  • Moderated roundtable discussions based on bank challenges, goals, successes, and lessons learned.
  • Product demonstrations from fintech providers showcasing solutions for both front and back office needs.
  • Opportunities to build relationships across Georgia’s community bank innovation ecosystem.
  • One-on-one sessions with innovation bankers to explore where your bank stands and where it can go next.
