You asked for more sessions and more content . . . we heard you!  WIB’s 19th Annual Cashiers/CFOs Conference . . . “The Original” Cashiers/CFOs Conference! . . . is bigger and better than ever . . . “Wired in Seattle: Catch the Energy!” . . . make your plans now to join us!  

When you review the schedule, you’ll notice that we have assigned “tracks” to the concurrent sessions:  F = Financial Track; T = Technology Track; and S = Strategy Track.  Don’t let the track assignments deter you from choosing a session that may sound interesting, just use it as a guide to understand the content of the session.

Our optional pre-conference workshop “Interest Rate Risk & Regulatory Compliance" is complimentary this year on Sunday morning!

When you have a chance to review the schedule, you’ll see that we are starting a little earlier on Sunday this year.  Our opening General Session speaker is well-known Seattle Television Personality, Tony Ventrella.  Tony’s book “Smile in the Mirror” will be a complimentary gift to all session attendees.  Tony’s message will be just the inspiration we all need to get the very most out of this expanded educational program.

The Sunday Jazz Brunch will feature an expanded exhibit hall and live music. Two important new educational sessions will follow brunch.  

The internationally recognized symbol of Seattle, the Space Needle, will be the site of our Welcome Party on Sunday night.  In 41 seconds you’ll go from ground level to wow! Meet your friends and enjoy the magic entertainment and beautiful Seattle Skyline. Dance the night away before returning to the Seattle Sheraton Hotel & Towers and your luxurious newly appointed sleeping room.  We will have an easy-to-use online hotel reservation service available soon.

We have a full line-up of General and Concurrent Sessions with timely topics and interesting speakers!  We added all of this and didn’t forget how important the “Peer Idea Exchange Sessions” are to our Conference.  You’ll have two opportunities to exchange ideas in small groups of your peers.  The Wrap Up General Session on Tuesday morning “From Ricky & Lucy to Beavis & Butthead: Managing the New Workforce” is a session not to be missed.

We’ve scheduled Golf for you on Saturday at The Coal Creek Course at Newcastle.  Starting with terrain “just gentle enough for golf” and in natural framings, this Fred Couples/Bob Cupp designed course preserves long views to provide drama and views of the Seattle area at almost every turn.  Well-defined elevation changes, fairway lines, bunkers and landforms add challenge and excitement, while showcasing the area’s natural beauty.  Registration fees include bus transportation, light continental breakfast and a box lunch.

We’ll be sure to get you back from golf in time to enjoy “Dinner & Dreams” at Teatro Zinzanni!  “Inspired madness” are words used to describe this unique dinner theatre adventure that is our optional Saturday evening event!  This is a blend of world-class comedy, vaudeville, circus arts and cabaret with live music and fine dining that create a new type of entertainment experience.  Be sure to make your reservation early, as tickets are limited!

Our website is being constantly updated with complete descriptions of sessions, exhibitors and events.  You can register now for the conference and optional activities.
