The event began with the CEO/EXCOM walk race, attended by various bank CEOs, including I&M Bank CEO Robin Bairstow.

“It’s been a good experience; it was nice seeing I&M Bank staff come together for an engagement outside the office. Events like this foster team spirit and allow us to interact in a more relaxed, fun environment, which is refreshing compared to our usual professional settings,” I&M Bank CEO Robin Bairstow said, adding that, “Today also presented a grand opportunity for us to interact with the regulators, away from official settings, as well as colleagues from across the banking sector.”

I&M Bank, which took part in all competitions at the event, has become a regular at the games, exhibiting commitment in terms of teamwork, as well as sectoral engagement, that is critical for the steady growth of the financial sector.

“Among other benefits, events like this foster team spirit amongst bankers, and allow them to interact in a more relaxed fun environment, which is extremely refreshing,” said Annette Nakiyaga, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at I&M Bank.

“Engaging in sports helps develop skills like leadership, communication, and discipline, which translate back into our work environment. Plus, it creates a sense of community and belonging within the organization,” Nakiyaga added.

According to the organizers, the future looks promising for the gala. As the event grows, it will likely attract more participants, making it a bigger platform for networking and engagement. It could evolve into a key annual event that strengthens bonds across the banking industry.

The Bankers Sports Gala is a grand sporting, networking, and social event that draws participation from employees of supervised and licensed financial institutions, including the Bank of Uganda (BOU). Its major objective is to foster relaxation of body and mind, providing a forum for fitness, education, fun, and entertainment for participants.
