European Microfinance Network announced that the EMN Annual Conference is scheduled for October 2026 in Barcelona, with Early Bird rates available until August 31st at 23:59 CET.

The European Microfinance Network (EMN) is a Brussels-based non-profit organisation with 91 members in 25 countries. We envision a society in which those excluded by the conventional banking system have access to a full range of financial and support services, empowering them to finance personal needs, consolidate existing businesses, and start new ventures to improve their lives. Our mission is to advocate for transparency and good governance in the European microfinance sector, while developing capacity building, promoting best practices and fostering research within and beyond the membership. EMN’s core membership is made up of microfinance practitioners. These are social purpose organisations delivering financial services to the underserved or facilitating access to such services. The work of the network is also supported by Partners and Corporate Members; organisations such as national networks, academia, service providers to the sector or banks that are involved in European microfinance issues and that support the development of microfinance in Europe.
