CIB 20th Annual Convention

This three-day conference is designed for community banks -- to provide you with the tools needed to help steer your institution through the current market, assess and capitalize on strategic opportunities, and improve your organization’s performance.

The face of community banking and the world around us is changing and without arming
ourselves with the knowledge and know-how to take these challenges on, we risk stagnancy.
While we all are pressed by the commitments of our work and personal lives, finding the
time for critical education and face-to-face interaction is so crucial to our progression.

Now more than ever, community banks are being heard and seen for all they do in their
communities – supporting small businesses and households across the country and helping
to pick up the pieces of a broken economy. Let’s all move forward and prepare ourselves for
the new waves of change that will affect our banks. The California Independent Bankers,
with the close collaboration of community bankers like you, have put together this special
program to address current community bank issues and the challenges of today and tomorrow.

With a little bit of everything to make your conference experience worthwhile, you will
walk away confident with information you can share with your bank. You will hear from
experts on strategic planning for executives, CEOs and directors. You will also hear more
community bank perspectives on current examination trends and pressing regulatory issues,
financial oversight and risk governance, capital markets strategies, pending legislation and
other timely and useful workshops. See our complete program and what it has to offer in
this brochure. This conference is also the time to network with your peers in the industry
and exchange your experiences. We have also priced the conference with your budget in
mind keeping fees at cost. This is the conference for community banks and now is the time
to take part.
