Welcome to the 2012 Education Summit & Expo!

As you continue to ride the wave of change, you'll need to adjust to a new vision of what it will take for a community bank to be successful tomorrow. Now, more than ever, you'll need to delve deeper into new ways that can increase efficiencies, improve profitability and enhance shareholder value. The task is not easy and you need all the help you can get. 

This one-of-a-kind community bank conference has the deep learning you need for the work you do every day. Whether your focus in the bank is narrow or broad, you’ll have the flexibility to choose the sessions that best meet your learning needs.

Top off your learning experience with our popular peer group sessions. You get invaluable connections and information that can change the way you do your job. You’ll also visit with a variety of vendors so you can stay on top of the products and services that improve efficiency and generate revenue.

Sessions from all four Education Summit & Expo conferences will be running concurrently – as an attendee at one conference, you can mix and match sessions (at no additional cost) from other conferences that best suit your needs!
