, that Captain John Parker of the Colonial Militia announced: “Don’t fire unless fired on. But if they mean to have a war, let it begin here”. Those words and the battle that followed changed the course of history. Sites to visit in Concord include The Old Manse, Old North Bridge, and the Concord Museum, which has been collecting American artifacts since before the Civil War and features treasures including the “one, if by land, and two, if by sea” lantern immortalized by Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride”.

Dining out in Boston

Bergamot
Bistro du Midi
That Somerville is now a hot dining destination is due, in large part, to Keith Pooler. In his kitchen at Bergamot, the chef takes the ubiquitous farm-to-table theme and runs with it, producing plates like a witty root vegetable “reverse risotto”, and a pork chop with sweet-tart fig-andgooseberry sauce. Swing by the bar for surprisingly creative drinks and snacks like pimiento cheese and crackers.
Provence-inspired Bistro du Midi has its location in its favor: it’s right across from the Public Garden. The vibe is exceedingly polished, yet easy-going. You can sip cocktails downstairs at the bar or have a more-formal meal upstairs. The clincher, of course, is the food — chef Robert Sisca’s Marseillesstyle bouillabaisse and other seafood dishes are some of the most reliably impressive plates in town.

Clio

Ken Oringer is a tinkerer — he’s one of just a handful of local chefs to toy with techniques like dehydration and specification — and that makes for some of Boston’s most intriguing plates. But he’s also tweaked his 14-yearold flagship over the years, adding a notable cocktail program and a decorative revamp, so it’s no surprise that Clio still feels fresh
This Kenmore Square stalwart is a lot of things to a lot of people: a go-to spot for a lunchtime frisée aux lardons; a post-Fenway watering hole; a bar fit for cocktail connoisseurs; and restaurant industry folk. It excels on all fronts.
