About the Program
Young banks face a variety of challenges. Some stem simply from being new in the industry and trying to carve a unique style and niche. Some stem from ever-changing industry regulations and competition in the marketplace.
The De Novo Bank Forum is essential for learning the techniques and strategies to rise above and exceed expectations, as well as for gaining experience and insights from peers and seasoned industry experts. The combination of the workshop and the forum provides the “big picture” outlook, helping to create a solid plan for future growth and success.
The first De Novo Bank Forum, held in 2006, was sold out with attendance of almost 200. Great reviews and recommendations to repeat it were given. We are pleased to present our second De Novo Bank Forum.
This Forum provides an opportunity to rapidly get focused on the key issues that will impact your organization.
