Top Ten Strategic Technology Initiatives: Digital Transformation That Respects Your Brand
In an industry that is built on trust and tradition, today’s successful bankers must align their technology, processes, and people for high performance to compete across multiple channels in the digital and physical worlds. Determining which opportunities to seize and which to forgo is the foundation of a digital services strategy that can set your bank on a path to success. Picking one’s battles (and providers) has never been more important, especially in the area of digital services.
Learn which technological innovations are worth your time and attention and which are simply fads driven by hyperbole as Jimmy takes you on a myth-busting journey through the latest tech trends with a humorous yet no-nonsense look at the business issues that impact us most.
Gain strategic insight and valuable takeaways from one of the most informed and independent voices in the industry.
Drafting a Team of Major League Tech Providers: Winning Strategies for Core Evaluations and Vendor Management
All banks are dependent on third-party service providers to function. Choosing the right providers is critical to establishing and maintaining a high-performing bank. As your bank goes through digital transformation where customer-facing applications are expected to be convenient yet secure, provider selection and vendor management are more important than ever.
In this session, learn the latest strategies to select the right core provider while considering ongoing vendor management issues. Let Jimmy show you the proper steps to core selection plus his “less than 40 hours annually” vendor management method.

Ransomware Protection: Ten Ways to Protect the Bank's Network
The greatest cybersecurity threat to banks today is ransomware. How is your bank mitigating ransomware risk? How prepared are you to respond when your network is locked up and you get that ransom demand? Join Joshua for a real-world perspective on this growing threat. Hear about actual ransomware attacks and how banks responded. Learn how to better secure your bank against this costly and disruptive hack.
Cybersecurity Incident Response: What to Do When Your Bank Has Been Hacked
The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Some banks think they have cybersecurity incident response down pat…until an incident occurs at midnight on the Saturday of a holiday weekend. You’ll never pay a ransom? Really?! It’s not your responsibility if a small business customer experiences a Corporate Account Takeover? You think so?! There is no way your VPN could be hacked? Think again!
Plus, are you ready for the new “Computer-Security Incident Notification Requirements for Banking Organizations and Their Bank Service Providers” (FIL 12-2022) which requires FULL compliance on May 1, 2022? Do you have an “Examiner Computer-Security Incident Notification Policy” to handle the new “36-hour” requirement?
Let Joshua take you through the most prevalent cybersecurity incidents and guide you on practical responses to “worst day of your career” scenarios. Learn how to be prepared and demonstrate that preparedness to board members and examiners.

Partnering for Innovation - How to Buy #FinTech Solutions for Your Bank
Financial technology solutions (#FinTech) have gone from trying to disrupt the banking industry to seeking partnerships with banks like yours. In this session we will talk about what solutions are out there, what the trends in the industry are, but spend the majority of the time on how to buy. How can your bank get through the legal, compliance and implementation process with these FinTech providers? From proof of concept to public launch, how can you innovate without putting your bank at risk?

Workplace Dynamics: Navigating a New Environment
In the last three years the phrase “workplace dynamics” has expanded from a primary focus on manager/employee engagement to a much wider world influenced by locational, generational, diversity, engagement, and other factors.
In this interactive session, Mark Faircloth presents the new elements of the dynamic workplace from the perspectives of employees, managers, and executives. Using current examples, Mark introduces an assessment process and customizable plan designed to direct and sustain the right results throughout any organization.

Tim Pannell
Founder, President, CEO & Partner, FMS Consulting
Why Leaders Need to Be Readers
Over the past 34 years Tim Pannell has had the pleasure of working with banks all over the country. One of the items that continues to amaze him is the response when he asks people what they are reading. So often the case it is either “nothing because I am too busy” or “I began a book but have not been able to finish it because so much is going on with work and family.” It is somewhat tragic to be in a position where one’s knowledge base, experience and wisdom is limited to shallow waters that are not flowing or allowing any new ideas to contribute. Reading allows one to learn, grow and be inspired. Reading allows one to gain the knowledge of another life or perspective so one’s starting point can be much further ahead than without it. The old adage is still true: “Readers are Leaders.”
The need for leadership in the banking industry is paramount, especially when we are experiencing such economic, health and global issues. The banking industry is sailing in uncharted waters, and it will be sound leadership that guides each bank safely through successfully. In this session, we will spend our time discussing how you can continue to grow into the leader you will be for your bank through reading. We will discuss how you can grow, learn, and thrive with new ideas, lessons and inspirations. People come to a babbling brook to learn and not a stale pond. Be that source of wisdom, knowledge and insight for your bank. Be that person who helps take your bank to the next level.

Noah Scalin
Founder, Another Limited Rebellion
Dream Small: The Future Is What We Create Every Day
Having big dreams is a wonderful way to find purpose in your work and change the world. However, Big Ideas and Big Goals can be daunting — or worse, completely paralyzing. That’s why it’s important to Dream Small!
Through a highly engaging illustrated presentation, artist/author Noah Scalin will introduce one of the most important and counterintuitive principles of developing creativity within yourself and your organization. Noah shares the story of how a series of little experiments (including ones that blew up in his face) led to massive innovations and a new world of opportunities. He will challenge common misperceptions about creativity and introduce strategies that anyone can use right away to innovate and grow and inspire others to do the same.

Dr. Edmond J. Seifried
Professor Emeritus of Economics and Business, Lafayette College
Will the Fed's Current Inflation Battle Result in a Hard or Soft Landing for the US Economy?
We are into the third year of the Covid pandemic, and it is now clear the fiscal and monetary stimuli applied to defeat the economic downturn caused by the virus was way too strong. In late 2021, the Fed announced a major policy pivot away from fighting the high unemployment caused by the Covid recession to combating the highest inflation this nation has experienced in decades.
In addition, the current Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused additional inflationary pressures to erupt in the energy and commodity sectors, with certain commodities reaching historic record highs. The most important issue at this moment is how the Federal Reserve will respond to the current inflationary spiral.
Can the Fed combat current inflation without weakening the economy so much as to cause another recession? Dr. Ed will discuss all of the monetary policy weapons that the Fed will deploy to fight this inflation monster. Higher policy rates and changes in the Fed’s balance sheet will work to slow inflation but will also create new forces that may impact the economy in unforeseen ways.
