An exclusive event for regional banks (USD$250B in asset size or less), globally
Attention Regional Bank Executives! Join us at the 8th annual BAFT Regional Bank Conference (RBC), the premier event designed for regional banks, by regional banks.
The RBC is dedicated specifically to regional bankers and serves as a unique hub for networking, thought-provoking discussion, and collaboration. We are also pleased to once again partner with Swift to offer special training for all registered attendees on the second day of the conference. Come and share your ideas, insights, and expertise openly amongst your peers who understand your business and your bank’s challenges and aspirations. Together, we’ll delve into the most pertinent topics shaping our regional bank community.
Although this is an exclusive event for banks with an asset size of no more than USD$250B, there are no geographical restrictions. The conference is open to all regional bankers, regardless of where in the world your bank is based.
