Community Banking in the 21st Century Research and Policy Conference 2019 | Community Banking Org. | 1 October 2019 | Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, Federal Reserve Bank Plaza, 1 Broadway, St. Louis, MO 63102, USA

The research conference will bring together community bankers, academics, policymakers and bank regulators to discuss the latest research on community banking.

The conference presents an innovative approach to the study of community banks. Academics explore issues raised by the industry in a neutral, empirical manner and present their findings at the conference. Community bankers contribute to an annual national survey prior to the conference and then participate directly in the conference by serving as keynote speakers and panelists and by providing feedback to the research presented.
