What Is Making Your Bank’s Short List for Next Year?

Every initiative competes for the same budget, people, and attention. So what makes the cut?

On Dec. 8, join community banking leaders for a practical look inside the decisions shaping their plans for the year ahead. What deserves investment? What needs another look? And where do they see an opportunity worth pursuing?

We’ll explore the tradeoffs behind those choices, from growing customer relationships to evaluating technology, building talent, and responding to risk. Hear where peers agree, where their approaches differ, and which questions they are still working through.

Bring your toughest planning question. Leave with fresh perspective on your next decision.

Put your own priorities to the test.

Join the conversation to explore:

  • What is earning a place in next year’s budget? Hear how bankers weigh competing investments—and what they are willing to defer.
  • Where could growth come from? Explore the customer relationships and local opportunities bankers want to pursue.
  • Which technology moves are worth making? Discuss how leaders decide when to move forward with AI and other tools, and when to wait.
  • Can the team deliver the plan? Examine the skills, capacity, and leadership needed to turn priorities into action.
  • What could change the plan? Hear which risks and assumptions bankers are watching most closely.

45 minutes. Banker perspectives. Decisions you can bring back to your team.
